“I may be 50, but I’m still Superman!”: Shaquille O’Neal attempts to dunk on his 50th birthday, shows he still has more bounce than Dwight Howard

Lakers’ legend Shaquille O’Neal attempts to dunk after turning 50, proves he still owns the Superman title over Dwight Howard

Whenever one thinks of the most dominant centers in the league, Shaquille O’Neal is probably the first name to mind. He terrorized the league from the late 90s to the mid-2000s. Shaquille O’Neal dominated the game in every aspect and was an unstoppable force in the paint. One of his more fond nicknames was Superman.

The title belonged with Shaq for quite some time, before Dwight Howard made an attempt to claim the same. During the 2009 All-Star Weekend, Dwight Howard took part in the Dunk Contest, and tried to take the title from Shaq.

While others handed over the title, Shaquille O’Neal never did so. He never was okay with people calling Howard Superman. It’s been 13 years, and Shaq is still not ready to give up the title.

Shaq turned 50 on 6th March. Ever since he turned 50, last night was the first TNT broadcast. There, Shaquille O’Neal tried to show how he can still dunk as Dwight Howard did back in the day.

Shaq brought the rim down, as the ball went inside. While others didn’t consider it as a dunk, Shaq sure tried to sell it as one.

The 50-year-old Hall of Famer has never liked the fact that his Superman title was given to Dwight Howard. He has talked about the same on multiple occasions.

Well, considering how Shaq can still dunk at 50, that too in a formal fit, I’d say, the title is his.
