Courtney Lee went out of his way to show his appreciation for not just his teammates but also the full roster of employees at FedEx Forum. The Grizzlies wing treated one of the largest groups Chipotle is going to get to lunch at the popular Mexican chain.

Here's the transcript of Lee's short speech to the FedEx Forum employees in the above video:

I just wanted to do something nice for you guys, because I see a lot of people here on a day-to-day basis. Some of you guys, I don't get to visit or have relationships with, but I just wanted to let you guys know what y'all's efforts and what y'all do for us—not only for myself but for my teammates also—it doesn't go unnoticed. So, I wanted to give back to you guys and show how much we appreciate you guys, and we're grateful for what you do for us.

Hopefully, this overtly kind gesture doesn't bring anyone any harm and simultaneously earn him the nickname of "Lee Coli."
