    Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is a three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and a five-time All-Star, but that wasn't enough for Shaquille O'Neal to call him the best big man in the game.

    O'Neal, now a TNT analyst after retiring during the offseason following a sure-to-be Hall of Fame 19-season career in the league, bestowed that distinction on Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum during a recent telecast.

    "The best big man in the game is Andrew Bynum," O'Neal said.

    Bynum and Howard went head to head in the Magic's 92-80 win over the Lakers on Friday, and Howard got the best of Bynum, finishing with 21 points, 23 rebounds and one blocked shot to Bynum's 10 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.

    "I'm not going to say I didn't hear it, because I'd be lying, but I don't pay attention to it," Bynum said when asked about O'Neal's comments. "It's tough to watch the broadcast when you're probably playing in the game, you know?"
