Love Charles Oakley!! He and I attended the same high school in Cleveland (John Hay) I came a few years after him but heard all the stories and how good he was. I was a white kid going to a predominately all black school in the mid 80's and played baseball, winning a city title in 1986. I ended up getting a baseball college scholarship and it all worked out. My brothers were black and white and I wouldn't have had it any other way looking back. I was a student though of all sports and followed Oakley into the NBA. People talk about him being an enforcer etc but more than that, Charles was a guy that made it from the streets of Cleveland and was just so hungry to get to the top. Hard work ,dedication and character was what this man was and is. Would have loved to have met him. He may be surprised that a white kid back in his day was getting after it as well and that I admired him as he inspired me so much. Have to buy his book:))!! Oakley all day!!!
Growing up in the nineties Oakley as a pro player was all about guts and glory . I was a knicks fan because of this Living Legend and a game changer Charles Oakley 💫
Legend Charles Oakley! The more I see of the old games, the more I love watching Charles Oakley with the NY Knicks mostly against the Bulls. First he coached Jordan and Pippen, later the successes with the incredible Knicks. I'm sure the Knicks would have been the dominant team if it wasn't for the Bulls. Thanks to all the human highlights of the NBA from a great fan from Germany.
It's time to grow up man. How is a 60 year old man going around talking about who he like and doesn't like for? I can't look back and be mad about something that happened 25 to 30 years ago. Something is mentally wrong. As long as nobody touches my momma or killed a family member we cool.
I been saying the samething,about Oak growing up.he's very PETTY.And you're right,being 60 is TOO old for high school behavior. Grow up LITTLE BOY. LOL>
He's just jealous of Barkley. Funny he said Barkley can't say his name on TV when Barkley actually addressed it already. Barkley said Oakley doesn't like him. Barkley said he doesn't like Oakley or dislike him. He's simply someone who isn't important to him and doesn't even think about him. I don't remember Oakley going to see him after that statement. It's amazing Barkley still living rent free in his head after all these years. Dude seriously needs to grow up.
@@Native5 The question was about basketbal, it wasl not a personal question. I believe they were discussing why hasn't MJ had success as an owner as he did as a player? So Barkley went personal and replied about the ass kissing 💋 he had around him.
Jealously. He knew Barkley was 3 times the player he was and couldn't stop him without flagrant fouling which led to some of their confrontations on the court.
@@raygu1818 I completely agree. Barkley is an Olympic gold medalist, hall of famer, NBA MVP, Multiple time all star ,on the NBA's 75 greatest players list & is still relevant to this day after being retired for 24 years. Oakley's only known for being MJ's bodyguard. Let that sink in.
Oakley is definitely aging well!!! Silver and all doesn’t “age” him at all he looks like a distinguished gentleman just like Doc (Dr. J) does! Great interview….
He looks like an old man !!! LOL. He's TOO old to be trying to still be a tough-guy. Those sercurity people himmed his old behind up!!!! LOL. Then he lied about the incident in future interviews ( Oak was at fault,he verbally harassing the Knicks owner ) Instead of admitting his misdeeds like a man.
This lady is very impressive. A strong personality and presence. And Charles I view as a mixed bag. Loved him with the Bulls but thought he bought too much into being the intimidator with Riley and the Knicks. Not someone I’d call a dirty player overall, but did try and intimidate which I don’t like that unless it’s provoked and called for. Still a hard working man and someone who I think in his own heart is dedicated to being a solid individual. Congrats on his marriage and family.
I liked him more with the Bulls as well. He was tough but fun to watch with Jordan. I think that was more him being himself. He was also a better b-ball player with them focusing more on his b-ball skills then just being an enforcer. I think the Knicks would have been better if he didn’t play so obsessed with being an enforcer, but that’s probably what Riley wanted.
Tamron I loved this whole interview. He has the s&p hair but still looks and sounds youthful. I love everything he does on skid row. Unlike Shaq who throws a circus for the wealthy at 1 million a head. I love that he cooks (not for 45 though 🙄). My cousin Norm "Ookie" aka "Stormin Norman" VanLier played for the Chicago Bulls. This interview made me smile! 😊
@@HoneyHoneyBaby Stress of kids and husband.I'm guessing she took care of all things important to her and when she was truly ready, mentally, she got married.
I agree, not as aggressive. It's hard to watch. Softer play. I'm used to in the paint battles. 80's and 90's ball was the best that I can remember!! Best of years!!
I think it's very nice Oakley is a great self made man who had a successful career and found his niche doing things like Rodman. He was very good defensive guy with stopping players inside the paint good on defense and blocking shots and he would let you have it when he was with the Knicks himself Bernard Mason they were a tough team along with Patrick Euwng, Oakley is well know for playing defense for Jordan when he was with the Bulls. Had a good career in basketball, he own restaurant, has a new coaching job with Jordan's team the Bobcats has a new cooking show on fox all positive stuff but he has to go and write a book and Just like Scottie wrote a book thrives off of putting another person down ie Barkley. Oakley writes a book the enforcer and attacks Charles Barkley have not read the book but what is with ppple that they feel the need to write books and make money by attacking someone they worked with or played with for example Scottie attacked Jordan in his book and Phil Jackson talked about Coaching Kobie on his book now in the enforcer Oakely is talking about his beef with Barkley . I think a part of this is that Barkley and Jordan were close friends and Oskley was close freinds with Jordan too. I think Barkley used to dislike Oakley and to ld Jordan to get rid of Oakly and Jordan wouldn't do it..So now that Jordan is no longer freind with Barkley due to a misunderstanding Oakley wants to rub it in hes still freinds with Jordan but he also wrote a book talking against Barkley bc Scottie wrote one against Jordan, and he thinks he can make money writing negative stuff just like Scottie. I thinks hes copying the antics of Scottie by writing a revenge style scandal book how negative of him and Scottie to write these kinds of books they are trying to get paid putting others down in the long run you dont win or benefit from hurting others bc Karma will come back to get you.I wish Oakley well with the his ventures, the cooking show and his restaurant but I'm not touching his book or Scotties book. Barkley's one of my favorite players along with Magic and Larry Bird and Issiah, don't think Barkley should be attacked like this in a book just bc he was freinds with Jorfan someone should ask Oakley what is the real beef with ca Barkley is he Jealous bc Barkley was a great player scorer and rebounder is he Jealous of of Barkley career as a player and sports broadcaster and bc Barkley used to call him the help what is the real deal with this book?Oakley is in some type of Scandal stuff with this book I think.
Oakley became a millionaire but still glorifies gangsters. Jordan doesnt Curry doesnt but this guy is a lost soul and people praise him in his wrong path. He wasnt even a good player. He reminds me of wwf or wwe Junkyard Dog
David Robinson or Charles oakley, I'd go with the Robinson, ...oakley is a slow horse, who loves mj...the shit is old,...so many cooler Knicks than him
I love Oakley, such a sweet giant of a man. I remember him given my Ex husband and I a wedding present back in 87. Thanks… Oh, I can’t stand Barkley he’s the worse.
Not a fan of Charles Barkley either. He talk about players like he never did things, when I know he was one of the worst! Charles Barkley day's I didn't like the fact he spit at a child in the stands at a game. He now sit there for TNT or ESPN talking about players badly like he never did anything & he did some of the worst! Never a fan of his & he has a bad attitude like he the man.
@@debranewton669 Barkley comes across as a hypocrite when he criticizes players like Lebron, Kyrie, and others when he threw someone through a window, spat on fans, etc.
He's had way more fights than Tyson. He is not the last enforser. Decades after a broken arm from being jumped, he was again jumped by Dolans security people and thrown out of a Knicks game on TV. No broken bones but he had to have had his pride severely wounded. He should realize he should have not tried to drag Ewing into his drama with Dolan. He drove a wedge between Ewing and himself by unrealistically thinking Patrick was going to get in the middle of the public fray. 😳
WOW.If Barkley says his name on his show,Oakley 's gonna come see him??? HUH??? What a childish attitude,Oak is TOO old ( 60 ) to acting like a teenager !!! TOO old for the tough-guy routine,somebody gonna put a slug in him. LOL. Barkley can say whatever he wants on the show.That's why Oak got manhandled at the arena by 6/7 sercurity men,then arrested. Trying to maintain the tough-guy persona. I guess he hasn't learned.
Took me to memory lane. I love the 90’s. Life was simple & Joyful 🙏🏾! LORD bring back the 90’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!

