What do you think - did Jordan take things too personally?

[@Im_thatguyfr]

He took it way too personally.

Jordan taking things personally???? No way

Yes

Yeah he did they used to be good friends

Fr a friend that didn't call you out in your mistakes is not a real friend

[@ND-OPS]

If my so called best freinds said something like that on TV facts or not, I will act like MJ too.

[@robotube7361]

@@ND-OPS TBH Jordan also criticized Barkley on Oprah literally saying he doesnt know how to win. So facts or not Charles did feel that but didnt go ballistic on his a.s. Jordan's ego is too big to handle an L and too fragile to hear it. Life filled with victory in the NBA has made Jordan soft in order aspects of life. If Jordan didnt berate barkley like that on oprah - I might have taken your side in this, but clearly he can dish it publicly but cant take it.

An adult would have proved him wrong, not ended a friendship over constructive criticism.

[@the1flym459]

The problem with Michael Jordan, the executive, is that his mindset is the exact same mindset as Michael Jordan, the player. Whenever he failed to win titles during his time with the Bulls, it was largely because the team around him was talented or well-constructed enough, which, from the outside looking in, seems to have given him the belief that if he's involved in something that fails, it's never his fault. When he was with the Wizards and messed everything there, he was surprised when he got fired because he felt like he didn't do anything wrong. Michael Jordan has been a terrible basketball executive for longer than he was a great basketball player, but he refuses to change how he does things now because it's the same way of doing things that made him one of the greatest athletes of all time, so when Chuck critiqued him as an owner, Jordan took ot as an attack against him as a person and as a player as well

[@marksung4193]

Extremely well said!

Failed to win titles with bulls? 🤔🤔

[@luggerphilippe8409]

The only way I agree with this is if Barkley didn't tell him this first to his face.. because at that point your not being honest with your friend either chuck! Your talking behind his back but in his face..

[@iron-farmer]

CALLED INTO THE RADIO! not what he said, how he went about it. I see it

[@shalimhasanrakhimhabibi4783]

Mj is a petty jerk, dude just loses friends as he grows old, sad to see. Both are national treasures but barkley is the dude we should look up to.

[@michaelpelzek8882]

Barkley isn't mj but he seems to be a good person. A real person, and somebody we can all strive to be like in some ways.

[@thedevilsadvocate3710]

Jordan can use some Mikt Tyson wisdom. “Sometimes I get in my head and think I’m somebody and then I’m easily offended. But when I know I’m nobody I could never be offended.”

[@tm75_88]

Tyson is much wiser than what we think

[@2003jason]

Jordan will never make up with Barkley he is built different.

[@rogerwalker2892]

In my opinion the true essence of friendship was exhibited by Charles, meaning i would much rather a blunt realist who keeps it 100% real with me 100% of the time instead of fake yes man friends who are scared to speak the truth, because they are afraid to call a spade a spade for fear of repercussions to the friendship.....but that's just me

[@patiadri1864]

yeah, but it would have been best to say it to my face instead of saying on national tv. what happened to being friends there? just my 2 cents.

[@Void7.4.14]

MJ is most definitely overly sensitive. But I'd imagine it's not just what Chuck said and that he went around saying it in the media that probably added to the severity of it. Chuck said himself he told Mike personally but that didn't cause the fallout, the later radio and TV stuff did. So I think it's slightly more complicated. Mike really does need to leave front office stuff alone though.

[@MORON_Gaming]

This is really upsetting.

[@FilthyMcNasty69]

Good friends keep it real with each other. Barkley did nothing wrong.

[@petr79]

Barkley had more issues with Pipen as they ended becoming team mates in Houston

[@timhall5382]

Wholesome is a bizarre way to describe the beginning of this friendship. Extremely bizarre.

[@kenwilson5641]

They are both at fault I think. Yes Michael Jordan took it too personal and should have known that Charles was only giving his thoughts. But Charles on the other hand should have spoke with Michael Jordan first and see what he had to say about it. Or take a different route and have in your contract that you can’t talk about Michael Jordan and his ownership capabilities

[@iron-farmer]

Called into the radio!

[@m.j2124]

There is such thing as freedom of speech my dude

[@AdamM-ud7hr]

Not to mention Barkley is an analyst, it’s his job to say stuff like that, especially when it’s true.

[@oliverblaszkowski5506]

Mj always takes it personal, especially this time, so it’s his fault

[@Silks]

Sociopaths HATE criticism: especially in front of an audience.

