It was Shaq-a-claus in July for a Baton Rouge resident Tuesday night
Chris Plant was celebrating his 31st birthday with a party of 10 at Texas De Brazil when former LSU basketball star and four-time NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal walked in the restaurant with a friend.
Plant and his group greeted the gregarious 7-2 O'Neal and engaged in some friendly banter. A few moments later, the manager informed Plant that O'Neal was picking up the entire Plant birthday party tab.
After dinner, O'Neal posed with each member of Plant's party for individual photos.
