Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t just think it’s okay for Dwight Howard to return to the Orlando Magic in free agency this summer. He endorses it. As the Hall of Fame-bound tower said, per ESPN.com’s Calvin Watkins: “I think it would be good for the city,” O’Neal said Monday of Howard returning to Orlando. “First of all, [...]

Former NBA megastar Shaquille O’Neal has seldom pulled any punches when it comes to riffing about Dwight Howard. That may be about to change.
