Charles Oakley Sues Casino Over Vegas Beat Down
by Larry Leo
May 16, 20117 Comments
In May 2010, former NBA tough guy and now Charlotte Bobcats assistant coach, Charles Oakley was the victim of a "gang-style beat down" at Las Vegas resort. Oakley is now suing the resort.
quote:Old Oak Tree is a 6-9, 245-pound bad arse and still one of Michael Jordan's right-hand guys. To quote Bill Simmon's "Black Super Bowl" article...
Oakley was an invited guest at Aria's VIP pool area May 28 when he left the area, the complaint says, but security officers and staff prevented him from re-entering.
After a "verbal altercation" with officers, Oakley attempted to return to his room when he was "assaulted" by them in a secluded area of the resort, the lawsuit alleges.
The complaint contends the officers wrestled Oakley to the ground and punched and handcuffed him, and that he was taken to the hospital with injuries to his neck, back, head and wrist, "all or some of which may be permanent and disabling."
quote:
I asked one relatively famous current player who knows him, "What makes Oakley more intimidating than everyone else?"
His answer: "There's a lotta tough guys in the league, but Oak don't give a f---."
