Charles Barkley Nuzzles Wisconsin Badgers Fan for Excellent Selfie

Wisconsin felled the mighty redwood that was Kentucky on Saturday night, toppling the Wildcats 71-64 in their Final Four matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium and ending John Calipari's team's undefeated streak at 38 games.

The victory marked an evening of joy for Badgers fans and the large cross section of Americans who actively hope all the bad things in life happen to Kentucky and no one else but Kentucky, and TNT personality Charles Barkley was on the scene taking it all in.

For reasons that need not be explained, Barkley spent a moment of this momentous evening in college hoops taking one of the more intimate celebrity selfies in recent memory with one Badgers fan.

A man named Jonah Caspe posted an image to Facebook of his close-up encounter with Chuck (h/t For The Win's Nick Schwartz). Presumably asked for a picture, the analyst did one better and leaned in for the real thing.

I hear a Frank Sinatra song when I see this picture:

"

Heaven…I'm in heaven.

And the doubters that hung around us through the week

Seem to vanish like Kentucky's winning streak

When we're out here taking selfies cheek to cheek.

"

I applaud this picture. I have no idea what compelled Barkley to nuzzle this young man and stare doe-eyed at the camera, but I'm glad it happened.

This isn't a selfie. This is art.

Dan is on Twitter. Every day I'm nuzzling.
