Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley were among the best NBA players during the 90s. While they may not be the best of friends right now, they shared a close friendship during their playing career. In fact, the two went golfing on one occasion during the NBA Finals, when they faced each other. Such was their bond.
But now it appears that they are not on good terms. They have been engaged in a decade-long feud.
Recently, both Barkley and Jordan were part of the NBA’s 75th-anniversary celebrations that took place during the All-Star game on Sunday.
