PRO BASKETBALL Oakley’s arrest lowest point in falling out with Knicks NEW YORK (AP) — Charles Oakley maintains he did nothing wrong before he was surrounded by Madison Square Garden security officials. Something has happened, though, to turn him from popular player to per- sona non grata within his former franchise. Oakley Thursday blamed his strained relationship with the New York Knicks and owner James Dolan for the altercation that led to his ejec- tion and arrest from the Knicks’ 119- 115 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Oakley said during an ESPN Radio interview that he had been in his seat for just a few minutes when he was surrounded by security, denying that they approached him after he shouted at Dolan. “Now I’m four rows from this guy, so I’m going to walk in this place and just start hollering, ‘James Dolan! James Dolan!’ I mean, that’s embar- rassing, man. I did not do none of that,” Oakley said. “I didn’t know the man was sitting in front of me at first until they walked over there.” Oakley said he has been told that Dolan must be informed by security whenever he is in the arena, and that MSG staff follows him when he leaves his seat to go the bathroom. But the Knicks said he was causing trouble Wednesday even before security reached his seat. “There are dozens of security staff, employees and NYPD that wit- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS nessed Oakley’s abusive behavior,” Former New York Knicks player Charles Oakley exchanges words with a security guard during the first half of Wednesday’s game be- the team said in a statement. “It tween the New York Knicks and the L.A.
