Shaquille O'Neal has used his TNT bully pulpit to pile on Ben Simmons, who has been sitting out the season because the 76ers and their fans hurt his feelings.
Shaq has called Simmons a "cry baby", among other things.
Simmons, who isn't getting paid because he's not playing, responded by sliding into Shaq's DM.
"He acting like a baby.”@Shaq went IN on Ben Simmons and says the Sixers star DM'd him mad for comments Shaq recently made on @NBAonTNT

"So he kinda got in my DM and said some things and I said some things back ... I'm not gonna elaborate what he said he because that's not cool. He was mad. He's probably mad because I'm his LSU brother. And I am."
Shaq also said that Simmons is messing up future NBA players' money by acting like an entitled baby.
