John Salley on Why Michael Jordan Hasn't Spoken to Charles Barkley for 10 Years (Part 15)

--------
In this clip, John Salley shared his thoughts on Charles Barkley not talking to Michael Jordan in 10 years, and Vlad pointed out that Barkley addressed his comments about Jordan being a team owner. John explained that he interviewed Barkley at an event last year, where they addressed the situation, and Barkley admitted that he made a mistake by going at his friend on television. This led to a conversation about other celebrity friends falling out, including Talib Kweli and Kanye West. John then stated that Barkley should’ve had a private conversation with Jordan before giving his personal opinion on live TV. When Vlad spoke about Allen Iverson saying he hated the Pistons because of Jordan’s Bulls rivalry, John revealed that he thinks LeBron grew up with the same feelings due to their interactions over the years. To hear more, including John revealing that he’s still in touch with his “Bad Boys” teammates, hit the above clip.

I'm a huge MJ fan but Chuck did nothing wrong and the only thing I see is MJ got a taste of his own medicine. MJ told Scottie not to go to Houston because Charles lacked work ethic and when he was on the Oprah Winfrey show he said Chuck didn't have what it took to be a winner. But when Charles said MJ was doing a terrible job as the Hornets owner, which was true, it was a problem. Chuck was just doing his job by making an honest assessment.

People need to stop feeding Jordans ego and hubris. Charles wasn't wrong, he talks basketball for a living.

The Last Dance showed Mike is in his feelings. If Barkley is making legitimate criticisms and not spilling secrets what’s the problem? If your “friend” doesn’t allow you to speak truth to them: THEY ARE NOT YOUR REAL FRIEND

[dbsti]

Chuck is the friend Jordan should keep around. That friend might piss you off or offend you, but sometimes we all need the cold hard truth to improve ourselves.

[lionellogginll]

Let's be honest at that point in time Charles was correct and doing his job. I don't want a friend that I can't be honest with or that won't be honest with me.

Sometimes friendships like relationships run its course

[juicex]

Barkley was just doing his job. Barkley is great cause he’s honest and not always a fan boy like other athletes.

[delonsmith]

Charles was doing his job, unless he said something that was revealed in a private conversation, MJ should respect him doing his job.

[mraimsplez]

F that! Everybody says they want the truth until it's about them. Then they get pissy.

[jimmyconway]

Michael is the rare human being above criticism in most people’s eyes.

[klev]

MJ pretty much proved the point Chuck was trying to make.

[bigtastyforlife]

Charles Barkley has been proven correct, Michael's team has had miminal success.

[TomTom-uxfx]

Once I heard Sally’s take … I was out before Vlad made it about himself😂

[therichardgravesgroup]

Jordan is being petty, because what he said was true and good advice that Jordan should have taken.

[dariusjones]

You can salley is a yes man. Jordan got sensitive over criticism that was legit

[krogersucks]

Jordan used to having yes men around him. When Charles spoke the truth Mikey boy couldn't handle it.

[deelewis]

Michael probably didn't view Charles the way Charles views Mike

[Tms]

Im a mike fan but charles job is to commentate and tell it like it is he did nothing wrong plus on oprah jordan went at him by telling him in front of the world he never won anything so how can jordan be sensitive all of a sudden especially with all the stories thats out there about his personality..
