The ripple effect of the Knicks kicking Charles Oakley out of Madison Square Garden last week has reached Charles Barkley territory.
The TNT analyst had a few negative words to describe Draymond Green’s take on how Knicks owner James Dolan treated Oakley.
“I don’t think you ever use basketball analogies to compare to slaves,” Barkley told ESPN. “To compare guys making $20, $30 million to slaves is just asinine and stupid.”
For those who missed it, Green said Dolan’s handling of the situation with Oakley reminded him of “a slave master mentality” in his Dray Day podcast with Bay Area News Group columnist Marcus Thompson.
