SHAQ TO WALK D12 OUT

Shaquille O'Neal has been making headlines recently for ending his long-standing feud with Dwight Howard. The two NBA legends have been at odds for over a decade, but Shaq has agreed to put their differences aside and walk Howard out during his Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

# Squashing the Beef
The feud between Shaq and Howard began over the "Superman" nickname, with Howard donning a Superman costume during the 2008 Slam Dunk Contest, which Shaq felt was a nod to his own persona. The tension escalated over the years, with both players exchanging jabs in the media. However, it seems they've finally buried the hatchet, with Shaq calling Howard "my guy" after agreeing to be part of the ceremony.

# Hall of Fame Induction
Dwight Howard will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class, alongside other notable figures like Carmelo Anthony, Sue Bird, and Maya Moore. Shaq's presence at the ceremony will undoubtedly be a highlight for Howard, who expressed his gratitude on social media.

# Other News
Shaq has also been in the news for his involvement in a lawsuit related to his promotion of the Astrals NFT project. The lawsuit alleged that he acted as a "control person" with decision-making authority, but the court dismissed this claim. Shaq agreed to pay an $11 million settlement, which was approved by a federal judge in Florida.
