@ 3:00....says since he criticized MJ's draft picking skills things aren't the same and also MJ is surrounded by 'yes men'

What friendship ?

The day before game 4 of the Bulls Suns finals with the Bulls leading the series 2-1. Michael and Charles Barkley went golfing. They played 48 holes of golf. And Michael bought Charles a $20,000 diamond earring. Johnny asked MJ, “what did you do all that for?” Michael responded, “he won’t get in my way the rest of the series, what’s $20,000 to me? Charles thinks we’re great friends. I hate that fat fuck.” Jordan dropped 55 in game 4 and Barkley never touched him once.

& we'll never hear that story on TnT. Can ya imagine Ernie bringing that up to Charles? Not in a million years would they clear that out of NY.

Kobe has a huge ego, but he is not as bad a person as MJ tbh

i heard barkley is gonna leave TnT as soon as his contract is up in 2 years for a front office job. I can't imagine the drama that can ensue if barkley goes to charlotte

Who would hire him for their front office? He openly admits that he really only watches primetime games and forms all his opinions on players from that small sample size.... hell, the "Who He Play For" segment should be enough to dissuade any team from hiring him, tbh....

i'm sure there is an owner in the nba incompetent enough to hire him if that's the case.

There's more to life than some stupid sports rings and i though you'd know that by now (as i'm guessing you're nearing 60).

Barkley is a good dude who was never afraid to speak his mind and people (including his friends) actually appreciate and respect that. I can't say the same about MJ. As players you can get away with ego and pride, but the moment you retire that is put to bed. His retirement speech alone says it all.

Barkley is a race baiting phony fuck who would never put it all out on the court because he was afraid it would never be quite enough.

He let other men like MJ use him, and walk him to the rocks. It was Barkley who gave up the 3 to Paxson, but, Media would not go there. No fucking way, not then and not every day since.

It's okay for this fuck to say he'll use the word niqqer anytime he wants and Media just lets it go. Cogs says it and if he didn't have a union he'd be hanging from a tree about now.

I'm glad he has to sit on that TnT set with that smug fuck Smith shoving it to him twice a week.

[DMC]

Mike has trust issues that likely stem from his childhood. It's not about being shunned in sports. However, just as he found it within him to pass to Paxon and to Kerr, he has to find it within him to surround himself with talent, not just friends. Otherwise they'll always be a shitty team.

Charles should not leave TNT. It will be really hard to watch if he does. I like Ernie and Kenny, but the dynamic cannot be easily reproduced. Chuck is just giving TNT time to come up with a Kobe like contract for him.

imagine the stories about dad killer that will come out after he dies. i bet he's done more horrible shit than we could ever comprehend.

Of course, it's easy to say shit for money. Done all the time. Doesn't have to be true. Its how Obama runs his presidency. Tell the lie to start with. Then wait 48 hours and tell the opposite of the lie. That's not necessarily the truth, just the other side of the lie. That way he gets the full gamut of his constituencies.

It's comprehensive. Team A makes a trade. In the first 12 hours it goes over like a fart in church. It's then amended to include other parts and that inclusion is beaten out by the local Media to calm the masses.

Team A cannot make a trade without Team B.

that i can understand. most political things are way over my head and i don't have much interest, but i know that shit happens on the daily. actually that's kind of how i always defined politics. it's all just very sophisticated backstabbing.

it's a disgrace to sit on the TNT set....none of the other all-time greats with a shred of decency would do it as part of a regular job...Shaq is such a clown he was auditioning for the gig even before he retired...Kenny needs the money I get it with him....But this was Charles' consolation prize for going ring-less...all he ever did was hold MJ's jock...once MJ pushed him to the side he went full HAM on MJ by stating that Lebron is better.....and of course he's always hated Kobe because Kobe made him look so small everytime he tried to interview Kobe...Charles wanted to lump Kobe in with all the others players but Kobe brushed him off...for example this is a conversation (between Charles and Kobe) that took place after Kobe rang in 09:

Charles: "Well you rang without Shaq go ahead and tell everyone how you're going to win it again."

Kobe: "I would never say that I respect my opponents too much, we're going to work hard for it next year as well."

Charles: Looks sideways in disgust...:lmao

why the fuck did Johnson sit on the abc set? That's even worse than the tnt set

[Reck]

TNT is alot more classy than the coons at ESPN. That's a cold hard fact.

[JMarkJohns]

An active professional athlete shouldn't be concerned with friends. You have teammates and the opposition.

Jordan punched Kerr in the face. He actually respected Kerr and trusted him to make the game-winning shot. Barkley, meanwhile, got shitfaced with Dumas, Ceballos, and Majerele almost nightly.

Jordan/Kerr 11 rings.
Barkley/Majerle/Ceballos/Dumas nary a ring amongst the lot of 'em.

Barkley needs to be liked more than anything else.

Magic has a plethora of businesses and 5 rings...he can afford to bullshit on a set...in fact there's a Six Sigma statistical possibility that you actually ate popcorn at one of his theaters...with dripping butter too

that totally goes against your original argument. "none of the other all-time greats with a shred of decency would do it as part of a regular job." And that was referring to the tnt set. abc/espn set is worse. If magic can get away with it cause he's rich (which makes no dam sense), then so should shaq and barkley. contradicting motherfucker
