Michael Jordan ignored Charles Barkley during the NBA’s 75th-anniversary celebrations

Jordan joined the current and former greats of the game on the stage during half-time of the All-Star game. He shook hands with LeBron James, Magic Johnson, among others, but was spotted ignoring Charles Barkley. Following is the video clip of the same.

Jordan and Barkley were once very close friends, but now it appears that there’s little or no chance of their reconciliation. Jordan decided to not acknowledge the presence of his former teammate from the 92′ Dream Team. Some other stars present during the tribute were LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, among others.
