You are correct on this aspect of the Chuck analysis. But, Chuck spoke about the inner circle of people around jordan which he had access to as a result of being MJ's friend. The private interactions of the inner circle are off bounds because those moments Chuck would have no access to if he was not in MJ's inner circle. Those he took advantage of private conversations and used the information publically for his job. No Bueno! Behind close doors talk is not meant for his job's public audience.

Barkley need to say it's cool when they do it but it's a problem when I do it

Excellent points!

facts

Chuck did much that was wrong.

You'd be wise to learn that not every relationship has to be maintained at all costs. Charles wasn't talking basketball he was insulting his friend and the people who work for him. What the hell does Barkley know about running anything besides his mouth?

I wish people would stop defending Celebrities and thinking Celebrities gives a damn about them or anything.

@@dnice4145 Not really. He criticized him as an Owner of the Hornets. Not the biggest fan of Barkley, but he spoke FACTS!!! Jordan was just being SENSITIVE!!! No different than the Sam Smith "Incidents" when he wrote The Jordan Rules. And Salley was EXCATLY right when he mentioned Oprah. She didn't say S@@t when the Harvey Weinstein situation went down. ALL you heard was CRICKETS!!! SMH.

@@dnice4145well said…….people think it’s about Barkley not kissing up to Jordan. Barkley crossed the line when he didn’t talk to voice his opinion to Jordan as his friend prior to ridiculing him on National tv. Not a cool thing to do if he’s your friend……at least go to him first…….

@@sneakerman7647 U another MJ stan, it's hilarious how you weirdos worship this man who wouldn't even look your way if you said hello to him in an elevator.

But Charles spoke to the World about MJ.

Exactly. Just because we're friends doesn't mean I shouldn't do my job by giving objective opinions.

Bro, he criticized his friend his best friend. If we are to believe him in public about how he runs his business, friends don't do that, not any friend I would ever want. If you have problems or if you have issues with that friend on how he ran his business, then maybe you should go directly to your friend instead of running off at the mouth and public.

Gtfoh!! Many people criticized Michael Jordan, Charles tried to do it and entertain people, it was not about telling the truth. He was feeling himself. I would never want a friend like that. That's not what friends do.

@@Ekleaz facts!! Preach

You still give your friends a heads up

Yeah if yo friend went on the internet and said hey I think juice a clown for not listening to me I just bought so and so made 7x the amount you wouldn’t feel betrayed 🤔

Yall gotta stop using "doing their job" as a shield. While its obviously an extreme example, Nazis were just doing their jobs. Don't make it right.

@@ssjalpha6593 and a very bad one

@@reasedogable Absolutely!!! They were "boys" and what Barkley did was dead wrong!

I agree. It's weird

@@MarcusTheJR Very weird

In Jordan mania years he was Superman. Beyond iconic. The guy captivated the world.

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I KNOW exactly what that feels like. Sometimes people are better apart. Sad but true.

Well, in this case it's not even about that. Charles has criticized Michael Jordan in public about his ownership and if you are a true friend to somebody, you don't do that

Agree 💯👍👌😎

Jordan seems like a sensitive and petty guy.

Yes BUT when you are best friends of trust you shouldn’t blindside your true friends professionally knowing the politics, racism in that profession amongst peers and knowing how deep the backstabbing & hatred goes. Your behind closed door brothers and in front of those doors to all presented your brother as a failure. Charles was wrong and chose a side he didn’t have to. Trust is over

@@urbanchangewithin624 That's being sensitive. Mike has sucked as an owner. Charles was doing his job as an analyst. If you're not doing your job correctly you'll get called out. We always complain about favoritism until it goes our way. Do a better job Mike and nobody will have anything to talk about.

@Lionel Loggin yes, easy for you to say because you only see wins and loses. That doesn't mean everyone who's ever worked for Jordan is a "yes" man get real. Winning is hard for any franchise.

@@dnice4145 I don't think that way. I agree it is hard to win but he hasn't made the right choices as a GM or owner. The people around him were not helping the situation. It's a business not a friendship

@@lionellogginll Its not what he said. It's how he said it

So you are in Michael Jordan's circle and you know him and his friends personally?

@@rexpinselbro think he tk

@@devilishfrost4795 🤣

See. That is where Chuck went wrong. That is an emotional bias statement devoid of proof, evidence or facts. You are a Jordan hater as was Charles and Jordan recognized that. A snake in the grass is not a true friend.

