My Man Took Fifty Shots!!!

The Internet is letting me down this morning. I have this distinct memory of Charles Barkley during a locker room interview. He's reading a newspaper and going over Michael Jordan's stats from a previous game. Barkley interrupts the reporter asking him questions and says something like, "He took fifty shots! ... Fifty shots! I could score sixty if I took fifty shots. ... Fifty shots!" Chuck must have been speaking about Jordan's sixty-four point game against the Magic on January 16th, 1993.


Unfortunately, I cannot find any video or even mention of Barkley's line anywhere on the web. Maybe I'm imagining it, but the recollection is pretty clear.

This elusive/imagined scene popped into my head after reading about Jack Taylor's performance for Grinnell College last night.  He took 108 shots!!! He took seventy-one three pointers!!!

I really need to have that Charles Barkley footage now.  If anybody knows where I can find it, please send it along.
