"Michael must be crazy to say something like that."
"No, Michael isn't crazy, that's confidence."

Before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals started, Charles Barkley and Gan Guoyang were chatting on the court, commenting on Jordan's statement yesterday about "considering the Finals opponent."
The two were both friends of Jordan, and they both yearned to face Jordan in the Finals. It would be a spectacular event, a clash of the 1984 prodigies, a showdown between a generation of superstars.
Although everyone was looking forward to Jordan vs. Gan, Charles Barkley was eager to take that spot. He had already collided with Gan in the Finals once, and this time it should be Jordan's turn.
