Michael Jordan Feud With Charles Barkley Explained as Hoops Legend Heckles Ian Poulter at Ryder Cup

The incomparable Michael Jordan, known the world over for his competitive nature, is no less competitive these days even though he hasn't played pro basketball in a decade. He apparently is feuding with long-time pal Charles Barkley over comments Barkley has made about Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats as an announcer. While Barkley explained the in's and out's of MJ's beef, His Airness is apparently taking his trash talk to the Ryder Cup, stalking Ian Poulter.

While the Ryder Cup is carrying on about fair play and sportsmanship and no selfies, Michael Jordan is basically assaulting a competitor while officials look the other way (via SB Nation):

"If you're leading, you never allow a team to get back into the game... I'm going to follow [Poulter], I don't care where the match is."

Jordan's competitive nature doesn't get softened when it comes to his friends. According to Charles Barkley Jordan hasn't forgiven him for criticizing the Bobcats. In other words, Jordan is mad at his buddy for doing his job as a basketball analyst (via Larry Brown Sports):

"I think that Michael was upset by some of the things I said about the Bobcats - which, number one, they were true. I told you earlier, I'm going to be honest, and I'm going to be fair."
