Charles Oakley cast blame on former New York Knicks teammate, Patrick Ewing, for the Knicks failure to conquer Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the nineties. Citing Ewing’s inability to pass out of double teams, and comparing Ewing to a cheap imitation of Beyonce, the rough-and-tough rebounder didn’t mince words in talking about the Knicks legend.
Former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy, who is rumored to be a coaching candidate for New York under new team president Leon Rose, defended Ewing’s accomplishment during an interview with Chris Russo of Mad Dog Sports Radio on Sirius XM on Monday.
