Former NBA star and legendary tough guy Charles Oakley tosses out compliments like man-hole covers.

However, the criticism is free-flowing.

Appearing on Jim Rome's radio show, he called Charles Barkley a coward, Kevin Garnett a faux tough guy and blamed Kendrick Perkins for getting dunked on.

On Garnett: "He's one of the weakest guys to ever play the game. He's a complementary player and went to Paul Pierce's team and won a championship. I wouldn't consider him a top 10 tough guy."

On Barkley: "Barkley for his size was a good player but he's a coward though ... he wasn't a leader and wasn't a role model. Now he talks so bad about younger guys, I don't respect that from him. … He's wants to be funny, that whole TNT thing and all that, they're like some clowns on that show."

On Perkins: "He's just like Garnett. They holler and complain. If Kendrick Perkins would play basketball, Oklahoma City would win a championship the next three or four years … you're a power forward, you don't let guys dunk on you. I played 18, 19 years I got dunked on 3 times ..."

tru






but oak tree my man....


can u imagine players today playing back in the early 90`s

& had to face the bad boys or the early knicks teams...

( with x-man, anthony mason , oak, starks, ewing...shit even doc rivers used to get it in...)

when mugging was legal....


i really wonder how the elite players would do...

bron , kobe, wade, howard, rose ....etc etc.......

 

[mathtest]

he's right about everything, its ironic that perkins weight loss is the reason for that dunk, most pf's who collide with a dunker in the air like that pushes them back and makes them lose the ball and jus get the foul call but perk got his shit pushed back

didn't he beat nick van excels ass over tyra banks??

 

[Dark Gable]

LOL! He speaks the truth!

 

[TimRock]

funny thing is, with Perks face, he could possibly be as intimidating as Oakley.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Yep I been said that shit about KG

And what he said about Barkley might be true but Barkley used to bust his ass

And Perkins can't clobber niggas on the court like Oakley used to the NBA doesn't allow that shit anymore it has been slighty pussyfied

 

[Kwame Coltrane]

Man Oak wasn't nothing but a glorified weed carrier for Jordan. This tough guy shit aint never won his ass nothing. Now he old washed up and bitter taking shots at people who are either still in the league or have jobs on tv where he probably wants to be.

thats a new one. never heard this before.

i know he slapped jeff mcginnis and beat up someone else, forgot who it was.

he didn't say barlkey was soft tho, barkley is 1 of the toughest niggaz to play the game, i didn't realize how short barkley was until later in his career, his stats always made him look like a big man

Yea bro. Oak is forgetting that if you take all them 90s teams and let them play today, all of them niggas would stay suspended. You can't foul people like that now. Lol....

And I like Barkley on TNT, he usually speaks the truth where others try to sugarcoat​

Only if a silly looking face was all it took. His game is trash, and after Blake put him on the poster even his intimidation facade is near worthless.

Perk isn't a Forward though.. Oak is talking shit and he doesn't even know what position he is..

 

[Dr. Truth]

Oakley still mad Jordan destroyed his career. Tell me why you really mad son

Nah man. Oak was a true enforcer. A great rebounder, extremely effective defender, and a dependable scorer. Lets not make Oak out to be the black Jack Haley or some shit.

 

[Mr. Met]

Always loved Oaktree.

But how the fuck does a 6-9 nigga have no vertical leap?

Not exactly fam, like mathtest said above...collide & push. Who do you remember dunking on Shaq? He was the master of the collision, even in his old age & cats went for it...he wasn't having it & never got any flagrants for it.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Nah he cant say he was soft

Chuck is 6'6 and what he did on the court was straight beast mode

I just dont know how much I can knock a player like Barkley who happened to have a prime at the same time as the G.O.A.T. and came into the NBA when the Lakers, Celtics, and Pistons were running shit

Its a lot of people who didn't get rings behind that shit Oakley included

And for the most part Barkley calls out the young players who need to be called out

If you are a bigman who doesn't rebound or are a soft player in general he is going to say something about it

Shaq was nearly half foot taller and nearly 100lbs heavier than this guy bro.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

I considered myself a big KG fan when he played with the Wolves even while Dirk busted his ass all those years(and still does)

But when he got to the Celtics he just dropped his nuts and got so tough didn't he?

I didn't feel that shit

 

[MadWun]

Getting coverage on First and Ten...

 

[southkakreppa]

this is how charles and kg feels about this nigga

 

[Amajorfucup]

Nah he cant say he was soft

He said he was a coward not soft. Obviously some of that shit is personal and rumors are Oak whupped Barkley ass back in the day. But i think he meant mentally soft more than anything. ...And again, i agree with Oak.

 

[Darrkman]

Nope. Jordan was PISSED when Chicago traded Oak away for Bill Cartwright. Jordan knew if Oak had your back on the court you're safe as hell.
