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.

October 2003: LeBron James is playing just the second game of his NBA career against the Phoenix Suns, while Charles Barkley takes on an early edition of “Who He Play For?” on Inside the NBA. The crew introduces it as “The first and probably last edition…” Imagine telling the crew back in 2003 that they'd still be putting Chuck through this nearly 23 years later. 😂

Kobe was in disbelief when LeBron passed instead of going 1-on-1 against him in the final seconds of the 2012 All-Star Game. Adrian Wojnarowski wrote the next day: “Nothing in his DNA demanded that he go after Bryant there, that he destroy him in that moment.”

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."

Michael Jordan once told Kenny Smith to warn Reggie Theus that he was going to drop 45 points on him, all because Theus had said, "There's no guy who can replace me that's a rookie." Jordan took that personally and told Kenny, "Just tell Reggie that I'm going to get 45 tonight." Kenny delivered the message, and MJ went out and scored 43. But instead of being satisfied, Jordan was upset he missed his prediction by two points.

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.”
