    Barkley's my favorite commentator on TNT and it's great to hear he'd do something this nice to a total stranger. He may shoot his mouth off but sometimes it leads to good things too.

    Glad to hear he's doing something positive with the money instead of making it rain in Vegas.

    Well, at least losing in Vegas means he'll need to stay on TNT longer. It's really the competitive nature that causes athletes to gamble big there.

    Nice job by sir charles. We kill these athletes and entertainers when they mess up; they deserve props when they do something nice.

    Charles may sometime rub people the wrong way, but I think he is a really good guy who helps out a lot of people. Sometimes all you hear about is the bad things involving athletes.

    Just thought of a response to this post :lol:

    He may not stay on TNT longer as he could get fired for gambling.

    Kenny Smith is HORRIBLE. He jumps in for Clyde Frazier during Knick games sometimes and for the ten of us who enjoy the carnage of Knick blowouts, well he just makes you want to watch on mute. Not only is he a bad announcer, he makes no sense.

    I LOVE Sir Charles. Loved him as a player. Love him as a personality. You know, for a Super-star, few come more honest than this guy.
