OAK Might Not Be Back

[HeatCheck]

Charles Oakley might not be back as assistant coach because of an ailing back. I love what Oakley brought to this team. I subscribe to SLAM magazine and there was an article in there where he was very committed to the team. Whenever asked about the previous teams he played for and always said he was focused on the Bobcats.

Charles Oakley, one of the NBA’s all-time tough guys, may not return to the Charlotte Bobcats’ bench next season because of a painful back condition he says was caused during an assault last year in Las Vegas.

Oakley, who was in his first season as an assistant coach, had to be carried from the bench before a game in San Antonio on March 19. He missed Charlotte’s final 13 games with a sciatic nerve problem.

Have read that elsewhere as well. He embodies toughness, something that some of bobs' bigs need.

It's not a good idea to go to places like Las Vegas. Not going to criticize Oak as he seems like a decent enough person. Let this be a lesson learned to the rest of us though.

When you go to places like casinos and strip clubs, they tend to take the law into their own hands. We already see what Beason's going through as a result of his night at the strip club.

Simply not worth it, guys! I believe in human liberties as much as anyone else but the fact is places like those attract trash. Hanging around trash will only end bad for you.
