"I Miss Michael Jordan": Charles Barkley Admits to Tom Brady He'd Take Back What He Said to Get Old Friendship Back

Charles Barkley has never been the kind of person to bite his tongue. No, instead the man would likely feel more motivated to speak his mind if everyone consistently showed off just how offended they were by it.

However, it must be said that perhaps old age has made him just a little bit softer than he used to be. He is a bit more affectionate now, and far more elaborate about how he shows it.

Back-track just a few short years ago though, and suddenly Charles Barkley is a far more savage man. He did not hesitate one bit and was far brasher about all of it.

But all these years later, the man regrets something that happened between him and the great Michael Jordan. And during an appearance with Tom Brady, the man talked at length about it.

Charles Barkley regrets losing Michael Jordan’s friendship to this day

Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan were once inseparable.

In their playing days, despite being bitter rivals on the court, they were two peas in a pod off it. And that notion continued once they retired too.

However, on one occasion, Charles Barkley criticized Jordan’s Hornets on television. And from then on MJ has reportedly ghosted the man completely.

Recently, Tom Brady asked him if he had any regrets on the matter, something you can take a look at in the short YouTube clip below.

Admittedly it is a bit heartbreaking knowing the relationship they had, and where it stands now.

However, that’s life. The only thing that can be done, is hope that one day, Michael Jordan forgives Charles Barkley.

Is Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley’s beef still going strong?

As the previous clip portrayed, clearly Charles Barkley is ready to squash the beef. However, when it comes to Michael Jordan… well, just take a look at the YouTube clip below.

This is from the last season’s All-Star weekend. So, perhaps it’s fair to say that the beef is still going very strong.
