Now, we can’t say for sure that Howard is being serious. He’s famously had a long-running beef with Shaq, one that is continuing to go on to this day. Howard and Garnett had their issues in the past, including a headbutt by Garnett to Howard during a 2015 game.

As for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Howard has expressed his admiration for the six-time NBA champion many times over the years. This includes saying Kareem may be the GOAT.

It will be interesting to see if any of the mentioned players respond to Howard. Especially Shaq, as this could possibly end their long-time beef.
