Sir Charles is still a fan favorite after all these years, and this video makes it easy to see why.

This video, courtesy of the Cavs’ Instagram feed, had a little bit of everything. Fun with fans during a Star Wars event, Chewbacca giving the crowd the Hulk Hogan “I can’t HeEEAR YOU!” signal, and no-chill comments from followers.

Always nice when the arena proposal goes well, as it clearly did for this couple in Charlotte… and yes, again with the comments from followers.

Just some fresh and crispy Jordan 12’s via George Hill, if you need some.

The Thunder took a moment to pose for a team photo…sort of. Can’t be mad at D Fish for looking like the smooth older brother you didn’t want to bring your new girlfriend around.

Since we already shared the MJ video, we may as well throw his Omega Psi Phi fraternity brother Shaq into the mix as well.
