Summary:
"If you ask a New York Knicks fan about
Charles
Oakley
, you better prepare to hear the love and a favorite story or two. But his individual stats of him were n'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 more unbelievable encounters than Forrest Gump, and nearly as many fights as Mike Tyson. He was the friend you wish you had, and the enemy you wish you'd never made. If any opposing player was crazy enough to start a fight with him, or God forbid one of his teammates,
Oakley
would end it. “I can't remember every rebound I grabbed but I do have a story -- the true story -- of just about every punch and slap on my resume,” he says. In The Last Enforcer ,
Oakley
shares one incredible story after the next -- all in his signature “unflinchingly tough, honest, and ultimately endearing” (Harvey Araton, New York Timesbestselling author) style -- about his life in the paint and beyond, fighting for rebounds and respect. You'll look back on the era of the 1990s NBA, when tough guys with rugged attitudes, unflinching loyalty, and hard-nosed work ethics were just as important as three-point sharpshooters. You'll feel like you were on the court, in the room, can't believe what you just saw, and need to tell everyone you know about it."--Publisher.
