Oak Got His Butt Whooped in Vegas... Sadly, Badly

[Apollo]

In a story of how the mighty have fallen comes a report that former NY Knicks, Bulls, Raptors,and Rockets player, Charles Oakley was reportedly beaten down by a small Las Vegas casino’s security team sometime this past week. Some pics have been floating all over the internet via Twitter of the incident since a hostess from another casino was a first hand witness to the unfortunate event. No details are currently available as to why the assault took place. The takedown of one of the NBA’s most feared players apparently was pretty severe since “Oak” was taken to a local Vegas hospital and sustained a broken right arm and sprained neck, along with a few other minor bumps and bruises.

Even at age 46, standing 6’9, and still in great shape, Oakley probably was a tough takedown for any of the casino’s rent-a-cops.

Wow! If true, I wonder why security decide to "take him down".

Anyone who has ever watched a Bruce Lee film knows that for someone say trained in the marital arts it is no big deal to take down and kick the butt of someone like Oakley who is probably not a trained fighter.

I wonder how big of a team it was. Vegas takes their casino security a bit more serious than rent-a-cops too.