I was living in NYC when Oak was with the Knicks and he was always ready for anything that came his way never backing down. Loved him as a player.
@Dan Jackson 😀😀
Too bad Oak wasnt a star that could actually help Ewing get a ring

Facts 💯
he's just too full of himself imo.
Kinda sad actually the way he's craving attention coz he was never a big star..
Because he don’t like him … so b/c your 60 you can’t like peoplev

He's promoting his book!

Beautiful brother with integrity and longevity, and he can cook too! #RealMenCook #RealMenLove
Tamron is so beautiful. I love her style
I've always admired Oakley, he had good basketball ethic & a very hard worker, kudos to the oak 👏
Had no idea this woman was 52 years old. I was guessing 35 max.
I would’ve guessed mid 40’s
Beautiful at ANY age.If she had gotten married younger she would look old now.She did good by waiting.

Once saw him curse at 2 little boys for admiring his car. SMH. Truly not a hall of famer or a role model. Jordan's caddy
You are right 💯! He consistently kisses Jordan's ass! Barkley never kissed Jordan's ass.
I love his cooking segment
Still rock my "Oakley's car wash, Bronx NY" shirt. Oak forever!
If 'Old School' was a person it would be Oak
NBA Great, is Oak even in the Top 500 all-time
I don't understand the beef with Charles Barkley. He doesn't bother anyone unless they bother him.
You must be young … Barkley spit on people
He has to promote his book
Oak is great
But he's not Chuck
On Tamron, Oak, really
Not even half the player barkley was and he only sued because he needs the money
Charles Oakley is tougher than nails and I'm sure his book The Last Enforcer is a great read. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn sounds like u hung out with him. Or u just on his jock
@@ClassicGREATS Never did both.

He gotta mention Barkley to sell books
I’m disappointed she didn’t even shake his hand no kind of welcome you drop the ball on this one TAM
Still in a pandemic. I guess they are just be safe.
He looks good
Barkley and Oakley had games where it looked like football. The officials weren’t sure what to call and what to let go.
Oakley became a millionaire but still glorifies gangsters. Jordan doesnt Curry doesnt but this guy is a lost soul and people praise him in his wrong path. He wasnt even a good player. He reminds me of wwf or wwe Junkyard Dog
Love OAK
barkley and oak are my guys.
He was only an all-star once in 19 years
He remind me of the Monster from Tales From the Hood
mans got a athletic zip up under suit coat 😆
She was peep 👀 Oaktree out strong when he stepped out.
In between beating people up he’s a pretty nice guy…lol
Tamron is a very beautiful woman
Oak stood up to Shaq. That says something.
The Oak Tree!
Anything to sell a book
You jealous huh!
It's his life!
It's called promoting.
Who writes a book & doesn't promote it? Duh
Shouldn't two players have to be close in ability for there to be a true rivalry/beef?
Ijs....
He probably would have been an even better football player.
Shorty look good
Is Tamron the new Oprah.....
one of the last hard pro´s !!!!!!!!!!!!
