Photo of the day: Yes, this happened
(CNN) - Chris Christie, the larger-than-life governor of New Jersey, finally met his match.
Shaquille O'Neal, who clocks in at just over 7 feet tall, stepped into the statehouse Friday and shook hands with the popular Republican governor.
A staff member for Christie posted the photo on Twitter and on Facebook.

Christie told New Jersey website the Daily Record that the veteran basketball star and Newark native was in town to discuss potential involvement in the state's gun buyback program.
Christie said Shaq "had good ideas."
"We'll do something with him," the governor said, according to the Daily Record.

Well, Shaq did in fact used to be a cop part time. He may have some good ideas.
The caption should read "Shaq visits The Big Apple."
These photos are a riot!
It looks as if Shaq was telling Christie how things were going to "roll" going forward.
Shaq: "So no more bullying, no more talking s hit about the President, no more running off at the mouth, or I'll be back and I
won't be as pretty. Okay?".
Christie: " Hey, whatever you say Shaq. Thank you so much for stopping in and setting me straight. I love you man!".
Really Dutch? Good ideas from the guy when in France with the Dream Team was asked if he went to the Louvre, responded, "Well, we've been to a bunch of clubs over here, but I don't think we've been to that one yet." Uh huh.
LOL. These two would make great running mates. It would drive the GOP crazy. I love any situation that makes the GOP crazy.
Christy better turn a Democrat....good luck.

He's no Michealangelo. lol. however, Shaq is from the hood. I'm sure he knows a thing or two about violence and crime in the hood.

Perhaps Shaq may not have been familiar with the Louvre but does that mean that he wasn't a good cop,and is devoid of good ideas?
Babe...
Christie's nose in this photo had me thnking about "Pinooooocchiooooo"!.
"We'll do something with him," the governor said, according to the Daily Record."
I am trying soooo hard not to laugh. (or something)
