Craig Sager's wife, Stacy, has been by her husband's side throughout his battle against an aggressive form of leukemia.
But a few days before Sager's most recent bone marrow transplant, Stacy was unavailable. She came down with a cold, and doctors told her to stay home to avoid transmitting her illness to Craig, the well-known TNT sideline reporter.
Enter Charles Barkley.
When Barkley heard Stacy was unavailable, he flew to Phoenix to be by Craig's side, defying his own doctor's orders to be with his good friend and colleague. The Hall of Fame forward had hip surgery a few weeks ago and was not cleared to travel.
