An unreal scene began to unfold at the Madison Square Garden at the most recent New York Knicks game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
During the game, former Knicks great Charles Oakley began poking and shoving security members before he was forcibly removed from the game.

According to reports, Oakley was making comments toward MSG chairman James Dolan.
Oakley has been estranged from the Knicks organization, despite being a fan favorite. The 53-year-old has been purposefully excluded from Knicks’ 70-year anniversary celebrations.
Following the incident, Oakley was charged with three counts of assault.
