Charles Oakley still wants to be the center of attention.

Over a month since he was kicked out of Madison Square Garden during a Knicks game, Oakley is still talking about the incident and is now taking a shot at Patrick Ewing for not reaching out to him.

Oakley told TMZ he’s upset he never got a phone call from Ewing after what went down.

“I’m hurting because he didn’t call in and show love because I had his back for 10 years,” Oakley said.

Michael Jordan was one of the players to step in and help Oakley out when the feud was at its highest. Jordan along with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver were able to defuse to situation with Knicks owner James Dolan, but Oakley would’ve like to hear from Ewing.






“You should have been the first one who said something about what happened in The Garden. Should have been the first one,” Oakley proclaimed.

Oakley was arrested in February after getting into an argument with security near Dolan. The former Knick was removed from the arena, handcuffed and arrested.

Both Dolan and Oakley took shots at one another after the incident until the situation was able to be smoothed over.
