Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan, two former NBA players, have reportedly reconciled after a 14-year feud over Barkley's criticism of Jordan's role as owner and head of basketball operations of the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) caused damage to their relationship. The two are set to play golf after the NBA season ends, with Barkley stating that they have had a conversation and will soon play golf together. The disagreement stemmed from Barkley's comments that Jordan had not done a good job in his role as a player.
