Photo by Gary Bassing/Getty Images There was a time when Shaq comparisons were the sine qua non of discussion about Dwight Howard. The inane squawking about the “Superman” nickname, the alternating faux cattiness and faux chumminess with which the two interacted, the fan arguments over whether Howard’s legacy would ever eclipse O’Neal’s. It’s a tailor-made …

Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via Getty Images BOX SCORE The Magic dropped an infuriating game to the Mavericks on Friday, 100-98.
