Some people are saying that the reason he got kicked out was that he is just banned from the Garden. That's the only justification for the Knicks to look the way they did.
But they have not said that in their 'statements.' Does anyone know if prior to that game he was banned or no? Also surprised John McEnroe hasn't given his version.
Says it's not necessarily a life time ban
Marcus Camby!
You have a pair of titles in the 70's and the 90's teams to fall back on. Granted the latter did not produce a title, but they came damn close and provided an entire generation of Knicks fans with positive memories.
If Ewing was the best player of that era, Oakley was the toughest and may very well be the most beloved. I hope this blows up in Dolan's face and I hope Knicks fans are loud in support of Oakley tonight.
What a total joke this franchise has become.
By having an immature a-hole as the head of the organization, that's how.
Dolan said that is on us. Kayyy asked if the Security Chief firing played a part. Dolan said it was the last straw. They had issues before and it was time for him to go.

say what you will about him, but he doesn't care what we think.
If he didn't care he wouldn't be on the fuckin Kay show right now explaining himself.
From a fan perspective.
What a twisted individual.
Mr Bierman
You are a sad person. Why would anybody write such a hateful letter. I am.just guessing but ill bet your life is a mess and you are a hateful mess. What have you done that anyone would consider positive or nice. I am betting nothing. In fact ill bet you are negative force in everyone who comes in contact with you. You most likely have made your family miserable. Alcoholic maybe. I just celebrated my 21 year anniversary of sobriety. You should try it. Maybe it will help you become a person that folks would like to have around. In the mean while start rooting.for the Nets because the Knicks dont want you.

Buffoon.
He basically said he gave the fans/media what they wanted so don't come crying to him now. Just incredible stuff. He laid everything on Phil and the fans.
Have they stopped selling beer at the Garden? The World's Most Boring, Dry Arena?
- Claims Oakley showed up with an agenda (all but said he was drunk with a drinking problem)
- Security should have stopped him before he got to his seats
-noted that Oakley is extremely famous so security is going to notice him
YET they go to Oakley and ask to see his tickets?

question about whether or not Dolan considered Phil's lack of front office experience when they hired him. Dolan basically admitted he didn't.

I think it is entirely possible that he thinks this is true. That his interactions are limited to those fans who deride rebuilds and just "want to watch a good game". I suspect that these are the people with seats near him.

and that's why Oak had to go.

He's full of shit. I used to be a season ticket holder and have heard sort of vulgar expressions. But I guess I was never near Dolan so I'm not sure if it cursing and drinking too much is not allowed.
He fucked his wife?
I was shocked. What a strange interview. Dolan is weird.
I'm of course joking but I actually doubt the Knicks would do much worse. That's how bad the Knicks are at this point.

You're not far off. That scenario is exactly what happened with Checketts. Sather wouldn't be a bad choice but he is too camera shy for the job.
- Ask Phil about the state of the Knicks. It's his and the fans fault that the team stinks.
- Doesn't think the Knicks are good.

Painful to believe that my last image of Oak at MSG is him dragged out of the arena. Is this how we remember our Legends? #NoBan
Went I sat in the 400 sections, those were very rowdy. I remember one Wall Street guy would come in smelling of booze and cursing at the opposing team even before the anthem.
When I went down to the 300 section it was less rowdy but there was plenty of cursing. Even fathers with their kids and wives there.
The only guy I remember getting escorted out of MSG was a guy who was blackout and pissed on himself. And that time a fight broke out. But they were back for the next game.
now it is loud for the wrong reasons..
it is just going to get worse to because no one is going to have patience for the draft picks coming in to pan out

I can't stand Dolan. What a prick.
In fairness, fans on a message board generally are going to be hypercritical "crazy" fans. I suspect most Knicks fans are less critical than those on BBI etc. + I think it's fair to critique ANY player within the context of remembering age, development etc. I think 99% of the criticism for KP on BBI has been more than fair (defensive lapses in particular).
Fans: I hate you!
Jimmy: Fuck you too. Oh by the way. Phil gave Melo that NTC when he chose to re-signed him. Take that! And your guy Oak is a drunk. I know about drunks and he's one!
To think - that guy grew up surrounded by enough money to get the best schooling on the planet, and he sounds like he just rolled out of bed in a trailer park with a can of Bud stuck to his forehead.
