The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green has waded into the James Dolan-Charles Oakley feud by accusing the Knicks owner of a “slave master mentality” and triggering one of the more embarrassing chapters in team history.

James Dolan's feud with Charles Oakley: what was the Knicks owner thinking? Read more

Green spoke out on his Dray Day podcast with the Uninterrupted, and accused Dolan of being a hypocrite for trying to silence Oakley – even though Oakley’s confrontational personality was invaluable to the organization when he was a player. The power forward helped the Knicks reach the NBA finals in 1994.

“I’m pissed,” said Green. “No1, the man is a legend – treat him as such. Why is he buying a ticket to the game?

“It wasn’t a problem when he was speaking out then [as a player]. Why is it all of a sudden a problem now? That’s a slave master mentality. That’s ridiculous. It was all fine and dandy when he was laying people out, taking fines and all this stuff for your organization. But now all of a sudden when he says something that he feels, it’s a problem.”

Green also chided Dolan for a Knicks press release that insinuated Oakley had a drug or alcohol or anger issues, which Oakley has denied. The statement, which was released shortly after Oakley was ejected from the Garden last Wednesday night, read: “He [Oakley] was a great Knick and we hope he gets some help soon.”

On the podcast, Green said: “How as an organization can you come out and say: we hope you get help? That’s pretty messed up. That’s not something that you say to the world. That’s not classy at all. It’s not OK for you to go say to the world as a multibillion-dollar organization.”

In the aftermath of the altercation, Dolan banned Oakley from Madison Square Garden, but NBA commissioner Adam Silver stepped in to broker a peace deal and Dolan has since lifted the ban. Oakley, however, has said he won’t come back to MSG until he receives an apology from management.

Green was unhappy on Saturday night after a fan in Oklahoma City allegedly made a racist remark during the Thunder-Warriors game.

“That guy was disrespectful to us the entire night,” Green said after the game. “Cheer. Heckle. Heckle all you want. But don’t be disrespectful. Calling guys P-words and all this stuff: ‘Get over there, little boy.’ He was disrespectful the entire night … This ain’t the ancient times. Slave days are over.”
