In 1985, the Cavaliers selected the protagonist of our article, Charles Oakley, who was 2.03 meters tall and weighed 111 kilograms, and of Oakley's 111 kilograms, not much was fat, the solid muscle mass was Oakley's armor, and the fierce ball style was his characteristic. As a forward player, Oakley on the inside like an untamed beast, his movements are very large, his elbows fly up and down, he is using small movements to harass each other every moment, his arms are on the opponent's waist, elbows are on the opponent's chest, he stands the inside line, and the other side has a fierce collision, competing for space under the basket, Oakley is so tough, let him gain a lot, He can grab 8.9 rebounds per game, grab ten rebounds in a night, can guarantee rebounds is the reason why he can play, strong and effective defense is the reason why he can be the team's starting point.
Oakley is not tall, there is no height advantage in grabbing rebounds on the inside, but Oak uses his mental attributes to make up for his height disadvantage, while using his rebounding ability and defensive ability to make himself in the NBA for 19 years, leaving his own story in the jianghu.
After being drafted by the Cavaliers, Oakley was sent to the Bulls and became teammates with Jordan, who entered the league in '84. At this time, Jordan has played a famous role in the league, many teams in order to prevent Jordan, will be Jordan black hand, and Jordan is not good to fight back, the return hand may be punished, so, for tat this kind of thing, you have to Oakley to do, and Oakley to do this is too good, his hard body can not only grab rebounds, defense, but also can be used to fight, and, Oakley temper is hot, whenever Jordan is bullied, Oakley is like an exploded powder keg, immediately stand in front of Jordan, and the other side spray, pushing, Sometimes swinging fists at each other, the fiery temper makes Oakley always rush to the front line in every conflict.
Because he often stood out for Jordan, Oakley was called "Jordan's bodyguard", and Jordan's feelings for Oakley were also very deep, and when the bull traded Oakley, Jordan was very unhappy and expressed his anger to the management.
Leaving the Bulls, Oakley came to the Knicks, in the Knicks, Oakley's style did not change, and at this time the Knicks style was not only Oakley, the Knicks were also known as the "New York Gangster", and the leading big brother of the "New York Gang" was, of course, Oakley.
Oakley ball style, hot temper, and he has a characteristic, that is, never back down, he dares to cause trouble, he is not afraid of things, who provoked Oakley, that Oakley will certainly not let him go, so on the court, no one went back to take the initiative to provoke Oakley, Yao Ming commented that Oakley said that he fights more than playing, and it is not exaggerated, because oakley's 19 years of NBA career, there are indeed too many fights.
But then again, Oakley fight is a fight, but he is not an active provocative, out-of-season person, he fights mostly for teammates, such as Oakley's most famous shot for teammates, it happened in the first round of the playoffs in 98, the Knicks and the Heat, Oakley played for the Knicks, in the game, Oakley's teammate Larry Johnson and the Heat's Monin fought, in terms of strength, Larry Johnson can beat Mourning, but really fight, how to play? So, it had to be stopped, at this time, I saw Oakley stand up, standing between Morningn and Larry Johnson, blocking the two from continuing to move, and in the process, Morningn punched Oakley several times, but Oakley did not lose control of the move, he was still pulling a fight, letting the two separate, in the end, the two were separated, the Knicks won the series.
Although Oakley loves to fight, but he knows the measure, does not cause trouble to the team, if he does not know the measure, he knows to fight, then Oakley can not play in the NBA for 19 years.
In 2004, Oakley announced his retirement, and when he retired, he grabbed a total of 12205 rebounds, ranking 22nd in NBA history, and the evil man was an evaluation of Oakley, but I preferred to evaluate Oakley as a rebounding and defensively fierce forward.
