Charles Barkley tips well, pays busboy's tuition to Temple

[carib]

Barkley's picked up the tuition for a busboy at a restaurant in Philly.


"Sir Charles told [Christian] Abate he would like to help him with his tuition, and Abate wasn't sure how to respond. Barkley didn't give him much time, telling Abate that he had the length of Barkley's meal to decide. Abate wisely accepted.

"He's a nice kid," Barkley said of Abate on Friday. "He was working with kids, I loved that he wanted to be a teacher, and I wanted to help him," Barkley told us by phone between stops on a flight to Reno where he was making a speech.

While the little-more-than-15% tip may seem particularly special, it's not so unusual for Sir Charles. In fact, the lovable goof has given at least $3 million to schools and education in his home state of Alabama. He's a giver, not a golfer.

As SportsByBrooks so eloquently put it, Barkley is just like Robin Hood: "He tries to take from the rich, but since he’s not very good at it, he gives to the poor out of his own pocket." So noble. Thump Bump, Chuck.

Double it down at the Palms, pay for two kids' tuition.

He's a great guy. He gambles too much, but he's still a great guy.

A speech that no doubt involves dice.

You know what's great, how many pro athletes would buy pussy instead? Hell, they usually have it thrown at them. Good job Sir Charles!

[duncan228]

Nice. I've always liked Barkley. I love him on TNT, he's never been afraid to speak his mind on anything. It's nice to see him giving back.

[1Parker1]

[Brutalis]

Laughing at your own stupidity. "I bet the kid was black", is not a true statement! A true statement would have been, "The kid was Black". What are you insinuating, that he only does things like that for black people? Doubt it seeing his ex wife is white and he has biracial children. Or is it that black people are the only people who are busboys? You need to get out more! Fucking Moron!

Nice gesture Charles. We need more athletes like you and stories like this! :tu

So you're saying he got rich and married a white girl?

No, you said that.

That statement is as lame as they come.

No, you said that.


Well he did

After this and your comment in the Club thread about Obama I'm seriously leaning towards you being a racist faggot

[SenorSpur]

Your level of philanthropic understanding is as pale as your skin.

My manz Chuck

[iminlakerland]

Charles Barkley is one of my favorite NBA personalities, he isnt afraid to speak his mind, he isnt perfect, but he loves to give back

Two thumbs up to the Chuckster!

[baseline bum]

Charles is a really cool guy. I met him a couple of times as a kid when he played for Philly, and he was never too big to sign an autograph or talk to a fan.

[SynicFan]

HILARIOUS to watch all the "PUBLICLY" politically correct people...

lol @ the politically correct thing. woooo.

My comment on Obama was just truth. This country is red blooded white, and is not going to listen to a black dude in office. It's just how it is, and he won't live to tell about his days as being president. Not saying it's right, just saying a good ole boy from the delta is going to take his head off. Just a prediction.

That is not my Myspace either. You'll need my name to find that first.

People need to get over themselves. It was a great thing what he did. I was just stating the obvious.

What's hilarious is that you refer to me as politically correct.

Wonder if chuck may be able to pay of my 50k in student loans?

All busboys are mexican these days, you fucking moron. It is work, after all.
