NEW ORLEANS — No wonder Draymond Green is starting to back off saying James Dolan has a “slave-master mentality.”
In ripping Charles Oakley, former NBA veteran Olden Polynice admonished Green, saying the comment was an insult to actual slaves.
“The next time Draymond wants to put his foot in his mouth, at least take the shoes that have been stepping on dog poop off first,’’ Polynice told FOX Sports Radio. “You are not in a position to make such a comment, at all. You’re not privy to anything that’s been going on. You just don’t know.
“You’re too young. And for you to throw that out there so flippant like that, it’s a disgrace and disservice to all the men, women and children, that were enslaved.”
With a wave of NBA players sticking up for Oakley, Polynice backed the remarks former NBA player Mike James of Long Island told The Post in Friday’s editions. James, in New Orleans for a Christian-athlete award, urged Oakley to change his bullying persona in retirement.
