Charles Oakley’s civil suit dismissed in court, New York Knicks wish for peace

Error 0:

Former New York Knicks forward Charles Oakley lost in court, as his civil suit against James Dolan was dismissed. Is reconciliation possible?

According to both Andrew Denney and Gabriel Fonrouge of the New York Post, New York Knicks’ fan-favorite Charles Oakley’s civil lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge in Manhattan.

Reportedly, Oakley had originally sued Knicks’ owner James Dolan and MSG for defamation, assault and false imprisonment, amongst other charges.

In a written statement, Judge Richard Sullivan seemed to acknowledge the media circus surrounding this case and the growing tension between the Knicks’ fanbase and the owner of the team.
