Security drags Charles Oakley out of Knicks game in unreal scene ARTICLE

New York Knicks owner James Dolan has been ordered to give sworn testimony in a civil case filed by ex-NBA player Charles Oakley In the latest twist in a seven-year-long legal saga, Manhattan federal court judge Richard Sullivan ordered Dolan, 69, to sit for a deposition to give his first-hand account of how Oakley, 60, ended up hauled out of the arena in handcuffs after tussling with security guards during a game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The judge added that, “most importantly,” the Garden has “failed to convincingly show” that letting Oakley’s lawyers grill Dolan “will result in harassment or potential disruption” of the arena’s business. Dolan will be able to testify about an alleged conversation he had with a security guard moments before Oakley was removed from the building, the judge wrote.

personal observations as to Oakley’s behavior that evening and the force used to remove him,” the ruling reads.A spokesperson for MSG Sports said in a statement Wednesday that the bid to depose the billionaire is “just another example of how the legal maneuverings of Charles Oakley and his lawyers continue to waste the time and resources of everyone involved.”
