Feud? What feud?
Dwight Howard and longtime nemesis Shaquille O’Neal are now about to become business partners.
Shaq has reportedly talked Dwight into hiring his agent Perry Rogers, and the big guys think this will help them successfully market their grudgingly-shared “Superman” nickname.
Per Yahoo:
Rogers could file official paperwork with the National Basketball Players Association as soon as Friday, sources said. Rogers doesn’t have any other NBA clients and established his reputation as tennis legend Andre Agassi’s longtime agent.
O’Neal, a longtime public nemesis of Howard’s, had extensive conversations with the Houston center and sold him on the marketing of “Superman” and the representation of Rogers, sources said. The potential of marketing Howard and O’Neal in advertisements together played a role, too, sources said.
Howard and O’Neal progressed in the NBA with the same moniker of “Superman” – for which Shaq has publicly mocked Howard – and they both left the Orlando Magic for the Los Angeles Lakers in the middle of their careers.
