Charles Barkley was seen shaking hands with Purdue players as they left the court after their loss to UConn in Monday Night’s national championship game.

Charles Barkley is known for saying a lot of funny things on television, but he's also known for being one of the nicest guys on the planet when he's not in front of the camera.
