NEW YORK—The Knicks’ troubles spread from the current roster and front office to one of the franchise’s legends as Charles Oakley was pulled from his seat by five security guards and arrested during Wednesday’s game. Oakley, seated directly behind Knicks owner James Dolan, with whom he has had an acrimonious relationship for years, was allegedly shouting at Dolan. He shoved one of the security members and was pulled out with Dolan standing just a few feet away — as the MSG crowd chanted “Oakley, Oakley, Oakley.”The confrontation was captured on video by ESPN and fans tweeted video from the stands. The Knicks issued a statement: “Charles Oakley came to the game tonight and behaved in a highly inappropriate and completely abusive manner. He has been ejected and is currently being arrested by the New York City Police Department.
