After the latest episodes of TLD aired, Charles Barkly went on the Dan Le Batard show and called out Jordan for picking on teammates that couldn’t whoop him in a fight.
Well, you know he has selective prosecution over there, right? He knows who to pick on,” “There’s certain guys you can’t treat like that. You have to know what guys you can treat badly, and they’re gonna accept it. Screaming at guys all the time, punching guys — come on, man.
“There’s certain guys that would whoop the hell out of you if you tried doing that. He has selective prosecution. I mean, Scott Burrell and Steve Kerr. Come on, man.”
We catch up with the always outspoken Charles Barkley to get his reaction to The Last Dance and find out whether or not he and Michael Jordan can ever mend their relationship.

Charles isn’t wrong and makes a good point. Jordan was never seen bullying Dennis Rodman or Charles Oakley during his career.
