The 14-time All-Star feared nobody; both on and off the court. Recently, the Chicago Bulls legend cut ties with former player and long-time friend Charles Barkley.

Both Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley were poster boys of the NBA in the 90s. Combining for 25 All-Star appearances and 6 MVP awards, it is safe to say that the duo has etched their names in the history books.

Off the court, MJ and Chuck would catch up for golf too. However, when it rains, it pours. Last year, there was a dent in their long standing friendship. Since then, things have been murky.

Michael Jordan claims Charles Barkley was never intimidating for peculiar reason

Having been friends for two decades, things took a turn for the worse when Barkley criticized Jordan’s ownership of the Charlotte Hornets. Questioning whether ‘His Airness’ would ever be a successful owner was the perfect recipe for disaster. Following this, neither of them have interacted with one another. So much so that, they even ignored each other at the NBA’s 75th Anniversary gathering.

Now, Jordan seems to have added fuel to the fire with his latest statement. On a recent podcast, the legendary guard-forward took some nasty shots at his 59-year-old counterpart, with regard to his work ethic.

He said, “I wouldn’t worry about Barkley. I didn’t think he had the work ethic to be you know, because I think he didn’t like to practice. So I wouldn’t worry. But he was a genuine friend, don’t get me wrong.” But is he now?
