“It’s interesting,” Barkley said. “I was just chillin’ at the house last week, and one of my good friends is Vince Coleman, the great baseball player. When we answer the phone, we (jokingly) say some unkind words to each other … he says, ‘Yo, I’m down here at The Grove. I’m sick of you and MJ’s BS. He’s right here. Y’all need to talk.’ And we had a conversation, but Vince Coleman’s the person who’s responsible. We (Barkley and Jordan) talked for a couple minutes. He said, ‘Man, let’s get together and play golf. And as soon as I get a break, we’re gonna fly down there and spend a couple days playing golf.’” The Grove XXIII is Jordan’s private golf course in Jupiter, Florida.
