I'm guessing there are a lot of kids in this thread. No one thinks it's creepy/stalkerish on Howard's part at all? You say Shaq is being a bitch while it's cool for Howard to completely rip off Shaq's persona? Hmmm another center for the Magic that is "Superman"? The cape and the ESPN commercial were over the top imo. Shaq has Superman on everything and has done so since Howard was in diapers...literally. Looks like a straight rip off by Howard to me.

Shear Hollywood bs. Shaq has a flair for the dramatic and you're aboslutely right that DH is just trying to ring his own bell with the copycat crap. Shaq has an NBA (&LSU)legacy that Howard will never come close to and in fact, Shaq is still dominating DH on the court where it matters most. Best thing to do is just ignore all the media stuff and watch the games. Right now it doesn't look good for the rest of the East come playoff time.

I would be pissed too if someone is straight copying things off of his personality. It is straight up weird.

Everyone remebers Shaq as Superman. He also was the #1 overall pick to the Magic which makes the rip off worse. I have even seen Howard rip off Shaq's mannerisms as his own.

It is ok for little kids to mimic guys, but you don't rip off someone as an adult coworker.

Imagine if someone just started hanging with your group of friends and started copying things that you were recognized for. It would be frickig wierd.