[@vidabela9162]

Barkley was right and is a better man, although is not easy to hear that so i kind of understand Jordan. I would prefer 1000 times to be friends with Barkley than Jordan. Basicly you would also be more kind of Jordan´s Bit** than friend.

[@user-rl6td8ee1o]

Charles Barkery was right, Michael Jordan took it personal

I LIKE MICHEAL JORDAN THE GOAT BUT SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS

[@buecomet831]

Yes it is fucked up that MJ and Barkley's friendship is now over and tbh it shouldn't been broken up, Im just glad they were friends before MJ became this shit. While MJ is my GOAT, I don't like his approaches sometimes.

[@glen7137]

I love MJ but he can't take criticism well at all.

[@liberalman8319]

The problem is Jordan spoiled brat. He is always use to getting his way. People kissing his ass and chuck told the truth and he couldn’t take it. Grow up Mike.

[@matthewscopelite5303]

Life is tougher than b-ball. It's about Jerry Krause, not Charles. That's karma, and a lesson on why not to contend with anyone, otherwise say goodbye to peace.

Sad very Sad...

[@johnpabelloren741]

You are bestfriends with someone? You better tell it to his face. Saying it out loud it public is just stupid

[@raymondhernandez]

They are both right and that’s why they need to patch things up.

[@whobitmyname]

1993: "Now it's personal... I'll see your ass on the court." 2013: "Now it's personal... I can't find a court, so your ass is dead to me." MJ at basketball >>> MJ at running a team >>> MJ at conflict resolution.

[@coopdoggdaroc2097]

No chuck was not wrong constructive criticism

[@mekhellshavers8886]

The truth hurts

[@kingunda5013]

Jordan was a total arse on & off the court.

[@grominwithrob1339]

I don't think Charles should of said that about Mike, but I also think Jordan should look at the situation truthfully. Get mad at a friend telling the truth doesn't change the truth. It could of been said behind closed doors though. I see both sides. I think the public wants to see it resolved because when you see two of your idols with something great throw it away over something petty, it hurt them but it also hurts the fans. As a stupid huge fan of both of them, you share in their triumphs but you suffer in their hardships. 😢

[@depo_ynx]

I mean I can’t blame MJ and either Charles,MJ was thinking this:”you my best fucking close friend and even you saying that in this hard times,nah bro I’m done with ya”.When whole world against you,it’s hard to control yourself and you can even say bye to your best friend from you world because of this emotions you having especially when you team had only 7 W.

I love MJ playing but love Barkley playing too AND personality

[@ND-OPS]

Jordan for me actually is great friend to had, he only had few but the one he called friends are real and he treats them like a family, for barkley to say that live on TV hurts MJ. yeah Jordan is sensitive and act like a child but at the end of the day barkley is the one who hurt MJ's feelings and he's the one that should be apologizing. Men it sad coz they're getting old :(

Let’s be clear here MJ & CB are not talking about this crap….. why y it s everyone else talking about this here made up beef.

[@coreydorsey4121]

I just heard Barkley talking about it in a few interviews recently, though they directly asked him about. He didn't just bring it up on his own. And I think part of the reason it's getting brought up more recently is because a lot of NBA guys have been publicly ending beefs recently. KG and Pierce made up with Ray Allen. Isiah made up with Magic. Jalen made up with Webber. Shaq and Kobe made up. KD and Draymond made up. Even saw that Malone and Isiah made up about Karl giving him an elbow that left him leaving covered in blood and getting 40 stitches. The only guys still out here still ckearly holding onto grudges seem to be MJ and Scottie.

[@MrDrew2121]

@@coreydorsey4121 it’s all media made and media generated material. Mike and Charles are in a good space and do not need worldwide oversight on their so called relationship or lack of one.

[@DanialFiasco]

I agree with barkley mj while being the goat was a terrible owner that being said i disagree with talking about it on live tv calling ur friend who has 1 of the biggest brands in the world a terrible owner.. I get it he was just doing his job and speaking his mind i respect that but again u r speaking on ur friend who has a billion dollar brand attached literally to his name.. Its easy for us normal people to call mike petty and in most instancea we'd be right but its hard to make any sort of judgement on some1 who's brand is an empire that could be rocked hard due to any bad press.. And imagine that bad press coming from some1 who u thought was a close friend.. MJ already petty we know this that comment by chuck must have cut him deep 1 might assume..
