'Motherfucker. Fuck You.' - MJ's Last Words To Charles Barkley 10 Years Ago And Exactly Why We Need Them To Be Best Friends Again

This is the least shocking thing ever. We knew the story of Barkley and Jordan having a falling out because Barkley criticized him over hiring yes men. Jordan obviously lost his shit as Barkley tried explaining he has to be honest no matter who. I respect that from Barkley. He always says whatever is on his mind, good or not. But now we hear him explain even more what happened. 

Jordan calling him and saying motherfucker, fuck you, is right on brand. It's also why we need them to be best friends again. Two competitive ass dudes. Chuck being one of the funniest guys out there. I want more clips of them together. I know they keep their lives pretty secret and quiet, but I assume we'd get a clip or two here and there. 

But is any of this shocking? I don't think so. Again, we knew they had a falling out. But the fact that MJ was pissed Barkley criticized him falls right in line with everything else. We saw that during The Last Dance. Part of what made/makes MJ great is he's an egomaniac. He doesn't want to be told he's doing anything wrong. Even if Chuck is right - he's hired yes men and he's been below average in terms of results as an owner - he doesn't want to hear that. 

So it's time to squash the beef. Let them fight it out. Let them scream at each other. Just get the two of them back to being best friends. I need the two of them on the golf course. I need the two of them doing an interview together. This is more important than anything with Isiah Thomas.