@@rexpinsel this is public knowledge mj don't want anybody that won't kiss his ass around. The dude is still mad at sports illustrated all these years later for reporting on his shitty baseball career. This is the same mj that told the media of they painted him in a negative light it would be a price to pay.

Lol hahaha

No lie I fucking did the same as soon as he said him and akademiks was talking bout some shit lmaoooo

So you don't think Vlad and Ak are on the same level as MJ and Sir Charles?

bro the whole video was about Vlad too smh lol

Vlad is a complete meathead

Lol him being correct about his opinion is so irrelevant. We all can say something about our friends and be correct, but if you go all the way in on your friend on national tv you have to accept the consequence of possibly not continuing that relationship.

Bro he took shots at his friend about how his friend goes about his business and runs his team. If you are a friend of somebody, you don't say that in public, what don't you get about that? I wouldn't want to be a friend of yours if you did that

And yet 10 years later crying about Michael. So he fugged up

@fly guy so because your somebody friend. You should lie to them, the Hornets are a terrible run team.

@DraGanix they both have a history of talking about each other. GO watch Oprah. They clearly talk to each other like that. And regardless if your friend tells you your bad at your job, your fix it, and stop with the public stuff, MJ IS A PUBLIC FIGURE. stop it

If ya dawg can’t tell u when u fucking up then he not your friend g shit

He really is... and he tends to be extremely accurate from everything I've seen him speak on.

I'm pretty sure he just makes up random stories. No way does barkley say he was wrong.

Salley's comments are ALWAYS calculated and guarded, as if he is afraid to offend or betray or go out of bounds. Something Barkely does not do. Did Chuck not know he would piss off MJ?

@@icemanb4539 Oh he definitely knew... he thought about it many times before he said it and still wanted to put it out there. I'm sure they had many phone calls prior as well as golf play. You would think that's the time to say "your team is struggling because you don't have the right basketball minds working for you". He knew it would upset MJ but thought he'd get over it in time. I'm leaning towards a cheap shot at MJ... and he's trying to play innocent by saying he's always going to tell the truth.

i mean barkley himself admitted he was wrong but ok. it also sounds like lebrons career in a nutshell. ''sensitive over criticism that's legit''

Absolutely

@@meladgoat He's just being humble about the situation, Mike is in his feelings. What you want Chuck to say? Mike is my friend, im not gonna do my job?

Facts. Wallet a yes man an or he has yes man around him

@MELA-D GOAT lol what does Lebron got to do. With a terrible person like Jordan. Breaking up a friendship because your friends told the truth

Right I don’t understand how he got offended by that.

He should have said those things to Mike BEFORE putin it out for everyone else to hear. IF yall that good of friends Charles should have been told him that, bro, you doin something wrong with the team, maybe try something different.

@@rickimhotep1236 you bet your ass Chuck did say it to mj first but he didnt care.

Jordan is an asshole. I always hear bad things about him.

I disagree, just because MJ is on record saying how much he loves Chuck. Plus they spent hella time together since '84, but of course not the last 10 years.

No it's not even doubt that. But if you 'll friend takes shots at you in public about how you run your team and your organization, that's not good. You don't do that to friends. That's the problem Charles Barkley doesn't seem to get What if somebody who he considered a friend criticized him about how he does his day-to-day businesses. I can guarantee you Charles Barkley wouldn't like that a lot.

I've heard it said a few times that Jordan never had the level of friendship for Barkley as he had for Jordan. I can't remember where I heard this, but allegedly, during the 1993 NBA finals, Michael took Charles out golfing and even bought him a $20,000 earring! Jordan reportedly did that to lower Charles' level of competition. Jordan said, "what's $20,000 to me?!!? I hate that fat f**k!!

100% but Michael Jordan doesn't view any on earth to be a good close friend of his at all . Jordan said he'd never ask to meet or ever ask another human being for their autograph dead or Alive. Jordan literally thinks his shit don't stink. plus, he Divorced his strong black wife aka queen and mother to his seeds for a white/ Latina lady with becky good hair

@@gotemcoach2346 Smh what I’m the world does his divorce have to do with anything. And you got a strong opinion about a man you don’t know at all. Why is your opinion so strong about someone you don’t know? The media really controls some of you all smh.

