On this day in 2001, Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson went jaw-to-jaw in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Late in the game, Iverson was still talking, telling Kobe what was waiting for them in Philly. Kobe’s message: “I don’t care. We don’t care. We gonna come and we gonna play.”

When MJ was asked about LeBron James teaming up with Wade & Bosh in Miami: "There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team.' In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

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.”

(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.

Mahershala Ali was a guard for Saint Mary’s in the mid-1990s. The Santa Clara scholarship Nash used to launch his pro career had first been offered to him: “He had one scholarship offer in the US. I had that offer first. I turned it down.” credit: WCCSports on YouTube

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.
