The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Miami Heat center Shaquille O’Neal and New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush will partner up on NBA All-Star Weekend for charity. The pair will hold a fundraiser for various New Orleans charities which they have named “The Big Easy Billiards Bash” at a downtown New Orleans hotel on February 15. The event which will take place two days before the All-Star game will feature a billiards tournament and an auction. O’Neal graduated from LSU, and still is a frequent face in Louisiana. In a statement issued Tuesday Shaq said “This whole weekend is about people being in New Orleans for New Orleans. We wanted to show people coming together, celebrating what has been done and remembering that there’s still a lot to do.”
