Charles Oakley was a legendary tough guy during his 19-year career in NBA and was constantly in the headlines for his antics on the court. Oakley played three years in Toronto for the Raptors from 1998 to 2001 and was the enforcer on the floor for anybody who dare mess with the golden boy Vince Carter. Oakley fulfilled a similar role during his days in Chicago while playing alongside of a young Michael Jordan.
However, Oakley has been keeping his name in the news of late for all the wrong reasons.
First there was the infamous blow up at Madison Square Garden after New York Knicks owner James Dolan requested that Oakley be physically removed from the Garden by security.
