Auburn basketball's Charles Barkley talks relationship with Michael Jordan on '60 Minutes'

After spending three seasons at Auburn basketball, Charles Barkley entered the 1984 NBA Draft and was selected with the No. 5 overall pick. Former North Carolina standout Michael Jordan did the same, going two spots ahead of Barkley.

The two became all-stars and met in the 1993 NBA Finals when Jordan's Chicago Bulls beat Barkley's Phoenix Suns in six games.

Barkley and Jordan had a positive relationship. But that ended when Barkley, an analyst for TNT's "Inside the NBA," criticized Jordan for the way he operated as a team owner.
