Charles Barkley is a very candid guy, even when the subject is about one of his close friends. Barkley was extremely candid when asked to evaluate Michael Jordan as an owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. Apparently Jordan took offense to Chuck saying MJ keeps yes people around him and gave Barkley the business in a phone conversation.
Those are the type of friends you need in life. And he has a valid point, no way Mike could look at his track record as an executive and team owner and not feel like there were areas where he was lacking.
