Pretty nuts that he's actually a good coach. I mean you gotta trust Riley but dude was a nobody who got to coach Lebron.

Going to duke is not easy on the knees.

Hey RJ, slow down, you move too fast! You've got to make the banter last.

Well, I've been kickin down some cobblestones

 

[Neurodeac]

Oakley has a different story about how this all went down. He said he sat down, and 4 minutes later was "asked to leave."

Not sure if he said something or was a "non-supporter" before he arrived at the Garden, but no way 8-10 guys should be surrounding him and 1 guy put his hands on Oak, from what I saw.

Like Oak said "I've been jumped before and I felt threatened."

Phil Jackson: BOO

James Dolan is worth 1.5 Billion (and growing investments): BOO as he was a few rows away and could quickly have de-escalated all this (maybe by sliding a guy a $100). Wonder if Dolan has $100 on him?

The Deacs could learn a lot from Oak.

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

what

 

[PhDeac]

Who on earth would jump Oakley? He's still one of the biggest badasses on this planet.

He is 69th in the NBA in points per 36 minutes.
125th in rebounds per 36 minutes.
Can find blocks per 36 but he is 49th in block per 48.
Currently the 34th best CENTER in PER.

He is objectively not good at basketball.

Oakley is full of shit. You are not getting jumped by security at a Knicks game in fron of 18,000 people. He was drunk and talking shit to the owner.

How do you factor in playing on a bad knee? Not getting consistent minutes due to team mismanagement?
