This MJ-Barkley "War of Words"

[teej]

There's Barkley being jealous over not getting hired, I'm guessing. The whole not hiring friends thing:



TNT's Charles Barkley (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/People/Athletes/NBA/Charles+Barkley) says, if Michael Jordan (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/People/Athletes/NBA/Michael+Jordan) "surrounds himself with different people" and not hire cronies, he'll be fine as the Charlotte Bobcats (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/Organizations/Sports+Leagues/NBA/Charlotte+Bobcats) owner: "I don't think business and friends mix, and that is the only thing that worries me about this."


In his ESPN Sunday Convo with Stu Scott, MJ fires back at Chuck

I remember once Chuck was on The Dan Patrick Show and he said that when MJ starts using the rings as a trump card, that's when you know you're getting to him. Maybe MJ knows he can't keep Fred, Rod, Phil, or LB around for some reason? I don't want to make this more than it is, but as cocky as MJ sounded, it's almost like it was a facade.

chuck was a great player, but Jordan is a Legend

employing friends are fine as long as they can do the job, you only run into problems if you fail to realize this and are afraid to make changes. chuck was just being chuck and jordan always pokes fun at him about the rings. really think much ado about nothing

Im guessing this is going to be a non issue. It seems like MJ and Chuck always fight. They're like a old couple.

Yeah from all that I've ever seen out of the two is both of them talking s#it to each other constantly. I believe they are good friends; Its how they interact and I'm guessing they both are still on good terms.

What capacity would Chuck be successful in? I honestly can't think of a thing
