No shortage of weird shit went down at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, even beyond Charles Oakley's dustup with James Dolan and MSG security. That said dustup happened at all is pretty remarkable in its own right; this isn't the sort of thing that happens with other franchises, but it's extreme even by the extreme standards that apply to the Knicks. That it happened in the middle of a season during which the team's chief executive is essentially AWOL, at least when he is not sniping cryptically at his star player on Twitter, is amazing as well. The dynamics at play in the crypto-scuffle—beloved former player vs. reviled owner—add a heroic twist to the ordeal for Oakley. Also John McEnroe was there. But the coda to it all is perhaps the weirdest thing about the whole story: Charles Oakley calmly telling his side of the story in a Manhattan bar. After he was released from jail.ESPN cameras caught up to him—Frank Isola of the New York Daily News also spoke with him—and found a man who seemed about as confused about what went down as everyone else who watched this whole thing unfurl. Basically, Oakley says he was minding his own business and was asked to leave five minutes after he got to his seats, which he paid for. He felt threatened by all the security and…here we are.There is friction between Oakley and Dolan—Oak has previously called the Cablevision scion and JD and the Straight Shot frontman a "motherfucker" and a "bad guy," for instance—and Oakley, like literally everyone else in New York, has been a vocal critic of the Knicks. Isola posits that Oakley just wants to be embraced by the team. The fans love him, but the organization has kept him at an arm's length; it's New York's 70th season and the Knicks have been bringing in great players from the past, but have offered no recognition to Oakley. He's got to buy his own ticket into the Garden.Even despite all of this—the wholesale disregard, the manhandling, the organization openly spitting in his eye literally minutes after it all happened—Oakley says he will still root for the Knicks. Which is just about the most Knicks Fan thing ever.
