Charles Barkley recently made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show. Interestingly, Barkley shared his confidence about no one being able to guard him in a one-on-one standoff. This led the host to wonder about his thoughts on Michael Jordan guarding him. And when one would think that Barkley would take a humble approach to the answer, he appeared to be rather decisive in his answer. Barkley chuckled and said, “He’s too little… He can’t guard me in the post.” According to him, no single player could ever stop him, no matter how great. Barkley joked that he used to call Jordan “little man” during games, just to get in his head.
He recalled, “‘I’ve said it to him a thousand times. Too little, man. ‘Hey little man, you at the wrong place.’ Hey, I say, ‘Little man, you at the wrong place at the wrong time.’” Now that is a heavy claim to make, after all, it’s Jordan he is talking about. But it didn’t end there. Even after the host pointed out that Jordan is actually taller than he (by around 2 inches according to the reports), Barkley still held to his claims, “He too little, though”. When pointed out that Jordan could jump, he simply stated, “Yeah, he gonna fly, ’cause I’m going to hit his a**.”
But when the question arose, if he could guard Jordan, Barkley admitted he couldn’t guard Jordan either. Not even close. When they switched on defense, Barkley said Jordan would just laugh. Literally. “He looked at me and said, ‘Are you serious right now?’” Barkley even remembered how Jordan laughed so hard he passed the ball instead of attacking. As the feud between the two has yet to subside, Barkley’s remarks could very well stir some trouble.
This is a developing story…
