Oakley Critiques Green's On-Court Style
Separately, former New York Knicks power forward Charles Oakley criticized Green's on-court demeanor, suggesting that Green's physical style would not have been tolerated in the 1990s NBA era.
"All that trash-talking and fighting he be doing on the court, that wouldn't fly in the 90s.
No. No. No. No. No. He'd have been just like Barkley - somebody would've hit him in the mouth," Oakley said.
Green responded with respect for Oakley's legacy. "Uncle Oak is my guy, so there will be no slander here.
I've got the utmost respect.
Uncle Oak did it at the highest level for what he was in this league, and I respect that," Green said.
Green admitted he likely would have faced physical pushback during that era but maintained that the perspective would not alter his contemporary playing style.
