Keeping up with Shaquille O’Neal is no easy feat, and none other than Charles Barkley can do it. The Inside the NBA crew’s duo’s unique perspective about basketball matches and players makes them must-watch television. But television is not the only source that helps Charles Barkley to share his views.

Recently, Charles Barkley showed up on the latest episode of “Club Shay Shay,” hosted by Shannon Sharpe. A glimpse of the podcast was then posted on the official podcast account of the team with the title “Charles Barkley part 2.” Within a few hours of posting, the podcast surfaced online, garnering the attention of millions.

In the same podcast, Charles Barkley said, “Some of the worst people I’ve ever met got the best reputations because they’re great with the press. And some people who got the worst reputation are some of the best news in the world. And I said, and it’s all dictated, if you’re nice to reporters and they got access to you, they gotta be right,” slightly hinting at the controversial relationship of Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan.

But the conversation didn’t end there as he added, “I was not a good husband. And I want to be better next time. I do. I have been, my daughter has been the best thing that ever happened to me. But the next stage of my life, I think I gotta be better. …He wasn’t at home. He wasn’t a good father. And I, I, I just need to be better. And I hope to be better next time.” But why is Charles saying this?

Controversy around Beau Marcus Jordan and ex-Scottie Pippen

Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan has never been exempted from the limelight. But this time, things are quite different as he is making headlines for his controversial relationship with Larsa Pippen. Majorly this is due to their 16-year age gap and Michael Jordan’s close association with Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen.

For those unaware, Scottie Pippen was Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls teammate, and the duo shares memories of winning various championships together. And this naturally turns people to drawing comparisons between Marcus and Scottie. Consequently, Larsa never misses an opportunity to reveal the difference between her beau Marcus and her ex-husband Scottie.

As Charles Barkley came across this news, he could not resist from participating in the controversial debate. And he found the podcast apt for sharing his views. Do you agree with Charles’ perspective? Comment down below!
