There appear to be no hard feelings between Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant in the wake of their most recent war of words, but Dwight Howard has somehow ended up in the line of fire.
Kobe said during an interview with Patrick Bet-David at the PHP Agency Convention in Las Vegas this week that he could have won 12 championships if Shaq wasn’t so lazy. Shaq didn’t seem amused and responded by firing some shots back at Bryant on social media, but Kobe later tweeted that there is no renewed beef between him and his former Lakers teammate no matter how much the media wants it.
That’s where Howard came in. Shaq took to Twitter to tell Kobe that everything is “all good” between the two, and he couldn’t resist zinging Howard.
It’s all good bro, when I saw the interview, I thought you were talking about Dwite, is that how u spell his name lol

Kobe’s response was just as good:

Howard, of course, spent one disappointing season with the Lakers and infamously butted heads with Kobe. Shaq and Kobe clashed as well, but they won three championships together.
Howard recently signed with the Lakers again and has an opportunity to make good on an old promise, but he’s apparently not going to get support from two of the team’s biggest legends — at least not on Twitter.
