Shaquille O’Neal Reignites Beef With Dwight Howard By Discrediting His NBA Championship With A Hilarious “Bus Driver” Remark

Former NBA players Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard have exchanged criticism several times over the past few months. They have targeted each other on various topics, but the most controversial issue has been Howard’s contribution to the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2020 NBA championship season.

In a recent episode of the Big Podcast with Shaq, O’Shea Jackson Jr. discussed the Lakers’ 2020 NBA Championship roster. When he mentioned Howard’s name, O’Neal began criticizing him with the “Bus Driver” remark.

“He’s a bus rider. JaVale McGee, he gets my respect. But that other motherf*****s bus riders. … On some people, he can pull that, ‘Oh, I got a championship.’ Not with the motherf*****g Don Dada. He can’t pull that s**t with me.” O’Neal said.