"Honest criticism of a friend" is only done in private, if it is coming from a true friend....Not on public display for clout or brownie points..

No, Charles is only telling part of the story. His exact quote was that MJ had too many "yes men" around him. It is that quote that made MJ mad because it was insulting to his staff. Chuck wouldn't take it back, so MJ cut him off.

@@mysterion5136 interestingly Larry Brown publicly echoed the same sentiments as Charles after he was shown the door by Jordan in Charlotte.

@@lv4739 he is on tv and the topic came up. Barkley said what everyone is thinking. Charles was being objective.

@@mysterion5136 MJ literally proved Charles right by cutting him out of his life for not being a Yes Man. funny how logic works and morons dont get it.

Don't you know Jordan is gold, he never fouled, traveled, he missed a few shots but he's gold man. Lol

Fair point

Ding! 🎯🎯🎯

Who said he didn’t tho?

Nah. He doin his job.. if it's other athletes, no one complains.. but everyone expects to cater to Michael jordan.. like Michael jackson.. Michael Jordan was a terrible nba exec

He doing his job

No he's not doing his job. You don't talk bad in public about a friend you don't criticize your friend like that in public. He's done that to many, many other basketball players and they take it personal and they don't want to mess with Charles like that.

@@flyguy7825 like how Michael Jordan telling in front of the world in Oprah's show that Charles cannot win championships. Difference between Chuck and MJ, Chuck can accept criticism, Jordan can't..

@@blackpanther1773 okay, I don't remember that but that's Michael Jordan saying that right in Charles Barkley's presence and Charles didn't take it personally. I mean didn't Charles Barkley take some shots at Michael Jordan from not being able to play golf in baseball. He's done that in the past. That's not the same as criticizing a good friend of yours about how he runs his business in about how he doesn't know what he's doing that is crossing the line as far as I'm concerned. How would you like it if one of your homies and one of your good friends did that to you?

Nobody really gives a damn about Charles' honest opinion. He's wrong most of the time anyway.. We just want him to be entertaining.

How many organizations have won championships?

Of course he's not as successful as the Bulls they haven't exactly been able to get Jordan level players while he's been owner. I can't think have many obvious players they missed on drafting other Booker. Mitchell, Giannis and Jokic ended up studs but hardly had a clue they'd become anything close to what they are

Yall gotta stop using "doing their job" as a shield. While its obviously an extreme example, Nazis were just doing their jobs. Don't make it right.

@@silewis9396 Remember how Michael used to criticize Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause? They had the right people in that organization to find and develop talent. Michael was not always the GOAT. He was developed into the GOAT. It took him 7 years to get to a finals. It's not as easy as he thought it would be. Like Charles Barkley said Michael has to surround himself with the best people and not his friends. He and his friends have missed on everyone, while teams like the Pelicans find the right talent and develop them.

not true in many cases, actually

Not true.

Dude, you're missing the point. My point is is that you don't go on national television and say that in front of people that betrays not only a friend's trust but you are taking shots at a friend in public. How would you like it if one of your good homies started to say you're doing this and you're doing that wrong and your house ain't in order to the public?

@fly guy bruh. Charles was like that before MJ. Charles has been talking shit about people since he came in, but now since he talks about you. so you can laugh at everyone else, but they can't laugh at you. That's hypocrisy

Exactly he is my favorite outspoken NBA player of all time. I'm on the same way I'm going to criticize everybody.

Im glad somebody said that.mj dished alot of bullshit 2 people but cant handle when somebody criticize him.dude a sensitive lil bitch but people always afraid 2 say it.

Okay, and then you're going to lose your friends because of it. How would you like it if your homies went on television criticizing every move you may or didn't make? That's not how friends do each other bro. What don't you get about that.

@@flyguy7825 real friends tell u the truth and dont be your yes man.they been horrible and have 1 playoff victory not a series in 16yrs.he deserve all the criticism.

Think you confusing him with arsenio hall

@@jeffe9117 he had a show called best damn sports show

Real yes. But publicly, maybe not.

@@rucianapollard4057 Exactly

​@@rucianapollard4057I don't give a f about no damn Jordan. But most people are irrelevant anyways. No matter what good you do to them, they'll transform that into a negative thing.

