I went to MSG with Oakley at the fights and a basketball game broke out.

“I didn’t do nothing … this is bulls–t,” Oakley said in the tunnel under the seats while handcuffed and before being taken away by police.

"I didn’t do nothing". Now where have I heard that before? Anyhow he will be held to a lower standard because of his race. Just the way it works nowadays.

Oakley sounds like a real pain in the butt (from last year)

The Knicks are an embarrassment currently. Oakley is a NYC hero. Guess who wins this PR battle?

The Knicks appear to be a real mess - they're trying to drive away Carmelo Anthony, their best player, and they treat a former Knick great like this.

Apparently Oakley was heckling Knicks owner James Dolan, who has excluded Oakley from anniversary celebrations and refused to allow him in to games because Oakley has been critical of Dolan's leadership. This is shameful treatment - Oakley was the heart and muscle of the Knicks for over a decade. He had a ticket to MSG last night and was apparently asked to leave because he was saying mean things about Dolan, sitting a few rows down. Oakley over-reacted to being asked to leave, but MSG security was out of line in asking him to leave in the first place.

Just a child-man acting out in his ‘entitled’ fashion.

I’m a big Knick fan and Oakley is one of my all-time favorite players but this is all on Oakley. If an anonymous black guy had pushed security guards the way Oakley did, the guy would have been beat down. They treated Oakley with kid gloves. I hate Dolan (he has run the Knicks into the ground and he is a big cuck) but no one has the right to heckle the owner and not expect to get your butt kicked out.

The New York Knicks have become a kabuki drama run amok. Or better yet, a classical Japanese kyogen comedic play run amok....

Personal life
In 2011, Oakley filed a lawsuit against the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, alleging a group assault by five security guards employed by the casino on May 28, 2010. On July 30, 2016 Oakley married his wife Angela Reed.

Madison Square Garden arrest
On February 8, 2017, Oakley was involved in an altercation at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks faced the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. After refusing to stop yelling at James Dolan, Oakley was ejected from the arena after shoving security personnel. He was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and criminal trespassing. In a statement, the Knicks stated that Oakley “came to the game tonight and behaved in a highly inappropriate and completely abusive manner. He has been ejected and is currently being arrested by the New York City Police Department.”
