Summary:
Oakley's individual stats weren't remarkable, and while he helped power the Knicks to ten consecutive playoffs, he never won a championship. So why does he hold such a special place in the minds, hearts, and memories of NBA players and fans? Because over the course of nineteen years in the league, Oakley was at the center of many unbelievable encounters-- and nearly as many fights as Mike Tyson. If any opposing player was crazy enough to start a fight with him, or God forbid one of his teammates, Oakley would end it. Here Oakley shares one incredible story after the next: about his life in the paint and beyond, fighting for rebounds and respect. -- adapted from jacket
