As the legal battle continues to play out, both sides are steadfast in their positions, each confident that the truth - as they see it - will ultimately prevail in court. As fans and onlookers await the next chapter in this legal slam dunk, the saga of Charles Oakley and the New York Knicks adds another layer of intrigue to the storied history of the team and its colorful cast of characters.
