Charles Barkley bought the Tampa Bay Lightning coaches’ dinner

Charles Barkley is an awesome dude whose generosity knows no bounds.

The Hall of Famer and TNT basketball analyst has been supporting the Tampa Bay Lightning throughout the NHL playoffs and even picked up the dinner tab for about 20 of the team’s coaches and front office members the night before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

According to The Chicago Tribune, Barkley recommended Lightning coach Jon Cooper dine at Chicago Cut Steakhouse when he and the team were in town to face the Blackhawks, so the coach took up the analyst on his advice.
