there are many sides to Oak. the Legend Slapping NBA players for owing him money and tough man on the court was epic. Was on the court for so many important games! Forgetting Las Vegas or his MSG instigations the man was very benevolent to helping Jayson Williams:

“Curtis showed up with, ‘What would Jesus do?’ and Charles showed up with an aluminum baseball bat,” Williams told The Post in a hour-long phone interview. “I asked Oak, ‘What were you going to do with that bat?’ He said, ‘I was going to do whatever I had to do to get you in that truck to get you down to Florida to go to treatment.’ ” – via New York Post

Jayson has had a big fall from grace over the years and he lost more than just his money/status.

never had any hate at all for oak. reserved that for players like garnett, d green, artest. ever rewatch the malice in the palace and see what a ***** artest was when actually confronted by a player he had just cheap-shotted (big ben)?
