Johnson has been saying this sort of thing for years. To make matters worse he is an executive with the Knicks.
quote:

During the 1999 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs, Johnson caused a stir by saying: “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”


quote:

When asked at the time why he referred to his teammates as slaves, Johnson said: “I’ve got to explain that to you? We don’t go with the mainstream.’’

Johnson was hired by the Knicks two years ago and serves many roles as a basketball and business operations representative. It’s unclear what his role will be under new team president Phil Jackson.

As a former slave herself Sheila Jackson Lee commiserates with the knickerbockers.

Even if she doesn't know what a knickerbocker is.