They both pretentious

Then how about you do the friend thing and talk to him about that as a friend instead of running your damn mouth in public? That's what Charles don't get it. He thinks it's his job to overly criticize people including his friends in public and you lose a lot of respect for other people.

@fly guy but it wrks both ways Charles works in the media and part of his job is to answer basketball questions..

@@jigga115 So asking basketball questions means you got to criticize and throw your friend under the bus?

@fly guy how did he throw him under the bus by saying he was doing a bad gm job going back 2 his Washington days or sayn he had 2 get rid of the yes men around him...look im in Chicago a big Michael fan...I just think on this one he went overboard

@@flyguy7825 Same way Mike went on Oprah show and publicly bashed Chuck for his work ethic? Or when he told Pippen not to go to Rockets cause Charles doesn't work hard? FOH MJ stan... As it turns out Chuck spoke nothing but facts, Hornets probably have the least successful team in NBA history.

Clearly the two of them wernt great friends to begin with.

So you have been poisoned enough to believe that taking shots and overly criticizing a personal friend of yours on television is somehow doing your job. You got a lot to learn bro about life

@@flyguy7825 this is business. Jordan is not attempting to find the cure for brain cancer. He signs and trades players who are better at passing a basketball and putting a ball through a net. This is a kids game. And Jordan is horrible at putting together a roster that can compete. Barkley is paid to give his honest opinion on a kids game and that’s what he did.

Lepussys won't get it. Ask Lechina 🇨🇳

But, he wasn't lying. That's what people seem to ignore

Cause he was so wrong about Jordan GMing and ownership skills. All those titles Charlotte has won.

@Taquan Coleman he wasn't telling the truth either he was giving an opinion, learn the difference. Saying Jordan hired only "yes men" who were too afraid to criticize him is not a fact, going beyond that nonsensical reasoning to claiming that being the reason Jordan hadn't succeeded his first 2 years of ownership is also not a fact or the truth.

@@_gamepoint_ 🤣🤣🤣

@@dnice4145 Maybe he was hiring yes men. We don't know that for a fact. But we do know for a fact that Jordan is terrible at running a team. From the Wizards to the Bobcats/Hornets.

We're not talking about that. We're talking about Charles Barkley not having a friendship with Michael Jordan and he said it himself. Is that he criticizes his quote" friend in public.

Is excellent observation. You know your sport.

@@suprememathematics9257 How does one sugarcoat the worst win percentage in NBA history? As an analyst you can't ignore that record. Worst in history.

@@Independent365 lam little drunk to write what you say

@@Independent365 So if one of your friends went on tv and spoke on you in a none positive light without giving you a heads up you would have no issues with it at all?

I disagree with you 1000%. Barkley is an NBA analyst and his job is to critique EVERYBODY in the NBA. If Jordan can’t accept honest criticism from Barkley then they weren’t ever really friends anyway. A true friend is supposed to give you tough love when it’s necessary. Barkley wasn’t disrespecting him as a man, he was giving his honest opinion on his performance as a professional. And he was absolutely correct in his assessment. Jordan does everything from an egotistical standpoint and he got his little feelings hurt by hearing the truth and he’s not above criticism. The truth of the matter is that Jordan SUCKS as a GM. He sucked in Washington and he sucks in charlotte. He sucked so bad in Washington that Ab Poland fired him as the President/GM. Go back and look at ALL the draft picks that Jordan selected in his decades as the decision maker for both of those teams. If he wasn’t the owner of the Hornets, he would’ve been fired from there too. John Sally has been saying a lot of dumb sh¡t during the last few interview clips that have come out recently. As far as Iverson being a fanboy for Jordan, that sh¡t is corny. Jordan and iverson are contemporaries. Iverson’s friends were correct in telling him the truth about being him being fanboy. Give him the respect as a competitor but that’s it. All men meet on the level.

charlotte has been a shit organisation ever since even though they got the goat as their owner. all trades suck, all drafts suck. Ball is the first guy to be slightly promising and that's it. they paid white boy Gayward like a supermax AFTER that dude's leg broke in two like a twig. MJ is still a degenerate gambler. Look at the successful teams of the past 30 years, those werent gambling owners or gms or coaches. those were people with the ability to analyse, plan and execute.

Exactly, and Charles Oakley should be working security, you can tell he's not too bright 😆😆😆
