Charles Barkley’s Decade-Long Feud With Michael Jordan May Have Just Escalated

It doesn’t look like Charles Barkley’s long-running feud with Michael Jordan will be ending anytime soon.

The two were once rivals on the court and close friends off of it ― but fell out after their playing days ended, and Barkley criticized Jordan’s moves as the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats (now the Hornets).

“And what I said, I think that he don’t have enough people around him that are gonna tell him, ‘No,’” Barkley said on “60 Minutes” on Sunday night. “And he got really offended, and we haven’t spoken.”

That was more than 10 years ago ― but the longtime “Inside the NBA” analyst said he was just doing his job.

“I’m gonna do my job,” he said. “Because I have zero credibility if I criticize other people in the same boat and not criticize my best friend.”

Jon Wertheim of “60 Minutes” asked Sir Charles if he ever thought of calling Jordan to clear the air.

“I got an ego too, Jon. You can’t be great at something ― that doesn’t give you a right to be a jerk,” he said.

“Do you think you’ll resolve this eventually?” Wertheim pressed.

“He got my number,” Barkley said.
