Charles Barkley doesn’t sound optimistic about a reconciliation with Michael Jordan

Charles Barkley admits he’s still “really, really sad” about the fact that his longtime friendship with Michael Jordan deteriorated years ago

Charles Barkley is pessimistic about the fact that his longtime friendship with Michael Jordan will end with a reconciliation.


Eight years ago Barkley criticized Michael Jordan for how he was running the Charlotte Bobcats and since that date their friendship ended.


Per ESPN, "The guy was like a brother to me for, shoot, 20-something years," Barkley said on Tuesday’s Waddle and Silvy Show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago. "At least 20-something years. And I do, I feel sadness. But to me he’s still the greatest basketball player ever. I wish him nothing but the best. But, there’s nothing I can do about it, brother."


Barkley, who has been a frequent guest on the program for more than a decade, originally made his comments on the same show over eight years ago . The relationship has been broken ever since.

"The thing that bothered me the most about that whole thing, I don’t think that I said anything that bad," Barkley said. "I’m pretty sure I said, ‘As much as I love Michael, until he stops hiring them kiss-asses, and his best friends, he’s never going to be successful as a general manager.’ And I remember pretty much verbatim I said that. And the thing that really pissed me off about it later is Phil Jackson said the exact same thing."
