    Oakley had a pretty serious back injury in a nightclub fight or something a few years ago....watching the video he looks like someone who might be guzzling pain killers....Vicodin rage...that's an ugly addiction if it's the case

    Why did so many people already have their cell phones out before that? Does anyone go to games anymore to watch it live or are we walking around like human DVR's?

    Jesus, we don't have to film everything.

    Hey, I only saw him punch one person. Are shoves considered punches now? The article says he punched three people, I didn't see there punches.

    If Dolan wouldn't have called security to escort Oakley out merely becausevge was there, and have all these security guys get in his face, there would have been no altercation.

    I think the article said he punched them later, on the other side of the tunnel?

    I thought it was funny that he was trying to give his watch to someone.

    I'm really not sure why he was doing that. But one of my friends was arrested in NYC and he said that they didn't give him back ANY of his shit. He was released without his phone, any money, all of his jewelry, and his SHOES lol. So I'm thinking, Oakley was either thinking, they ain't stealing my shit, or he didn't want the cuffs to scratch his watch, or he's old school and didn't want to wear his watch whilst fighting. Idk lol.

    Btw, when he was asking for his shit back, they told him to leave, or he could get processed again.

    He left.

    This is what I kept thinking, Dolan throws a Knicks legend out of the game for no reason and Oakley is the bad guy in all this?! WTF

    No reason? What was Oakley yelling at Dolan to merit getting thrown out? Oakley's the asshole in this, even if his criticism of Dolan is 100% correct.

    There are two competing versions of events. In Oakley's, he's the victim in all of this. Here's the Knicks' version:

    I'm not going to pick sides. :bwpopcorn:

    Yeah, that was pretty funny. I wouldn't want my Rolex to get ripped either.

    Oakley bought his ticket, if Dolan didn't like being heckled by a legend he could have left. He owns every seat in that arena, I'm sure the Knicks have a skybox. Instead Dolan called security to shut him up.

    1. the man paid for his ticket
    2. he didnt say anything directly to dolan or even about him just being loud (and probably negative)
    3. they sent 15 security guards to escort him out without warning
    4. knicks tweeted after it happened "we hope he gets the help he needs" (classy...)
    5. dolan owns MSG so there is probably somewhere else he can sit
    6. He watched smiling as security escorted him out

    fuck dolan and anyone who tries stand with him against Oak in this situation or any in the future

    My mom met Oakley because they had the same rare foot problem. Same Dr. who specialized in it. It was some kind of arch problem.

    She said he was one of the nicest people she's met.

    I had to show some Youtube clips.
