The host asked Oakley if there is bad blood between the former teammates, and Oakley responded that he doesn’t know where their relationship stands. Mason said stuff, I said stuff, Chris Childs said stuff. “There’s a lot of things people seen what happened in the Garden, and never say nothing. It look good, but if you don’t put the butter and the sugar in it, it’s not going to taste good.”Įwing and Oakley were teammates for ten seasons in New York, coming within one game of an NBA championship in 1994. So my thing is, for us, in New York, we had toughness, but he wasn’t a leader to bring those things out. I don’t think Patrick Ewing can handle adversity like Michael Jordan, LeBron, Magic. You have to do things more in basketball, score points, rebound, team leader on the floor, off the floor, adversity. Michael Jordan, being a leader, got guys to buy in. “People look into numbers, on guys averaging 20-30 points,” Oakley said. When the host, who is a Knicks fan, double downed on his question, asking why Oakley was picking on a player who averaged impressive numbers in the playoffs against the Bulls, Oakley responded by focusing on Jordan’s leadership. It is difficult to hear the first part of Oakley’s answer, but it appears he says that he wasn’t trying to say Ewing was a bad player, but he isn’t on the level of Michael Jordan. “I said what I said,” Oakley said through a poor phone connection on Barstool Radio last week. Oakley was asked if he stood behind his original comments on a recent KFC Radio show, and the rugged forward stood firm. “He’d shoot fadeaways on double-teams and that hurt us as a team.”Įwing has decided to take the high road in responding to Oakley’s comments, saying he still loves him as a teammate and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. “Patrick, at the end of the game, he’d get double-teamed,’’ Oakley told the New York Post.

The Knicks faced the Bulls with Jordan in the lineup during the playoffs five times, and came up short in each match-up. With the NBA shuddered due to the coronavirus pandemic, and everyone watching ESPN/Netflix’s The Last Dance documentary on Michale Jordan‘s Bulls teams from the nineties, one of their toughest opponents, the New York Knicks, have come back in the headlines, particularly Patrick Ewing, who his former teammate Charles Oakley has criticized for not leading the team past Jordan in the playoffs.
