Michael Jordan reconciles with a former teammate
Michael Jordan reportedly reconciled with Charles Barkley after a SiriusXM radio reporter shared the update on a podcast. The clip of the reveal was shared on X with the caption:
““We’re not like Prince William and Prince Harry.”
The long feud is over. Charles Barkley tells @MadDogUnleashed that him and Michael Jordan are speaking again and they are playing golf when the NBA season ends.”
Barkley and Jordan were teammates on the 1992 Dream Team that brought the country a gold medal in the Olympics. However, Chuck later criticized the 5-time NBA MVP for his operations of the Charlotte Bobcats, in which MJ was the majority owner. Michael Jordan did not like the former Philadelphia 76ers forward’s comments and expressed his resistance. Since then, the two were reportedly not on good terms.
However, the recent update has assured that things are fine between the two now. Jordan will be hopeful to register another win in the upcoming race for his team.
