Sounds to me like another entitled prick, who thinks he's above being courteous and decent to people, just because he's famous.
Dolan has run this team into the ground, most of us agree on that. But how is Oaks behavior on him?
Making excuses for him isn't going to help...
Dolan is the most cowardly motherfucker.
"Ask Phil" about basketball.
He calls Oak an alcoholic, while in actuality Dolan is the recovering alcoholic.
Pathetic.

I think he was referring to the garden as an organization. He mentioned that they used to reach out to him often to invite him to games and such. It was probably one of the MSG reps and not Dolan himself.
Right, but you would imagine if he has been invited to games and garden functions for the last 17 years that he never met Dolan??

Oh agreed. They must have had a soured relationship that goes back a long way.

You are aware the Garden could be lying to protect their reputation here?
I'm guessing Oak will be suing them for libel.

But Oakley's gripe is that he isn't involved in this stuff..He constantly says he feels like an outsider..
One thing though...Dolan paints a picture that all former players love the Knick organization and are welcomed and get along fine with the organization..That's not true at all...

Yeah but Dolan's saying that Oakley has been doing stuff like this since he'd left the Knicks. I don't know which is true but this most recent incident seems to paint Oak as a bit of a problem.

Yeah it's so crazy that the owner of a team wants to watch his team play without a monster threatening him at games...lol
One crazy thing is that Dolan was asked if he would comment on the job Phil is doing and he says that is something he would do privately with Phil and not something done in the media..Completely opposite of Phil's actions...

Isn't that crazy though?? It really blows my mind that grown people can still think Oak wasn't wrong with that whole fiasco that happened.

I'm guessing Oak will be suing them for libel.
Hahaha wake up man. there's testimony from everyone that works from the front door to the elevators to the seating people to the security and they're all saying that Oak was acting angry or some type of way.

Wow you really named some legit ex Knicks there...lol. Most of the guys you named aren't even most known as Knicks. You're reaching for stuff man which you do quite a bit cause you love hating on everything Knicks.
Oakley disrespected the boss one time to many.

And you do know that its possible Oakley was being belligerent... it is an odd situation but if you only believe Dolan had him removed because Oakley said something he didn't like then I feel sorry for you.
Dolan said he didn't think the episode was an embarrassment for the Knicks...

No one in the league believes the Knicks portrayal. Look around at the national coverage. Dolan played himself.
No one else buys this crap.
This is like a Spicer press conference about crowd sizes and y'all lapping it up. Try reading a report that didn't come out of the Garden. Knicks and particularly Dolan are a league wide joke. The head of the NBPA came out and called this report trash.
