“Btw I don’t want people get entertained by two black men going back and forth over petty stuff. I don’t want to bicker I just want to settle this like the two successful HOF black men we are! You the most dominant center of all time! Come on to the podcast and let’s hash this out 💯,” Howard tweeted recently.

This invitation comes after a series of fiery exchanges. O’Neal dismissed Howard’s claims of jealousy and insecurity, accusing him of using the feud to gain views for his podcast.
“Still don’t care. Nice move, I see what you’re doing. Your legacy is your new podcast—that’s how you’ll be remembered… I have an empire to run, now leave me, son,” O’Neal shot back.

He’d have nothing to stand on if he came on your pod because it’s all bitterness towards your success. Also his zionist handlers would say it’s not good for business

People joke about Dwight sometimes but he was a goat and always seemed like a good dude
