Charles Oakley stated that Patrick Ewing didn't consistently support his teammates and was hesitant to take responsibility by addressing the media, coaches, and officials, despite his role as the team's leader and star player. Oakley also described Ewing as "high maintenance" and suggested that the team had to prioritize his satisfaction, leading to poor team chemistry.⬇️
“You got to be special to play with Patrick. You had to do so much out of the ordinary just to be on the team, and that hurt us sometimes. As a team, we’re supposed to be close and together. It wasn’t that. We had to make sure he was happy. He didn’t care if we were happy or not. That’s a sad situation, and I see why the Knicks won’t give him a job. He treated them bad – inside out. Chris Childs will tell you. He was tough to play with, but he was no problem to me because I understand. ‘Mase’ Anthony Mason had a problem with it because Mase always hollered and cussed at him.”🤔
