NEW YORK -- It’s past midnight and Jayson Williams is beyond furious.
Williams has been fuming in Florida for hours, angrier at the New York Knicks and owner James Dolan than he ever was when he faced them as a player for the cross-town rival New Jersey Nets.
Williams isn’t just upset that his best friend, Charles Oakley, was arrested and charged with three counts of assault following an altercation in the stands at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
What has Williams irate is the statement the Knicks put out moments after Oakley had been wrestled by Madison Square Garden security down onto the same floor where he used to collect almost as many floor burns as rebounds.
