Udonis Haslem on the Lakers: ‘If the coach is JJ Redick, it’s gonna be a cynical locker room’

Howard has repeatedly said that he has no issues with O’Neal, and recently – appearing on the OG’s Podcast with Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller – said that he has tried to squash the beef multiple times: “There hasn’t been a time where Shaq has just reached out like that. I’ve reached out to Shaq myself on multiple occasions because I’m like ‘what’s the issue?’ Like, I understand the competitive side, but we don’t even compete against each other and it’s like two different two different stratospheres. Like, he played, he did his thing, nobody’s ever taken that away and I did my thing. I have reached out to him, and I would like for us to have some type of, you know, relationship. Life is too short and for us to be who we are, there’s no way we shouldn’t be able to work together in any capacity.” -via Clutch Points / May 7, 2024
