This video features Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley laughing it up and taking turns interviewing each other during a break from the 1996 Nike tour in Japan. I learned one thing by watching this clip: Michael Jordan was no better judge of talent in 1996 than he was in 2006. I apologize for the kung fu movie nature of the video.
Dikembe Mutombo signed with the Atlanta Hawks as a free agent in the summer of ’96. As Barkley said, “He’s a nice guy. Couldn’t score if you locked him in a phone booth all night by himself,” but he did help the Hawks go 56-26, finishing second to the Chicago Bulls in the Central division. Score one for MJ.
