Barkley: 'There's no way I could play' July 8, 2001 STATELINE, Nev. (AP) -- Hold those thoughts on a comeback for Charles Barkley. He's simply not ready to take on NBA players again. ``I don't think I could play well,'' he said. ``Right now I'm just working out to get in shape. ... There is no way I could play.'' Barkley was asked by NBC's Jim Gray during Saturday's coverage of the Celebrity Golf Championship if he was abandoning his comeback plans. ``I'm leaning heavily towards that,'' he said. The 38-year-old Barkley retired after the 1999-00 season after rupturing a knee tendon. In the last few months he has floated the possibility of a joint comeback with Michael Jordan, now president of the Washington Wizards. Jordan cracked two ribs during a basketball workout in June and has not disclosed his plans for next season. Barkley is not eager to see his friend back on the court. ``I hope he doesn't,'' he said. ``If he wants to come back I'll support him. Michael's his own man.'' ------------------ join the club!
