In Barkley's view, Ah Gan once had Drexler, and now he's surrounded by talented players.
Jordan has Scottie Pippen, and the other players are quite strong, but all he himself has is the aging Bernard King.
His spiritual father Moses Malone has left, and this has had a great impact on Barkley.
This summer Moncrief retired, Steve Colter left, Bogues was traded away, Bol left, and the former Eastern champions completely disintegrated.
But Pollin didn't seem very anxious; at the charity game, his attention was all on Jordan and Ah Gan, and he rather neglected his own superstar.
This made Barkley quite upset, but that's just Pollin's character. The Bullets are his team, and he sees Barkley only as one of his employees.
On the last day of the training camp, these stars will play a public game, open to the media.
Barkley found Ah Gan before the game and suddenly opened up, saying, "Sonny, I'm thinking of leaving Washington, what do you think?"
