Oscar Robertson was threatened with death by the Ku Klux Klan: "They sent me a telegram"

Oscar Robertson has recounted the serious incident he had in the past when members of the Ku Klux Klan sent him a letter threatening to kill him if he played a game:

"We were going to play in the Dixie Classic. I knew nothing about the Dixie Classic. So, I received a telegram saying that if I played, they would shoot me. I gave it to the coach. Later that day, there's a knock on my door. Here's a white kid from Alabama, from some Alabama fraternity, who had to come ask for my autograph. What do you think I did? I signed it for him. I will never forget that as long as I live. To be honest, I was born in Tennessee. For starters, I never thought much about the Klan... I never thought much about the guys threatening me. I mean, it wasn't the only time I was threatened, I must tell you, but it didn't bother me. I mean, I just didn't think they would shoot me, I just didn't think they would."

Sexual assault and human trafficking complaint against New York Knicks president James Dolan dismissed

James Dolan, president of New York Knicks, was accused by a woman of allegedly pressuring her to have sexual encounters with Harvey Weinstein in 2013 and 2014. A judge has dismissed the lawsuit. "We are very pleased with the dismissal of the lawsuit, which was a malicious attempt to assert horrible allegations by a lawyer who subverts the legal system for personal gain - this happens to be the same lawyer in the Charles Oakley case," a Dolan spokesperson said in a statement to Yahoo Sports.
