Ed. note - My colleague erivera7 did a pregame podcast with Phoenix Stan, of Bright Side of the Sun, SB Nation's Suns blog. Give it a listen, won't you? - BQR

Former Orlando Magic center Shaquille O'Neal is a man of the people. He aspires to work in law-enforcement after his basketball-playing days are over, and he's connected with hundreds of thousands of fans via his Twitter.

However, it appears as though Shaq is not a man of Dwight Howard, the Magic's current All-Star center. Howard says O'Neal is one of the few legends who has never offered him advice, and that he has treated him coldly throughout his career. While it's true that O'Neal is by no means obligated to share what he knows with Dwight, it does seem strange that he's treated him with hostility, even contempt, saying the following in an interview with The Sporting News

Every street he is driving down in Orlando, I have been on that street. Every night club, every restaurant, I have been there and done that. Until he wins three, four championships, then we can talk about him. But right now, he is just like every other big guy. You can run and jump, but you haven't won yet.

Shaq defies conventional analysis, not that I'm a qualified clinician anyway, but one nonetheless gets the impression he's jealous that Howard has leapfrogged him in the hearts and minds of most NBA observers, not to mention Magic fans. The fact that Howard has also appropriated Shaq's "Superman" moniker must also irk him. Is he worried about fading from memory? He insists he can continue to post gaudy 30-point, 10-rebound games until he retires. I think it's a case of a prideful man protesting too much, as it were. It sounds like I'm railing on Shaq here, but the truth is, I love him. He's great for the game of basketball. All I'm saying is that I hope he gets humiliated tonight.

When Shaq's comments were posted on this site yesterday, some readers were irritated with the passivity with which Howard responded to them:

That's just how I feel. I don't know if he was taking shots or what he was doing, but that's fine with me. He's Shaq and there's nothing I can do about it.

Maybe we'll see a mean streak in Dwight tonight. Need I remind you that Howard's remarkable 45-point, 19-rebound, 8-block effort against the Bobcats two weeks ago was largely due to his anger with himself for a miserable performance (4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 fouls) in an earlier meeting with them? Shaq's dis, coupled with Howard's offensive and defensive struggles against the Diesel throughout his career (for instance, Shaq has made nearly twice as many field goals as Dwight in their head-to-head meetings, despite playing fewer minutes, while shooting a higher percentage from the field) could be enough motivation to fuel another monster performance by Orlando's newest franchise center.

When accounting for the clash of the titans, the exciting finish in the first meeting between these teams this season, the animosity the Orlando crowd will have for O'Neal and Grant Hill... it's going to be one whale of a game. Don't miss it. Tip's at 7. Go Magic

Is there beef between Shaq and Dwight

I’ve always been a fan of shaq, but this article kinda surprised me to be honest.

http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20090303/SPORTS16/903030346/1002

Apparently he’s been hostile to Dwight ever since he entered the league.

I don't think there's "beef", per se.

I think Shaq is just making a concerted effort to get into Dwight’s head.

I really hope Howard dunks on Shaq to shut him up

As far as I can recall, Shaq’s only been dunked on 1 time in a game since he’s been in the league. You’re probably saying bull sh#$% right now, but can anyone find any video of it on youtube? I’m talking about straight up getting dunked on, like Alonzo Mourning frequently did. By the the way, the player that dunked on shaq was…..Derrick Coleman when he played with the Nets, I think it was shaq’s first or send year.

I hope that too

But dunking on him won’t shut him up.

I remember that dunk vividly.

I found it hilarious when Coleman wagged his finger at Shaq.

Ultimately, O’Neal would get the last laugh when he freakin’ tore the backboard down.

If we're talking about Baron Davis

then I’m on board. I think I originally started the top 5 argument. If he had played a full year this year, his numbers would be in top 5, normal, advanced whatever.

And please don’t start dropping his numbers now in comparison, he was out for 2 months and played many games hurt, affecting his play, but give me a full healthy year with B.Diddy (last year?) And I’ll show you top 5.

I'll be at the game tonight

Just arrived in Orlando for my 9 day vacation. I didn’t get much sleep last night but I napped a bit on the plane and am excited to be going to the game. I have a pretty good ticket, behind the basket but in Row EE so it’s pretty close to the floor.

The Magic have won 7 games in a row with me in attendance (from Dec ‘04 to Jan ’07) so I hope that bodes well for tonight and the next two home games, which I’ll also be attending.

Should be a fun game to watch… enjoy the game everyone, and Go Magic!

True but I think Dwight was already on the verge of being intimidated before the game started . . .

and then he got his FIRST shot blocked.

The coaches should be telling Dwight to use his speed on Shaq and use pump fakes and such to get him in foul trouble.

Instead he’s allowing Shaq to do whatever he wants.

If it weren’t for lobs I don’t think Dwight would have ANY points! :(

Possibly.

I think they’re starting to adjust with Rafer in the lineup.

Hedo has stepped up his game as of late. Ditto with C. Lee. So things are looking okay.

Three things that I liked.

1 – Marcin Gortat. Dude played his tail off with the minutes he got.
8 points, 8 rebounds in 18 minutes. That’s an efficient effort.

2 – Several Magic players took over the game at various times.
Rafer, Hedo, Rashard, etc. Definitely was a team effort tonight by Orlando.

3 – Dwight responding in the second half with a solid effort.
For him to finish the game with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals .. in only 30 minutes of action is impressive. Extrapolate those numbers to 40-42 minutes and Howard has another one of those .. 30/15 games.

I like to add that I was impressed with the defensive effort by the Magic in the fourth quarter.

They were on pace to give up over 100 points easy, at one point, but buckled down and kept Phoenix to just 99 points. Not bad.

SVG SVG
Chris Mannix: Van Gundy has developed three All-Stars and dealt with the loss of his starting point guard (Jameer Nelson) by seamlessly transitioning to a new one (Rafer Alston) to keep the Magic in contention in the East. Barring a late-season fade, Van Gundy should sweep this award.

Steve Aschburner: Van Gundy is the front-runner. This is a process-of-elimination selection for me. My personal leaning is that the guy coaching the likely MVP shouldn’t win because he has the league’s best player, thereby making his job a tad easier. So that eliminates Cleveland’s Brown. Then there’s the tendency to look for coaches of improved teams rather than the powerhouses, which explains why Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich have won only one COY award each. Doc Rivers has last year’s defending champs, so he can’t be doing much heavy lifting, right? Nobody trusts Denver yet, so George Karl won’t be claiming this (and curiously, he never has despite three seasons with 60 victories and five more of 50 or more). Sloan, we all know, cut a deal with the devil, trading all consideration for this award for unrivaled job security. That leaves Van Gundy, who has emotions among voters on his side from his Miami exit and might inspire swell woe-is-me comedy from his brother, Jeff, on NBA broadcasts, if he gets this edge in sibling rivalry.
