Happy birthday to Charles Barkley. Remember when he went 1-on-3, holding back three grown men — Payton, Kemp, Askew — like toddlers fighting over a toy. Sir Charles has always been larger than life.

What did Michael Jordan think about 3-point shooting? “My 3-point shooting is something that I don’t want to excel at, because it takes away from all phases of my game. My game is a fake, drive to the hole, penetrate, dish off, dunk, whatever, and when you have that mentality, as I found out in the first game, of making threes, you don’t go to the hole as much. You go to the 3-point line and you start sitting there waiting for someone to find you. And that’s not my mentality, and I don’t want to create that because it takes away from my other parts of my game.”

This is what today’s NBA is missing: Dennis Rodman and Charles Oakley going at it, Jordan stepping in as the peacemaker, and MSG absolutely losing it.

During the 1976 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns remains largely overlooked in basketball history. When a fan directly attacked referee Richie Powers during the climactic moments of what many consider the greatest game ever played.

(1999) Jalen Rose trips Patrick Ewing… and Big Pat starts walking him down like a 7-foot Terminator. Dale Davis pulls up, the whole Garden panics, Vivica Fox is courtside yelling, and somehow Jeff Van Gundy is in the middle of a fight he has no business surviving.

Michael Jordan won MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in 1987-88 while averaging 35.0 PPG. Rookie Scottie Pippen averaged 7.9 points in 20.9 minutes per game. But sure, Jordan was going 0-6 without him. Rich Paul has no idea what he’s talking about.

On this day in 1997, Michael Jordan walked into the Bullets’ locker room and said, “Who’s going to check me tonight?” 55 points at age 34. “Sorry about the triangle, Tex.” Later that night, Jordan sat in his Ferrari next to the Bullets’ team bus, a cigar lit.

On this day in 1994, Scottie Pippen delivered one of the coldest playoff posters ever, soaring over Patrick Ewing in Game 6 of Bulls-Knicks at Chicago Stadium. Then he added the punctuation, stepping past Ewing and telling Spike Lee to sit down.
