The Chicago Bulls legend has had some legendary feuds in his career. However, those became a thing of the past after his retirement. Recently, an old beef from the past between Barkley and Pippen was brought to the limelight by an ex-NFL star, Marcellus Wiley. Wiley is also a close friend of MJ and brought in the Barkley-Jordan-Pippen trinity into question while shedding light on the age-old beef between the two legends.

While the exact reason is only known to those two individuals, there have been several instances where comments have been made from both sides. The two enemies of MJ have an ongoing beef between them as well. Wiley detailed that it all started when Barkley took a hefty pay cut to bring Pippen into his Houston Rockets team. However, Pippen decided to move out after just one season and that didn’t sit well with the Round Mound of Rebound. In fact, Barkley demanded an apology from Pippen for the same, which he brutally refused. Pippen had said, “I wouldn’t give Charles Barkley an apology at gunpoint.”

Marcellus Wiley is an ex-NFL athlete who also considers himself a good friend of MJ. The two once had a Beyblade contest in his house, where Wiley was declared the winner.
