If you recall Charles Oakley and Top Flight Security of the World got into an incident in Vegas ( NBA Great Charles Oakley Beat Up In Vegas ).
Oak decide to sue the Casino and one of the reasons was because the attack may have an effect on his ability to work in the NBA.
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.
The 47-year-old Oakley, still moving gingerly, attended Charlotte’s workout of draft prospects Saturday. As he contemplates surgery, Oakley said he told general manager Rod Higgins to consider replacing him on coach Paul Silas’ staff.
Silas said Saturday there’s no timetable for making a decision.
“I want to do what’s best for the team, always,” Oakley said. “We’ll have to see what happens and if I’m not back, they’ll have someone just as good as me or better.”
Oakley has sued the Aria hotel-casino, claiming he was beaten by security guards in May 2010. Oakley is convinced the incident led to his current condition.
“I wasn’t going to sue, but they just did too much damage to me,” said Oakley, who filed the suit last month. “It just handicapped me for a period of time and they think it was a joke. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I never tried to assault them. They tried to assault me.
If you look at the pics that was a Top Flight Security of the World, went way overboard. Unless has some sort of weapon there was no need for all of that.
It was a mob style attack and I thought they had ran the mob out of Vegas?
