David Howard+FollowCharles Barkley says his friendship with MJ ended the night he called him a bad GM on TVCharles Barkley revealed the exact moment his relationship with Michael Jordan basically stopped. Barkley says he criticized Jordan’s front-office track record on TV, and Jordan called him that night and “went ballistic.” According to Barkley, MJ was furious: “You supposed to be my best friend and you’re going to do that bullsht?”* Barkley’s response: “I have to do my job… and you haven’t been a good GM.” This isn’t even a new beef — Barkley has talked for years about how Jordan took it personally when Barkley questioned his management approach (notably the idea that MJ surrounded himself with “yes-men”). So what do you think: If you’re Barkley, do you tell the truth on-air no matter what… or do you protect the friendship when it’s Michael Jordan? #NBA #MichaelJordan #CharlesBarkley #NBAHistory #NBADiscussion #SportsMedia7532Share
