“I am aware that he wants to join us for an 18-hole game of golf at the barbecue. However, we will no longer be inviting him. He’s not in.”

Charles Oakley, a former NBA player for the New York Knicks, is still loathed by his old opponent Charles Barkley. Both when Barkley was in the NBA and after he left, Oakley had no affection for him.

He doesn’t like Barkley’s demeanor, and in his book “The Last Enforcer,” published in 2022, he says so.Oakley’s criticism of Barkley’s incapacity to uphold his connections with both current and former NBA players is one of his primary actions.

He is no longer close to Michael. I’m not sure who he’s truly comfortable with right now. I’m aware that he wants to join us for an 18-hole game of golf at the barbecue. However, we will no longer be inviting him. He’s gone,” Oakley declared. “You go stand in the corner with one leg up in the air and act up. That’s Charles, by himself, in the playground corner.

During a meeting with other NBA players, Oakley once gave Barkley a smack for a remark Barkley had made about the Knicks that he didn’t like.

He was merely speaking and appearing in the media, much like he does on TNT these days. I was struck by something he said regarding the Knicks. You are not going to bring up the team that I represent and that I am with, even though we are not winning anything. I refuse to accept that,” Oakley uttered. Barkley continued talking, so I told him to stop talking and that I would visit him directly the following time. I also had something to give him.

Barkley has had a more successful career than Oakley since their retirement, despite all of that.
