Lakers’ Dwight Howard admits he and JaVale McGee talked about fighting
Shaquille O’Neal

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal has picked on Dwight Howard and
JaVale McGee a lot, so much so that Howard and McGee talked about fighting
The Diesel.
本赛季湖人阵中的两位球员：Dwight Howard & JaVale McGee，
都曾经跟湖人传奇球星Shaquille O'Neal有过过节。
Before he joined the Warriors back in 2016, McGee had this reputation of
being a goofy player on the court who really didn’t know how to play
basketball. As a result, McGee was the star of O’Neal’s show “Shaqtin’ A
Fool.”
在2016加入勇士前，McGee当时以场上常出现一些愚蠢行为而著名，
他当时不太知道如何在场上打球。
结果成为了Shaq乌龙球的上榜明星常客。
Every week, O’Neal made fun of McGee when he would do something mindless and
funny on the floor. It took a toll on McGee and his love for the game was
clearly affected.
每个礼拜，Shaq都会用McGee在球场上的行为来嘲讽他作为取乐之用。
McGee为此而对比赛的热情受到了影响。
Meanwhile, O’Neal has been ripping Howard for years. Shaq, who won three
titles with the Lakers, was never a fan of Howard using his “Superman”
nickname. O’Neal once said Howard wasn’t a dominant big man and was only a
good pick-and-roll player.
同时，Shaq多年来一直不喜欢Howard，
在湖人拿过三次冠军的Shaq拒绝将"超人"的封号让给Howard。
Shaq曾说过：“Howard并不是个有统治力的大个子，只是个好的挡拆球员。”
On Lakers guard Danny Green’s podcast, Howard opened up about how he and
McGee briefly talked about fighting Shaq before coming to their senses, via
Anthony Irwin of Silverscreenandroll.com:
近日，在上队友Danny Green的播客节目时，
Howard透露了他之前跟McGee私下谈论如何找Shaq打架的事。
“We did. I asked him. I was like, ‘Hey, did you want to fight Shaq?’ He
was like, ‘Man I did, man!’ I was like, ‘Man I did too,’ but I was like,
‘There’s two things we’ve got to worry about. He’s a cop, so if we hurt
him we’re going to jail. And two, if Shaq gets a hold of us, it’s over
with. You’ve got to hit him and move, because if not? If Shaq gets you? It’
s over with.’
Howard表示：
“我们确实有谈到，我当时问McGee说：‘嘿，你是不是想打Shaq？’
结果他说：‘兄弟，我真的想揍他’
我说：‘兄弟，我也一样’
可我说‘有两件事要担心，第一他是警察，如果我们真的揍他可能会去坐牢。
第二如果被他逮到了我们就玩完了。
所以必须揍完他就赶紧开溜，不然一旦被抓住就GG了。”
“We talked about that. We laughed about a good 30 minutes, just talking
about Shaq and all the things he said about us. But you know what it kind of
did? It kind of kept us grounded, but it also made us realize, all right —
every night we step in the gym, on the court, whatever we’re doing, let’s
go 110 percent because we don’t want somebody like this, or anybody ever
questioning who we are as basketball players and men.”
“我当时真的跟McGee讨论过，两人笑了整整30多分钟，
谈论著Shaq他所说关于我们两个的一切。
这代表什么你知道吗？
这让我们明确意识到一件事，每晚我们走进健身房、踏上了球场，
无论做什么，我们都要付出110%的努力，因为我们不想要变成他们口中的那种人，
或让任何人质疑我们作为篮球员的努力。”
