Getting Physical - Charles Oakley

I am one of millions of football fans with a passion for the World Game. I played football and basketball since I was a kid, and always loved both sports (among others). I believe that football thrives beyond the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, French Ligue, Spanish Primera Liga, German Bundesliga, and countless Cups around the World. If I am not writing, you can find me in the field or the court kicking, juggling, dribbling, and kicking like there's no tomorrow.

Charles Oakley

If you are an avid New York Knicks fan, you know who Charles Oakley is. As one of the supporting cast of the New York Knicks during their rivalry with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Oakley is a hardworking player who will bang bodies for his team if he needs to.

He is the team’s best rebounder as well. Oakley was in the top ten in rebounds per game between 1987 and 1994 (second in 1987 and 1988). He only missed one season due to his durability. Oakley was also chosen to the Eastern Conference All Star Team in 1994, and was chosen to the NBA All-Defense 1^st Team. Oakley is one of the core players of the New York Knicks which included Patrick Ewing, John Starks, and Mark Jackson. Oakley will always be loved by the fans for being the hardworking and physical presence in the court.
