Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan haven’t spoken to each other for ten years. Amazing when you see the beautiful relationship that the two legends had throughout their careers. But as usual, Sir Charles had the tongue a little too hung and it does not have more to his majesty. Since then everyone is sulking and everyone is staying at home.
« And i took that personally ». Obviously, Michael Jordan takes things very seriously, which confirms his famous maxim balanced in The Last Dance. In an interview for Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Charles Barkley confided that he had not cut the bib with his Majesty for ten years. A regrettable situation for the former pivot of the Suns who is clearly at the origin of the quarrel between him and his ” best friend “. Inevitably, when you walk around on TV sets to take out the sulfateuse as soon as the opportunity arises, we attract the wrath of many people and therefore of some friends of the past.
“It’s an unfortunate situation for both of us. But I had to do my job. I can’t criticize the other coaches and GMs in the League and give him a free pass because he’s my best friend. I care regarding his success. He’s stubborn and so am I. But today, I would probably tell him, “Hey, you know what I said, I believe it. I’m sorry you took it the wrong way, but let’s get past this bullshit and get back to playing golf and having fun. »

We are in March 2012, Sir Charles then speaks on the radio waves ofESPN and just swings that his buddy “doesn’t do a good job« and that he surrounded himself with the wrong people at the head of the Bobcats. It must be said that Michael Jordan has only been in place for two years and given the talent of Charlotte’s roster at the time… His Airness mightn’t do much either. But Barkley’s criticisms do not pass and Jojo still has not digested.
Ten years later, Charles Barkley reaches out to his best friend and teammate of the famous Dream Team 92, not sure all the same that the man with the 6 rings forgives him. I have to say that Jordan’s image today is the antithesis of the polemicist that his former friend can become on the set of TNT.
