Sports fans in New York love Charles Oakley, and after many, many years of Knicks struggles, they’re not that happy with owner James Dolan.

Guess who they’re going to side with when it comes to Wednesday’s incident in which Oakley was tossed by security during the Knicks tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers?

The response from some New Yorkers actually came during Thursday night’s Rangers game at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks’ home they share with their NHL counterparts. Fans began chanting Oakley’s name, then switched to “Free Oakley!”

What will the response be during an actual Knicks game? We’ll find out pretty soon: MSG will play host to the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. And how will Dolan respond if there’s an arena full of fans throwing their support behind the ex-Knicks forward?
