Before Thursday, few would have guessed that O’Neal would support Howard after years of public tension. Their rivalry started in 2008, but it seems they have reconciled ahead of this significant moment in Howard’s career.
Both players share remarkable similarities, including being No. 1 overall picks and playing for the Orlando Magic. O’Neal’s presence at Howard’s induction indicates a newfound respect between the former rivals.
