Shaq talks Dwight Howard

While speaking on ESPN radio, Shaquille O'Neal again shared his thoughts on Dwight Howard.  O'Neal has never been shy when speaking on Howard and with Howard being a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, O'Neal's voice has grown even more.

"He's too nice," O'Neal said. "I'm a connoisseur of giggling and playing and all that and making you laugh and playing with the fans, but when I cross that line, I'm ready to tear your face off. I don't care who it is. You could put one of my aunts or uncles out there, and I'm going to give him these elbows in their chest and I'm going to throw it down in their face. That's what you have to do. ... He's just too nice. If I was him, I would get into the same mood I was in."

"He should have known all of this when he signed with L.A. He should have known what he was getting into. My advice to him is to look pressure in the face and give it the one-two combination and knock it out."

"I think it's my duty to help this young man become one of the best big men in the league," O'Neal said. "I'm from the old school. I'm not doing it nicely. I'm pushing buttons, I'm talking about you and I'm doing it like this. ... I think it's my job as a former big man to get him to play up to par.

"When I was in L.A., Kareem and Wilt never spoke to me. They never said two things to me. I took that as a, 'OK, you all don't think I'm as good as you yet. Well, watch this.' That's what it was -- motivation. Everything I say should be taken as motivation. He's the best big man in the league, and it's my job to make sure he plays that way. Period."
