Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal still hasn't dropped his resentment for Magic center Dwight Howard and their shared Superman nickname.

"You tell me who the real Superman is," O'Neal said after Cleveland defeated Orlando on Thursday night. "Don't compare me to nobody. I'd rather not be mentioned. I'm offended."

"It's not a big issue for me. He's going to say what he has to say," Howard said in response. "I don't have any personal problems against him. If he's mad about a nickname, a lot of people call themselves Superman, not just me and Shaq."

O'Neal got irritated with Howard over All-Star Weekend two years ago, when he donned a Superman cape while winning the Slam Dunk Contest.

"Well, I would say it doesn't feel good when a guy like Shaq is talking bad about you, about a nickname as simple as Superman," Howard said. "But there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to go back and forth with the issue."
