Ah, the story no Knicks fan ever wanted to write might finally be coming to an end. We hope.

All-time franchise great Charles Oakley finally settled in court on charges stemming from the now infamous Feb. 8 incident, when the longtime power forward was forcibly ejected from MSG following a confrontation with security during a nationally-televised Knicks game (in hindsight, of course it was nationally-televised). The Knicks pressed charges (of course), which led Oak to a New York court room on Friday morning.

On Friday, Assistant District Attorney Ryan Lipes offered Oakley a deal -- an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal -- that will lead to the charges being dropped if he stays out of trouble for six months and complies with a condition that prohibits Oakley from trespassing at Madison Square Garden for one year.
