The Charles Oakley-James Dolan drama at Madison Square Garden has ripped through the basketball world over the last week.
After a physical altercation with MSG security guards, Oakley — the Knicks legend and former Bulls player — was arrested and subsequently banned from MSG by Dolan, the Knicks owner.
NBA players — and others — have come out of the woodwork to support Oakley, who played for the Knicks for a decade in the '80s and '90s.
