Naughty Knick Oakley invited back to Garden

NBA commissioner Adam Silver met New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley and team owner Jim Dolan on Monday in an effort to end a spectacular public feud that has gripped the league.

Oakley was tossed from the Knicks' Madison Square Garden home last Wednesday and subsequently banned from the venue by Dolan after a confrontation with security staff.

Silver appeared to have brokered a peace deal after meeting Oakley and Dolan in New York along with Michael Jordan, who took part via a conference call.
