The Jake Paul's decision over Mike Tyson, which drew a response online from your buddy Dwight Howard. 'Shaq, what's up? Let's make bread.'" "What do you think, you and Dwight Howard in the ring? SHAQUILLE O'NEAL: I only fight people in the Top 75.
Looking to move the beef into a boxing ring, inspired by 58-year-old Mike Tyson recently taking on Jake Paul, Dwight Howard extended an invitation to Shaquille O’Neal. The four-time NBA champion turned down the offer citing NBA rings but presented future options. Howard and Shaq reignited their beef with a hilarious exchange on X. “Shaq, wassup?” wrote the 38-year-old center using a boxing emoji, “Let’s make bread.”
After Stewart initially was called only for his second personal foul, the play was immediately reviewed and the foul upgraded to the Flagrant 2 for unnecessary and excessive contact. When asked about the play after the game, Antetokounmpo paraphrased a quote from Mike Tyson in a documentary advancing the former heavyweight boxing champion's upcoming fight with Jake Paul. "He said some guys are manufactured killers, he's a born killer," Antetokounmpo began. "I just feel the same way. I've been in that position many times in my life. I have two older brothers that, you know, push me on the floor, play, be tough on me, especially Thanasis. I've been so many times hit. So, it doesn't really faze me anymore. It doesn't really faze me. All I could think about was get up and try to make two free throws.
