Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley were good friends until Barkely’s was critical of the Charlotte Bobcats.
In a interview with Graham Bensinger of Yahoo, Barkley was asked about his relationship with Barkley.
“Michael has always been like a brother to me,” Barkley said. “He’s been a great mentor to me in the business world and he’s been a great friend.”
“I think that Michael was upset by some of the things I said about the Bobcats – which, number one, they were true. I told you earlier, I’m going to be honest, and I’m going to be fair,” said Barkley.
“First of all, he’s doing a much better job. But a couple years ago, I want to say three years ago, when they were vying for the worst record in NBA history, Michael had not done a good job. He took it personally.”
