Charles Oakley is not one of the former Knicks legends that we saw at Madison Square Garden during these playoffs. And for good reason, he is still at war, particularly on the legal level, with James Dolan…
“I guess their lawyer called my lawyer and said it was a good time for me to come back to the Garden.” he explains to the Associated Press.
But since the expulsion military man of the “Oak” at Madison Square Garden in 2017, the latter wants nothing to do with the Knicks. He therefore refused to have his jersey removed. And even if he assures that he still supports the team, he repeats that he will not set foot in the room until James Dolan has apologized.
“They need to apologize first. And we can see from there. Can Dolan be brave enough to say, 'There were mistakes.' And he made one? » asks Charles Oakley. “Let him just be honest. Let him be transparent about what he put me through and how it changed his life. Because it definitely changed my life. My daughter Googled me, and what came up was my expulsion from the Garden.”
There is therefore no question for the former “enforcer” to bury the hatchet superficially.
“There is no such agreement that will hold. There will be no deal like, 'Let's make this thing go away.'
