Charles Oakley spoke about the podcast “No Pum Fakes”, where he commented on the current state of the NBA league and on this occasion “hooked” Giannis Antetokunmpo!
The former Knicks, Bulls, Raptors, Wizards, and Rockets basketball player was known as a very tough player on the field.
He did not have a significant contribution in the attack, but that is why he did “dirty” tasks in defense, due to which he often got into physical fights on the field, for which he was known.
At the beginning of his career, he was a mentor to the young Michael Jordan, when he came to the league, and later received the epithet of his “bodyguard” on the field.
According to him, the NBA league has become “softer”, and some players would not be so dominant in his era, which he explained in the example of “Greek Frick”. –
Giannis has her own style. I was skeptical about his success because he can’t hit a shot or a free throw. However, he won me over after what he did last season. However, he would not be a force in my time, he would suffer because the defense would force him to shoot outside. He would not be able to enter the racket so often, his opponents would “cut off his head”. He would be the player entering the game from the bench at that time. He is not so big and strong that he could play at that time – said Oakley.
During his career, he was considered one of the best jumpers of the 80s and early 90s. Oakley played his best season in 1889/90. when he averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds on average.
