Javale McGee and former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal have certainly butted heads over the years, as McGee has made numerous appearances on Shaq’s infamous TNT segment, “Shaqtin’ A Fool.” In fact, some might venture to say McGee is the star of Shaqtin’ A Fool and the main reason the segment has become so popular.
In the event that you have not yet heard of “Shaqtin’ A Fool,” it’s the TNT postgame segment where Shaq chooses his most boneheaded plays of the night before they are compiled with funny music and graphics to add a little bit more humor.
Here are a few of our favorites from this season:
Last night, however, Shaq may have pushed the easy-going McGee too far with this video created for his “Shaqademy Awards”:

McGee didn’t take long to respond with this NSFW tweet:
@SHAQ get my ?’s out of your mouth! And EAD! #thatisall

If you thought media member Shaquille O’Neal was more likely to back down from a public fight than Shaq the player, you were sorely mistaken as he then fired back with a barrage of his own profane tweets:
@JaValeMcGee34 don’t be acting like u a g I’ll smack the s**t out yo bum ass u da one that be looking stupid with your dumb ass #bumass
— SHAQ (@SHAQ) February 24, 2017

And just for good measure, McGee came back at Shaq another time:
Oh we threatening people now? Kick rocks you old bastard… you ain’t gone do sh** !!! And that’s on my mama… stick to cooning! https://t.co/ZFuGREc1WJ

Shaq issued his final response of the night with a photoshopped picture:

Meanwhile, McGee is having his most productive season with the Warriors, even being a key piece off the bench for Golden State this season, especially while fellow bigs Zaza Pachulia and David West were both out with injuries.
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens when these two see each other in person next on March 20 when the Warriors head to Oklahoma City for their game against the Thunder that will be on, you guessed it, TNT.
