Fans take their stance on the Charles Barkley-Michael Jordan feud
Michael Jordan acquired majority shares of the Charlotte Hornets in 2010 and effectively became the owner. About two years later, Charles Barkley publicly questioned MJ’s authority on ‘The Waddle & Silvy Show’. Chuck stated Jordan didn’t have the right people around him. Given that the Hornets had the worst record at 4-29, Barkley commented MJ did not do a good job.

“I think the biggest problem has been I don’t know if he has hired enough people around him who he will listen to,” said Barkley during the ESPN interview.
After Barkley poured his heart out on Tom Brady’s podcast, NBA Twitter jumped to his defense. Fans mostly felt that the Chicago Bulls were too sensitive. Let’s take a look at some of the tweets.
MJ is legendarily sensitive. Would have been interesting if he had played during the social media era.

Mike needed to straighten up. I rather have a friend like Chuck who will tell it like it is than having everyone kissing up to me.

Well Mike has the world's thinnest skin and gets offended about everything, man's pride is more fragile than tissue paper. Great ball player, absolute mess of a person

Dude MJ is so sensitive man lol he’s lucky he ain’t grow up in the social media era 😂
— Future Yonko (@Collegeekidd) November 23, 2022
Mike just got mad at the truth
— SMF (@smf_chi) November 22, 2022
He spoke the truth. He’s a terrible GM (kwame brown and Adam Morrison!) and a terrible owner. Jordan is soft and can’t take criticism.

Let's face it Mike's a bit sensitive…..which has served him well on the court but isnt he almost 60 now?
— James Barnes (@scutchame) November 22, 2022
Another example of Jordan NOT able to play in this era. He’s soft, physically, mentally. He barely made it through the media when he was playing.

that’s just cause MJ is being an L for Barkley giving him valid criticism

Barkley and Jordan had been known to be great friends during their peak in the league. The duo would often get together for an outing or a game of golf in between the games. While both had faced each other on the court several times, it never put a strain on their relationship. Wonder when the two former ‘brothers’ will resolve their issues.
