Overview
- Charles Barkley told SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Unleashed on Friday that he and Michael Jordan spoke recently and agreed to play golf after the NBA season.
- Barkley said the contact came within the last 72 hours and joked that they are not like Prince William and Prince Harry.
- The friendship frayed in 2012 after Barkley criticized Jordan’s moves running Charlotte’s NBA team, which Barkley says prompted an angry call and years without contact.
- Jordan has not issued a public comment on the renewed contact, so current reporting relies on Barkley’s account of the conversation and plans.
- Both remain prominent around the league, with Barkley on Inside the NBA and Jordan a Hornets minority owner and NBC contributor, which could turn a simple golf round into a closely watched reunion once the playoffs wrap.
