Sir Charles is showing his respect.
While Charles Barkley is renowned for his humorous quips on television, off-camera he’s equally esteemed for his genuine kindness. This was evident in a heartwarming moment captured after UConn’s victory over Purdue in Monday night’s national championship game in Arizona.
A fan caught Barkley extending his hand to shake hands with Purdue players as they left the court and made their way to the locker room following their 75-60 loss. This gesture, especially after a tough defeat, must have meant a lot to Zach Edey and his teammates.
