Per ESPN, he was in a spat with Dolan. That would not end well for Dolan. Two Knicks I would never mess with, the Oak and the X-man.
 
Having witnessed a couple of msg fights in my life, I would guess that the guy he popped was feeling pretty courageous with Garden security surrounding Charles and said a magic word that set Charles off. Not appropriate but sometimes the right thing to do.

On reflection, lots of bad blood between Dolan and Oakley. Considering Dolan is buddies with Isaiah Thomas, on that alone I'd side with Oakley
 
Per Frank Isola
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

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.

I so miss those Knicks team. Now we get 67 to 64 halftime scores when no one gives a crap on defense.

Loved the Oak Man when he played for the Knicks but in this case he behaved terribly and was shoved guys who were just trying to do their jobs. It was definitely not a good look for the Oak Man. Patrick Ewing feels slighted by the Knicks but you does see him going berserk when he's at the Garden. PS I hate Dolan and would have loved it if Oak at least got close enough to scare the bejesus out of him.
 
Hmmm... one of the all-time toughest Knicks and a mainstay on some of the best Knicks teams ever, versus a feckless, vindictive, clueless owner that can't get out of his own way? That there folks is a no-brainer.
 
That was a dickish, amateurish press release. Half expected Spicer to come out and read it.

So inappropriate & within minutes of his ejection. I can see Dolan ordering some intern to get it out there immediately. Such a tool!
 
The last line of that press release is completely inappropriate. You have a former player who gave his all for the organization, and now you are just dragging him down because he feels the same way every other Knick fan feels. Maybe getting punched in the face is what Dolan needs to leave.
 
Terrible move by the Knicks organization and trust fund baby Dolan, only confirms the fact how out of touch they are with their fan base. Regardless if Oakley was acting inappropriately, so long as there was no physical danger to anyone you do not hash this out in public like this. If Dolan was not born into money I do not think he would be able to make much of himself. But with the Knicks looking bad with no immediate plan of rebuilding only gives SJU a better chance to shine and the NY bball fans something to root for.

If Dolan's daddy wasn't Charles Dolan, the best job he could get at the Garden would be mopping sweat off the court, with hopes some day of working a concession counter.
 
I used to curse Dolan out every time I had an issue with Cablevision.

Glad he sold Cablevision.
 
we should get him as our big man coach
Actually, this would be a great move. During his last year in college, Oakley average 24 points and 17 rebounds per game. He could teach our front line on how to defend and box out bigs.

James Dolan is incompetent, but I saw the video of the guys that approached Oak. Im skeptical of his claims.
