Who hasn't heard of Michael Jordan, Bill Russell or Charles Barkley? They are considered to be three of the best NBA players in the history of the game. Now fans will have a chance to hear their stories as NBA TV will have three hours of their schedule allocated to these three amazing guys. Find out when you can watch the interviews as they are sure to be three entertaining hours.
Starting at 8 p.m. ET Jordan will sit down for a "One on One with Ahmad Rashaad." It will be the fourth consecutive program on NBA TV that covers Jordan's story.
Arguably the best basketball player in the planet, Jordan turned 50 years old on Sunday. Many around the league today are saying that MJ can ball harder than half the guys playing in the league today. With Jordan's competitive nature, it would be difficult not to believe it.
At 9 p.m. ET, only a man like Russell could put a brief end to all the Jordan programming as he sits with Bill Simmons in "Mr. Russell's House." It could also be called, "Mr. 11 Rings." Russell's success in the NBA isn't a mystery, even rapper Jay-Z mentioned this in "Illest Motherf****er Alive," one of the tracks from the album Watch the Throne.

Then finally at 10 p.m. ET, Barkley gets his chance to tell his story in "Sir Charles at 50." Similar to Jordan, it was also his birthday Feb. 17. People who stayed up after the NBA Slam Dunk contest on Saturday might have seen the interview already. It's Chuck telling his story in a way only Chuck can.
Between the have scored a plethora of points and won 17 championships. Unfortunately for Barkley, only Jordan and Russell won rings in this triangle of legends.
