“I think we’ll be fine,” Barkley said when asked if the relationship may still be chilly. “I tell people it’s not like we’re Prince Harry and Prince William, who hate each other. Honestly, I think we both missed each other, because we’ve had this conversation with other friends, and we’re both too stubborn to pick up the phone, to be honest with you. But I think both parties missed each other a great deal. “Listen, man, I’m not one of those guys. I ain’t trying to prove no point, or I ain’t got no animosity, one thing we both said: I got a lot of love for you, and you got a lot of love for me. Like Vince said, ‘This thing has been silly and stupid, but both of y’all are too damn stubborn to pick up the phone, and y’all need to get y’all asses together and play golf and bury this thing.’”
"We're not like Prince William and Prince Harry," Barkley continued. "We've always had a lot of love for each other, but we talked, actually, in the last 72 hours," he said. "We decided to get together and play golf as soon as basketball is over." Barkley said in February 2023 that he hadn't spoken to Jordan — who purchased the then-Charlotte Bobcats in 2006 and sold his majority stake in 2023 —in the ten years since the Chicago Bulls icon felt dissed by Barkley's criticism.
Barkley appeared on "Mad Dog Unleashed" and told Chris "Mad Dog" Russo that he and Jordan would spend time after the NBA season. “We had a conversation,” Chuck said. “We’re gonna get together and play golf as soon as basketball is over.” “We’re not like Prince William and Prince Harry. We always have a lot of love for each other. But we talked in the last 72 hours, we just decided to get together and play golf as soon as basketball is over.”
Barkley was then asked whether he’s tired of talking about the end of his friendship with Jordan. “Yes! A hundred percent. A hundred percent! Because you know what, Jimmy, they act like we Prince William and Prince Harry. Like I said, Michael got mad about something. I said we haven’t spoken and now two times a year I have to defend. … I’m like, ‘Yo, man, Michael’s doing great, Charles is doing great.’ I wish him nothing but the best. But, like, dude, we’re not like Prince Harry and Prince William. We’re not taking shots and by backdoor channels all the time, Michael’s doing great, and I’m doing great.”

Carmelo Anthony, however, breezed through his royal hookup Wednesday when hanging with William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, at a reception at St. James’s Palace. Invited to help present awards for a coaching program sponsored through a partnership between the NBA and the Royal Foundation, the Knicks forward presented the fourth-in-line to the British throne with a size 15 shoe and a Knicks jersey with Harry’s official surname, Wales, emblazoned on the back.
Dikembe Mutombo, like Yao Ming, is taller than a lot of people. One of those men is Prince Harry. In some combination of haste and ignorance, The Sun labeled Mutombo as Carmelo Anthony (of the “New York Nicks”), who is listed as six inches taller than the Prince (6’8″ vs. 6’2″) and thus does not tower over him to the same extent.
