Shaquille O’Neal has been well regarded for his skill on the basketball court and his antics as a media personality. However, the celebrated athlete has also been lauded for being quite generous at times. There have been numerous occasions where O’Neal has been known to surprise people in the best ways. Just this past weekend, the Los Angeles Lakers icon did just that when he gave his server a large tip at a restaurant. As sweet as that was, though, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t also focused on the funny way he trolled that same employee.
The man also known as “The Diesel” visited The Original Ninfa’s Uptown, which is located in Houston and is a long-standing establishment that’s highly regarded for its Mexican food. According to CultureMap Houston, Shaq stopped by the eatery for lunch, and it seems he made quite the impression on the staff and fellow patrons. Not only did the businessman opt to eat alongside other customers instead of sitting in a private room, but he also posed for pictures. On top of that, the 15-time All-Star tipped his server a whopping $1,000.
