NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Charles Oakley on Thursday compared Knicks owner James Dolan to Donald Sterling, the former Clippers owner who was recorded in 2014 making racist comments.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the ex-Knick said he anticipates more people will come forward to voice concerns about Dolan.
“This is a big thing,” Oakley said.
When asked specifically if he believed Dolan is a racist, Oakley said: “He’s on the level.”
Oakley was forcibly removed from Madison Square Garden last week, charged by police with assaulting security staff and later banned from the arena.
