What did Charles Oakley get so mad about at the Knicks game about?

[BuckyOne]

Only saw the end of it - took about 4 guys to drag him out and now they say he is arrested. Totally exploded on some old white guy?

[Skip Bayless]

Off his meds again?

[Harry N. Lloyd]

He's a little combustible......

[Mac4Lyfe]

The Knicks released an extremely harsh statement about the matter, saying that Oakley had been arrested and that they hoped “he gets some help soon.”

Phil Jackson trying to calm down Charles Oakley in the tunnel, surrounded by security.

A man that looked like Charles Oakley just went after Knicks owner James Dolan.

Same shit happened with Oakley at the Aria a few years ago.

[Chi_archie]

guy is pissed that phil jackson is a horrible GM and treating carmelo like trash and ruining the franchise I guess

[jtoler]

Id like to know the words exchanged, we may never know, both parties prob feel justified in their actions.

[lakerboy]

Good. Let him watch from home. Fukking bum. Biggest burn off his career was getting moved from the bulls to the Knicks.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I don't think Dolan was involved. He was chilling in his seat not even paying attention to what was going on until the skirmish, where he got up just to get out of the way.

[jjgold]

Probably blown out of proportion

[QUOTE=Mac4Lyfe;26777289]The Knicks released an extremely harsh statement about the matter, saying that Oakley had been arrested and that they hoped “he gets some help soon.]
Lol. Harsh statement? Nope. A sincere statement for someone who just committed a crime on their property.

[jjgold]

Did he throw a punch

he was trying to get to him apparently

[jjgold]

We should know more tomorrow

[BuckyOne]

All I saw was pushing and shoving. Then like a bunch of guys grabbing and pushing him. Behind the Knicks bench. Just a guess who he was yelling stuff at. Somebody from security must have told him to shut up. The get help thing smells like some kind of issue maybe alcohol or lol anger management? There might be a good "rest of the story on this"

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm a good judge of drunks and he looked like he had a few.

The Knicks are a hot mess. He played for them many years ago and still carrying a grudge? Damn.

[BuckyOne]

Good clip of it at ESPN now. And a little write up - at that point it looks like a lot of guys with suits in his face - but I cannot see that any punches were thrown?

[The Giant]

He looked like Andre the Giant bulldozing his way through a ring full of midgets.

The Knicks organization continues to embarrass itself.

[shadymcgrady]

Oakley was a tough dude, he was ben Wallace before ben Wallace came along

[MoneyLineDawg]

He was yelling at Dolan I think

He's fed up with the shit product year after year after year and isn't the most calm dude out there LOL

I like this kind of shit...fight fight fight

[shadymcgrady]

James dolan needs to sell or die, fast

[unde0087]

Have the racist protests started outside the arena yet?

[Philmill]

too much booze make some guys pissy.... Oakley maybe that kind of guy...

day drinker goes to Knicks game and blows up.....

[funnyb25]

Is he out of jail yet?

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Have the racist protests started outside the arena yet?

They're not far away. Just heard a couple of brotha's on ESPN (Freddy Coleman and ?) talking about how Oakley was disrespected by Dolan and his goons. Whuh? Oakley is off the rails. Last week he wanted to fight Barkley. Tonight he makes a falling down drunk ass out of himself at court side and assaults about 3 security guards.....yet he's the victim because he's escorted out. The world's gone crazy. Dolan is a terrible owner but nobody has to put up with being terrorized by an unhinged Charles Oakley.

Reasons for Charles Oakley’s outburst at James Dolan emerge

February 8, 2017
by Larry Brown



<center style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; white-space: normal;"></center>Former New York Knicks star Charles Oakley was ejected from MSG on Wednesday night and arrested after acting uncontrollably in the stands during a confrontation with security.
Reports have said that Oakley was yelling at Knicks owner James Dolan, and now there are some explanations for why he was so upset.
According to the New York Daily News’ Frank Isola, Oakley was yelling at Dolan and told to stop. He was asked to leave and was thrown out after not stopping.

Charles Oakley was said to be yelling at James Dolan and was warned to stop, according to a source. He continued and was then asked to leave

</twitterwidget>Isola reports that Oakley is upset the team has not included him in its 70th anniversary celebration.<twitterwidget class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" id="twitter-widget-1" data-tweet-id="829513498656903168" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; white-space: normal; position: static; visibility: visible; display: block; transform: rotate(0deg); max-width: 100%; width: 500px; min-width: 220px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Charles Oakley has been upset that the franchise, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary, haven't included him in any events

Charles Oakley has been critical of the Knicks and James Dolan. His punishment has been no tickets and banishment from the organization.

</twitterwidget>As Isola mentioned, the tension between Oakley and Dolan has been ongoing.
In 2012, Oakley vented that he’s cried and tried to get a job with the Knicks.
In 2015, Oakley talked about his problems with Dolan. He said Dolan ignored him at the All-Star Game, so he asked commissioner Stern to set up a meeting between them.
“I want to know what I did to be hated so bad by an owner. The dad (Charles Dolan),
I never heard him say nothing bad about me.
I asked players I played with to go talk with (James Dolan).

He said he don’t want to deal with me,” Oakley said two years ago.
It’s understandable that Oakley, who played 10 seasons for the Knicks from the late ’80s-’90s,
would be upset over his treatment by the franchise, but his maniacal outburst
is no way to handle things and certainly won’t improve his relationship with Dolan.
