Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said New York Knicks owner James Dolan operates with a "slave master mentality" by taking issue with Charles Oakley's criticisms after the organization benefited from his contributions as a player.

"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."

Oakley was ejected from Madison Square Garden and arrested after an altercation with arena security on Feb. 8. The Knicks say Oakley was ejected after being verbally abusive to security; Oakley, who was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault for his physical confrontation with security, denies the Knicks' version of events.

Dolan banned Oakley indefinitely from the arena two days after the incident, but he lifted the ban earlier on Tuesday after meeting with Oakley and commissioner Adam Silver, with Michael Jordan joining by conference call.

Oakley told ESPN later Tuesday that he's still upset over Dolan's public claim that he has a drinking problem and that he wouldn't accept the Knicks' invitation to a future home game.

Green and others have criticized Dolan, who took over as owner of the Knicks after Oakley was traded from New York, for suggesting that Oakley has a drinking problem.

"That's not something that you say to the world. That's not classy at all," Green said on his podcast. "It's not OK for you to go say to the world as a multibillion-dollar organization. How can you even pin that on someone? Just throw that out there. That's grimy. I think that

As a white man, I can't digest Draymonds comment. Culturally I celebrate Passover, the jewish celebration of freedom from slavery. I was raised with the awareness, but only as an adult and in a more permissive society have we begun to depict with some accuracy the true horrors that was slavery on this continent.

I find Draymonds comment uncomfortable for me for many reasons. He is missing a few things. First and foremost that Dolan is a dick and his arsewholeness is beyond racial lines. I don't know of many issues regarding him having promoted racial agendas.

Draymond has anger issues on the court, has had some problems off. Nothing terrible. He is a pro player who makes a nice wage and with that comes scrutiny when that wage is earned as an entertainer/Athlete. If he finds that unacceptable I might suggest he find another way to earn a living.

I'm as far away from being a Dolan fan as any of you and as much of a fan of what Oakley did for us when he was playing as any of you but the way this thing has gone totally against the Knicks and Dolan and Oakley is probably sitting back smiling is just crazy to me. Dolan has NEVER EVER shown anything at all to say he has a lick of racism in him.

Oak was an enforcer for the Knicks and was celebrated by everyone within the organization for doing so. He was aggressive then. But now that's not okay.

Similarly, Dolan may or may not be racist - who cares - but clearly everything he did had racial overtones to it. He was scared of the angry, aggressive black man and relied on that stereotype to paint him with the substance abusing black guy stereotype. Dolan used stereotypes in the media. Then he surrounds himself with black former players to show off all his black friends.
