The most prominent ex-Knicks seen at the game were Latrell Sprewell and Larry Johnson, who are sitting courtside next to owner James Dolan. Sprewell, like Oakley, had a long-standing feud with the Knicks after he left the organization following the 2002-03 season.
But while Sprewell and Johnson were the most visible, there were others.
Here is the full list of ex-Knicks who have been spotted at the game on television and by Business Insider's Scott Davis and ESPN's Ian Begley, who are both at the game:
- Latrell Sprewell
- Larry Johnson
- Gerald Wilkins
- Vin Baker
- John Wallace
- Kenny Walker
- Herb Williams
- Bill Bradley
- Bernard King
Ever since the Oakley incident, the Knicks have been active in defending their position. They have released multiple statements accusing Oakley of needing some sort of help and fabricating his story, and Dolan has appeared on talk radio to defend himself and the team.
This latest move appears to be an attempt to show fans that the Knicks do embrace their former players.
Of course, the one ex-Knick who is not welcome at MSG is Oakley. However, he is well represented. Several fans have been seen wearing Oakley jerseys, including Spike Lee.
Correction: A previous version of this post listed David Lee as being one of the ex-Knicks attending the game. Of course, he was attending the game as a member of the Spurs.
