Polarizing Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green weighed in on the James Dolan/Charles Oakley brouhaha, saying he thinks Dolan’s attitude towards Oakley resembles “a slave master mentality”.
Oh dear.
Green made the comments on the second episode of his Dray Day podcast, located on the Uninterrupted network.
Here’s the exact quote, from ESPN’s Ian Begley.
“You doing it for me, it’s all good,” Green said on his “Dray Day” podcast on Uninterrupted. “You doing it against me…you speaking out against my organization, it’s not good anymore? That’s a slave mentality. 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.”
These are some pretty strong words from Green, who is no stranger to controversy. Bringing up slavery will definitely bring some attention to Green, for better or worse.
I wouldn’t be shocked if in the coming hours and days, Green walks his comments back amidst a furor on social media.
For those curious, Green and the Warriors will travel to Madison Square Garden to take on Dolan’s Knicks on March 5th.
