Getting into the feelings of Shaquille O’Neal must take all of one or two sentences, if the Lakers legend’s recent actions are anything to go by.

Shaq seems to have added feuding with new players to his list of 2021 resolutions. If you thought he’d be any less petty this year than in times past, you clearly erred. O’Neal has been acting like a baby off the court since retirement basically any time his name comes up.
Shaquille O’Neal has been poking fun at Rudy Gobert for signing a contract in excess of $200 million. The number of time that Shaq has brought this up, you’d definitely surmise that he’s jealous of the Frenchman. This is despite the fact that Shaq has a net worth of over $400 million himself.
Shaq then got into it with Donovan Mitchell after the Jazz’s win over the Pelicans. The big man said to the Spida’s face that he isn’t ready to lead a championship team yet.
Shaquille O’Neal sends Instagram DM to artist who photoshopped Donovan Mitchell dunking on him
An artist who mainly posts edited pictures of NBA players drew up an image of Donovan Mitchell dunking on Shaq Diesel. The caption of the pic isn’t a bit provocative: “Shaq Don’t Really Want The Smoke With The Spida…Donovan Putting This Down On Shaq?”
The artist also tagged Shaq, SportsCenter and Donovan Mitchell on his pic, among others. This is probably what led to the Lakers’ 3-time Finals MVP noticing this image. He didn’t take too kindly to being depicted in this light. Shaq texted the artist on his Instagram DMs, giving him a heaven-sent opportunity to gain traction.
Shaq said ‘Shut yo dumb a** up’ in the message, to which the artist didn’t respond before posting a screenshot on Instagram. It should suffice to say that ‘Calsoscoped’ has been successful in his endeavour to gain some easy publicity.
