“When I first got into this league, I knew a lot. But I made myself better by lis…” — Charles Oakley

I'm not a high jumper, but you don't see guys intimidating me or posting me up.

A lot of guys do the pretty things. Dunking, tattoos, earrings, sagging jeans. That's the league now. They have athletic ability, but they don't know the game.

I'm not the kind of guy you threaten.

In the old days Michael Jordan and Larry Bird worked for everything they got. They worked hard on their game.
