Quote by -Charles Oakley
The guys who beat me didn't get 1,000 rebounds. I did. It's not my fault the other guys didn't play as many games.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
Most coaches are mostly small guards because they think guards have more knowledge.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
You put in what you get out. If you don't put time into your game, you're not going to get better.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
When you walk out here with the Bobcats logo, stand for something. Not wearing your hat to the back, sagging jeans. Be a professional, that's how I present myself to them.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I guess I'm going to have to go Google myself and see why people think I shouldn't be coaching.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
Why complain to the NBA and to the officials all the time, just like Tyrone Hill, always complaining about me on the court?
Quote by -Charles Oakley
My thing was I had attitude every night. No matter who I played, who I went against, what team, you've got to have an attitude.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
Some guys get by on natural athletic ability. And then when they reach a certain point, they got to put in the time before and after practice and in the off-season.
Quote by -Charles Oakley

Quote by -Charles Oakley
Your offense might not be great every game, but defense is just about working hard and outworking your opponents.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I'm not a high jumper, but you don't see guys intimidating me or posting me up.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
A lot of guys do the pretty things. Dunking, tattoos, earrings, sagging jeans. That's the league now. They have athletic ability, but they don't know the game.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
Coming from the inner city of Cleveland and growing up you never expected a street to be named after you or anything. It's a special honor.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
When you play 40 minutes a game, you're going to average a lot of rebounds.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
Just because there's glass on the road don't mean there's been an accident.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
You can't say, 'You're a scorer, you score. You rebound, you rebound.' Basketball is more than that. Basketball is knowing the next step, knowing the next play, knowing how to make things happen.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
David Stern is the mastermind behind a lot of stuff, he controls a lot of stuff, he dictates a lot of stuff so he's going to make himself look good.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I shoot five or six times, go out and play defense and make sure everything is clicking. I'm like a transmission in a car. You can't see me, but I make the car go.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I'm not a troublemaker. People say, 'You got into a lot of incidents.' Yeah, but it was on the basketball floor.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
When I first got into this league, I knew a lot. But I made myself better by listening and working hard.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I don't just hop in the car. I have destinations. I drive to relax. I'll be gone for two weeks, hit four or five major cities. I don't like being nowhere for more than two or three days. I just go. I don't have a schedule.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I was in New York, I went to a Yankees game and I called and said, 'Can I get tickets to the Knicks game?' They said, 'We can't get you tickets no more to the Knicks game.'... They had tickets, but they said they didn't have no tickets for me.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
You can't play Around the World in the NBA, you've gotta go to the basket.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
I just want to let the fans know I don't hate the Knicks. I love the Knicks.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
My thing is, when Barkley played basketball, he didn't practice, he wasn't a leader, he wasn't this or that, he just had natural talent so he got chosen to the Dream Team, All Star team because he had the talent and he was the franchise player on the team.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
If you're out after 6 o'clock, have a jacket on, because you might go somewhere. People say, 'Oh, I ain't dressed for it.' But if you have a jacket on, you can go anywhere.
Quote by -Charles Oakley
People hate to go out to eat with me because they know I'm going to send it back. Like, I'm trying to order simple. But don't blame me if you bring out the wrong stuff.
