Charles Oakley is arrested after altercation at MSG.
Hello Everybody, Wednesday Night at Madison Square Garden the New York Knicks threw another game away in the final seconds to the Los Angeles Clippers 119-115. But the Moment of the Night involved Former Knicks Power Forward Charles Oakley. Oakley Played for the Knicks from 1988-98 and he was a great player in his heyday. But on Wednesday Night he was arrested for an altercation with security after Oakley went on a Verbal Tirade with Knicks Owner James Dolan in the stands. Knicks President Phil Jackson tried to hold back Oakley but finally Security had to be brought in and it's a sad situation for the Knicks All-Around.
Oakley was charged with 3 counts of Assault and 1 count of Criminal Trespass after the Altercation. He was taken into custody after the Altercation. He was released form the Manhattan South jail and given a Desk Appearance ticket and told to show up for court at a later date. Blake Griffin Saw the incident and told Reporters that " it was crazy" And it was crazy for a moment in the stands. Carmelo Anthony said the incident was "sad" and it was very sad as well. LA Clippers Coach Doc Rivers, who played with Oakley for 2-plus seasons said after the game " We played together and he was a great guy and player. But this is sad all around for the Knicks organization and they have a lot of work to do."
Knicks President Phil Jackson weighed in by saying to reporters afterwards, " It's a sad and disappointing season for the Knicks we can't catch a break at all and I want to return the Knicks to championship Glory and so does James Dolan the Owner of the team. But we can't catch a break anyway shape or form. I'm very disappointed in the Team and we need to try to get some wins if we want to go anywhere because this is becoming a nightmare." Jackson also added this about Charles Oakley " Mr. Oakley should be ashamed of himself. He's a former player for the Knicks and he wants to act like that come on Charles Really that's not necessary."
Charles Oakley is frustrated with the Knicks but he should be ashamed of himself. Here's My take, I know Oakley has issues with Knicks Owner James Dolan 1-year ago he called Dolan a "Bad Guy"
and "a M----- F-----." He has made it clear that he doesn't like The Knicks Owner James Dolan. But Charles you can't do what you did. The Knicks did release a statement through Twitter saying " Mr. Oakley went to MSG tonight to cause Harm and Trouble tonight and it's a very disappointing situation." Hey Charles you are facing 3 counts of assault and 1count of Criminal Trespass because you couldn't control yourself. Mr. Oakley should be banned form Madison Square Garden for the rest of the season and he should be apologize to the Knicks Ownership that includes owner James Dolan and Knicks President Phil Jackson. Oakley Knows you can't push a security guard without consequences and he has to face a judge at a later date. He will probably be forced to apologize to the Knicks Organization. He might get community service but he might get banned for MSG for a while after this incident. But I will say this to Charles Oakley, I don't care if you played for the Knicks or not. You cannot shove a security guard. If I did that I would be still be sitting in jail with no bail or maybe bail set so high I couldn't make it. But o Mr. Oakley I say this in closing. Oakley needs to look at himself after what he did because nobody will forget what happened on Wednesday Night after this incident and this is not what the New York Knicks Needed or Wanted.
