Two of Basketball All-Time greats share birthdays that are three days apart (Jordan Feb 17th and Barkley 20th). It is pretty cool to see the two Hall of Famers share so much in common. Both players were drafted in the same class, as well as sharing many of the same accolades such as MVP’s, NBA All-Star Selections, Gold Medalist, and being named to top 50 players to ever play are just a few. Jordan and Barkley helped revolutionize NBA after the departure of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
Since their playing days Barkley can be seen on TNT with the Inside of the NBA crew and is recognized as one of the best if not the best sports television analyst in all of sports. Michael Jordan has ownership with the Charlotte Bobcats, Jordan Motorsports, and several other businesses. Both Jordan and Barkley are still endorsed by Nike and their shoes are still selling at high rate. Here are some vintage videos of M.J. and Sir Charles doing what they do best. Happy Birthday to M.J. and Chuck!
