Happy 41st to the most dominant big of my lifetime

9 years the junior of the jovial Sir Charles, and the racist MJ, Kobe's former pimp Shaquille O'Neil turned 41 today.  In his prime, some of which is depicted in the video below, he was the most athletic and dominant big in the game.  He averaged close to 30, 14 and 3 blocks and won 4 Larry O'Brien's.  Sources close to the club report that his most impressive feat during his playing days was piping Kobe's wife.               

Biggest Story of 2013 from the BBVA RIsing Stars Game

The Time: Halftime of the Rising Stars Game with Shaquille O'Neal, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley

The Getdown: Charles Barkley is asked by Erine Johnson what its like to play against The Mailman in the All Star game (this after Sir Charles is shown being stuffed by Malone in an All Star game of past).  Charles goes off on his typical "let me tell you something" rant telling a story of how his Mom is like Malone's mom and vice versa (same thing he told Shaq on Thursday night).  Malone starts telling a story of how Barkley is a neat freak and keeps a lot of Vaseline around for his lips.  Charles smiles and starts laughing in gentle embarrassment.  Malone then drops a tractor-trailer size bomb on us and says Barkley used to keep Vaseline in his NAVAL during games.  HIS NAVAL.  Can't make this shit up.  Sir Charles had the same admitting, gentle embarrassment he had during the first revelation and that is reason enough for da club to confirm it's 100% legitimacy.  Sir Charles Barkley, the Round Mound of Rebound, used to find it so necessary to grease his lips during games that he stowed Vaseline in his belly button.  

As Benny the Jet said, one of the best nights in NBA history.

Throwback Thursday with Chuck

Since social media loves throwback Thursday, I'm going to start loving throwback Thursday, too.  Below is a video from 2008 of Ernie clownin' on Chuck.  What a joker!

Michael Jordan Was A Racist

Sir Charles recently sat down with WIP in Philly. As everyone should be aware, Chuck has some of the most hilarious stories of all time. This time, he discussed Michael Jordan's thoughts on NBA defense:

"I gotta tell you this funny Michael Jordan story," Barkley starts off. "We're playing the Bulls for the championship and we come out of a timeout. Micheal's BS'ing and BS'ing, I don't even know what he's talking about. He's like, 'Man, this is bull. This is bull!'"

"Man, you guys got a white guy guarding me!"

"I said, 'dude what are you talking about,'" Barkley said.

"It's disrespectful," Jordan apparently responded.

Maybe there was some meaning behind that mustache after all.
