Charles Oakley was one of the most aggressive and intimidating players in the league. During his 19-year NBA career, he made over 4000 fouls.

He was given the name 'Oak Tree' for his tough play. He has slapped many guys, including Charles Barkley during a meeting. The 1994 NBA All-Star played for many teams including, the Chicago Bulls (where he would often serve as Michael Jordan’s bodyguard), Toronto Raptors, Wizards and Houston Rockets.

His time with the New York Knicks (the mid-90s) is also well known as they were regarded as one of the toughest teams at the time.

Even after retiring, Oakley hasn't changed a bit as he recently got into a brawl with the Executive Chairman of Madison Square Garden and was ejected from the arena.

The NY Police arrested Charles and he was charged with three counts of misdemeanour assault and criminal trespassing.
