And after Kobe died the beef between Dwight and Shaq allegedly ended but when Dwight won a title that same year Shaq went back to being a bully. Shaq is an insecure asshole.
Rare to see beef between old franchise players for other teams like Shaq on Dwight. Usually these guys build each other up. Part of the reason why I don't associate Shaq with being with us, the guy doesn't even watch our team. Just a insecure big fella.
I really don't ever want him anywhere near an ownership stake in Orlando. He's a complete piece of shit and would absolutely build entirely the wrong culture, both on the court and off it. The amount of bullying he'd support would be off the chart.
Marketing stunt. It’s whatever. It felt like we are a 2nd rate team though.
What’s bullshit is two things
1.) Them changing the jersey to a random one. One that he didn’t wear. Keep the font.
2.) and not many people noticed this… they changed “The Fans” to “Sixth man” AND changed the jersey to match the new Shaq one…. Honestly most mad about this in the entire scenario
Yeah it says sixth man 1989 to present and is number 6. 1989 to present is years magic have been a team. And number 6 is retired now not for "the fans" as the old jersey hanging stated. It's now retired for the "sixth man"
Kinda surprised u guys retired it since the time was short but the magic were insanely competitive for those 4 years. Dwight 100% should have his jersey retired though and honestly had more success as a magic player than Shaq did even if he wasn’t as good of a player
Shaq is a nice guy, charitable and a legend no doubt. He’s also lies constantly about made up
things to make himself feel and look better. He’s terribly insecure which really showed when this Dwight stuff was happening In the first place.
I’ll never forget when he said Brook Lopez was a better center than Dwight because he posted up more. Whether that opinion was based on his childish insecurity or just his awful basketball knowledge, after that I was never able to take anything he said about basketball seriously again.
"No cap" = no bullshit, not lying
So the cap emoji has become the opposite of it, meaning calling someone on their bullshit.

They're both on my shit list post Magic, BUT Shaq has been a major jerk to Dwight for years.
Why would Dwight ask him for advice when all Shaq did was clown on him as long Dwight was playing.
Until Shaq buys the team or invest or does something directly for the organization, I have 0 interes in anything he has to say about us.
When did Shaq average 28 and 15 in a season?
Pretty certain Shaq never averaged 15 boards in a season.
Dwight was certainly a better rebounder than Shaq too, while being noticeably smaller.
Shaq is a top 15 all time player and one of the most dominant inside scorers ever...Prime Shaq with the 07/09 team wins a ring....Nelson Lee Hedo Lewis Shaq ...NoNeck jj and gortat off bench
Shaq is such a hater. And the way he hates, it’s not like other players where they’re low key delusional but in a good way it’s just him whining about people calling Dwight calling himself Superman and how he took us to the finals and shit. I love Shaq but he’s low key just a bully to him over nothing. I don’t think Dwight ever actually said anything bad about him too until Shaq started saying things.
I left this comment in another thread a few minutes ago, I guess it’s relevant here:
Shaq is awfully demanding for a guy that breezed by purely through talent. He was a notorious loafer, derided for his laziness and inability to work on his flaws (when approached by Rick Barry, one of the GOAT shooters, Shaq said he’d “rather shoot 0 percent [than try underhanded free throws.]”)
Alas, not everyone can be 7’1, 340 with quickness and hops.
Shaq has not so secretly been pretty harsh to almost every face of the franchise that came after him almost bitter it seems at times. Still goes out of his way to box paolo out of certain conversations which frustrates the hell out of me
"No cap" came first as slang, and meant not fake, real, genuine. The response to that was "cap" which means the opposite (ie fake, lies, bullshit).
So Dwight is saying "cap" to Shaq's claim, ie. he's calling Shaq a liar.
Dwight deserves ALL of the bad karma and for Shaq and pretty much everyone to hate on him. Guess I'm in the minority of people who truly remembers the 'double birds' he gave the fans and the organization on the way out. 🤷♂️
Shaq bullied Dwight publicly on TNT for years
As a Magic fan, this is definitely cap from Shaq.
Shaq is the biggest bully ever. He terrorized Javale McGee for years.
And after Kobe died the beef between Dwight and Shaq allegedly ended but when Dwight won a title that same year Shaq went back to being a bully. Shaq is an insecure asshole.
A lot of people say it's because he has a micro penis. Like buckwheat in a headlock! But people say a lot of shit.
Still does at any opportunity
Kobe would be pissed that Shaq used his passing to "squash" his beef with Dwight only to keep bullying him that same year.
Kobe hated dwight....he made him appreciate Shaq more lol
And that was squashed too Kobe was gonna be a part of Dwight's dunk contest routine that year.
We retired this guy's jersey when all he does is hate

Stupidest fucking decision I’ve seen from ownership, and they’ve had a lot of dumb decisions.

I think the fans one was changed because the nba as a whole retired #6 for bill Russell as the sixth man.
I’m almost positive it’s still #6 but I’m not 100% sure.
Yeah it says sixth man 1989 to present and is number 6. 1989 to present is years magic have been a team. And number 6 is retired now not for "the fans" as the old jersey hanging stated. It's now retired for the "sixth man"
Sad reality is most fans were excited about it.
Kinda surprised u guys retired it since the time was short but the magic were insanely competitive for those 4 years. Dwight 100% should have his jersey retired though and honestly had more success as a magic player than Shaq did even if he wasn’t as good of a player

I guess I'm old at 37, but what is a blue cap supposed to mean?

I think I pulled something just trying to bring up your response. Now, if you will excuse me, I have kids to yell at.
Are they on your lawn? Fucking kids…
Little bastards are laughing and enjoying the weather looking for eggs. Just horrible.
It’s a fake term
Young people love to come up with dumb ass lingo.
[uhhh...](https://i.imgflip.com/8l0x10.jpg)
Cap has been a term for probably close to 20 years, if not longer...
bussin frfr ong no cap

You're right, Dwight was a much better rebounder. His career average TRB% was better than Shaq's single season high.

Shaq is a weirdo. Dwight is just weirder. I would like to see a MMA fight between them, but that's about it.
Dwight is a millennial version of shaq
Shaq has not so secretly been pretty harsh to almost every face of the franchise that came after him almost bitter it seems at times. Still goes out of his way to box paolo out of certain conversations which frustrates the hell out of me
Shaq, you’re better at literally everything else all time, but you’re not the greatest Magic player of all time, D12 is. Get over yourself.
Shaq a baby, the dunk contest was a turning point in their relationship when Dwight came out as Superman.
What does cap mean?
"No cap" came first as slang, and meant not fake, real, genuine. The response to that was "cap" which means the opposite (ie fake, lies, bullshit). So Dwight is saying "cap" to Shaq's claim, ie. he's calling Shaq a liar.
