I said, ‘I don’t know if Michael’s ever going to be successful because I don’t know if he can get enough strong people around him. It was painful to lose him as a friend but when I said it at the time, it was true. Whether I was right or wrong, That’s debatable

Charles Barkley might take responsibility for what happened ut it is also true that he hopes one day he can reconcile with Michael Jordan. We certainly wonder if that will ever happen.
