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.
Good for chuck
That's wonderful, Charles
Sir Charles!
A speech that no doubt involves dice.on a flight to Reno where he was making a speech.
I love Chuck. He did a great thing.
That being said, this thread would be remiss without one of these:
I bet the kid was black.
what the does that matter, nuts?
you know it
hey chuck
You can pay for my MBA too.
You know what's great, how many pro athletes would buy pussy instead? , they usually have it thrown at them. Good job Sir Charles!
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.
, where the was he when I was in college here in Philly?
Nice post, ya negative head.
well he probably was
classy move, great gesture sir charles.
Do you think Charles asked first?
at the people freaking out about the comment. It's just true is all. Didn't mean any crap about it.
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! ing Moron!
Re: Charles Barkley tips well, pays busboy's tuition to Temple
Nice gesture Charles. We need more athletes like you and stories like this!
So you're saying he got rich and married a white girl?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.

No, you said that.
That statement is as lame as they come.
