    I remember him getting Kenny Smith one time, because he was ragging on him about not winning a ring. He told Kenny in your mind " The older you get the better you where" and was telling him the only reason he had a ring was because of Hakeem.

    Do you guys remember the one during the slam dunk contest with Stevie and Cat, they couldn't connect on a lob pass and Charles said something like......they're having a hard time connecting because Cuttino doesn't usually pass in games and Cat just gave him a dirty look :D
