Brace for impact,Watch Vagabond Online folks. This is officially a full-on Twitter war.
A pre-existing feud between former NBA star Shaquille O'Neill and Golden State Warriors center JaVale McGee flared up again late Thursday night with a series of hot tweets, the content of which included violent threats, nut emoji and not-so-savory photoshopped images.

Shaq — an analyst on TNT's Inside the NBA— hosts a segment called "Shaqtin' a Fool," which essentially exists to troll NBA players. McGee — who has found new life with the Warriors this season — has long been known as a walking lowlight reel, with a wealth of missed free throws, botched dunks and just general clumsiness to his name. He's a consistent target of Shaq's segment but isn't too happy about it.
McGee threw some shade at the segment in October, and the two had a minor exchange on Twitter in January, but things really went south this week.
After the Warriors' 123-113 win over the Clippers on Thursday, Shaq aired a hilarious Dr. Strange parody — featuring all of McGee's worst gaffes — to troll Golden State's center once again.

McGee had enough. He fired back with a bomb.
@SHAQ get my 🥜's out of your mouth! And EAD! #thatisall

If you're curious what EAD means, might we suggest the Urban Dictionary definition. It was enough to really rile up Shaq, who took things in a violent direction.
@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

McGee's frequent burn for Shaq is his age. He resorted to that one again.

Shaq finished off the battle with some handy photo editing, the contents of which are still up for debate.

Considering Shaq first made the "bum" comment at 12:57 a.m., he either 1) has a bank of edited photos waiting to be unleashed, or 2) is secretly a photoshop wizard and scrapped it together in by 1:05 a.m.
Either way, this explosion was a long time coming, and it's safe to bet we haven't seen the last of the Twitter beef between these two.
