He helped the Rockets go to the WCF He stayed to mentor Steve Francis He took less money so we could sign Pippen His anger toward the Rockets is based on Les Alexander not paying him money that he owed him. They had some deal. I talked to Barkley in Vegas.
To be honest I've been unfair to Barkley because I didn't like the things he said about the rockets the last couple of years, truth is he was spot on. Couple that with taking less money and trying that hard to win a ring in Houston, in the end he's earned my respect.
