THE CHARLES OAKLEY SLAP HEARD ROUND THE NBA. |S1 EP7

Welcome to episode 7 of The Mark Jackson Show. In this episode, Mark and Bluu get into what life would have been like if there was social media when Mark played, and that quickly leads to Mark’s version of the Charles Oakley slap heard round the arena. It’s hilarious and also involves a referee.

Also, the show debuts a new segment called, “Make Sense or Maannnnnnnn!”

We find out that Mark is a picky eater, even in a food-rich city like New Orleans.

Done but the realize cameras everywhere is a scary situation yeah it’s dangerous I mean no matter where you go you got cameras in your face and everybody’s a reporter so it’s it’s we wouldn’t look at some of the graes the way we look at them today I’m glad you admit that I’m

Glad no I mean I feel for the for today athlete or today’s celebrity is dangerous out there but you a special case cuz your generation generally doesn’t feel bad for for Our Generation that’s not true it’s just y’all swag Mur y’all murdered everybody y got to Dum

Down no you got to dumb down the swag a little B give us a chance to show Grace dumb down the swag we just showed two episodes you and a Coogi Coogi sweater on the phone with my mom with the Rookie of the Year trophy

On your side it would it it it wouldn’t be good if social media was back then it’s a tough time and everybody is a reporter and everybody’s looking for that next big click which is uncomfortable yeah y’all get off scott free man y’all y’all was y generation if

Social media was around it’ be it’ be a problem he can you imagine the picture having a live picture of Michael Jordan in Atlantic City as a series is going on you know I mean it’s just pictures like that it’s just uncomfortable and it I don’t I don’t really think there’s a

Place for it but everybody wants to be you know get that next next Hot Topic or next hot picture imagine if you saw Dennis Robin on Instagram in Vegas bulls with practic be a show yeah yeah y generation was nasty man y’all had freak Nick and all that

Stuff y’all y’all y’all y’all watched the history but y’all generation is is was was real I don’t know bro was great times great relax it was how fun was it it was great time what you want me to say I didn’t live yeah I’ve been some places how

About how about uh what if social media was around in Charles Oakley we get some footage of him smacking somebody up and in a practice not just practice I I played with Charles Oakley in New York I played with him in Toronto he’s a friend

And a guy I got a lot of respect for and a heck of a teammate but social media I can remember being on the Toronto Raptors with him and Charles Oakley was saying I’m not gonna mention the guy’s name Tyrone Hill play with Philadelphia 76 but Charles O was like he owed me

Money and I told him next time I see him I’m GNA slap him so the Toronto Raptors are playing the Philadelphia 76ers we’re on the layup line warming up 15 minutes before the game both teams out there Oak goes I’ll be back be back as a layup

Line where you going this dude goes across to the other side of the co Court looks at Tyrone Hill steps to him and says what did I tell you what’s going to happen next time I saw you if you didn’t have my money he said you said you gonna

Slap me he said you got my money he said no dude slaps some in the arena slaps him gets a technical foul now my my question is why didn’t you get thrown out I asked the referee let me ask you a question the dude just walked across

Half court slapped him he’s my guy I love him he’s my teammate he slapped another dude and you only gave him one Tech why referee looks at me and says cuz he owes me money [Laughter] too no man that’s a legend man you you play with some enforces in your day yes

And don’t get it twisted I was the enforcer from the guard position but the big guy guys did a great job of laying down rules and and holding different we had we had rules no layups when I played with the Knicks Pat Riley we he didn’t establish the rule but we basically had

A mentality individually and collectively we’re not giving up any layups and if we saw you give up a layup and you had an opportunity to hammer somebody that’s $500 fine and we held guys to it back then that’s that’s a good amount of money huh that’s good M

Are you living like that it’s good money day you find you find an NBA player $500 today they do it again just to prove something that’s that’s a good point but we we we took it serious and um it set a tone for the success we we had moving

Forward but social media is it it has its positives but it certainly has some negatives to it also speaking of social media we got our new page in the description you can go down and click it right now give us a follow a like yeah

Just show us some love man we want to hear from y’all y’all questions y’all opinions we listening so go ahead and do that right now we got a new segment do we yeah man you excited I guess so I got my seat belt on with you I don’t know

What’s going on good be ready okay this is a segment called make sense or man okay you ready for this what’s it called man you like that right I like that all right so let’s go let’s start with our guy Draymond Green who recently said I think I’m the best defender to

Ever play this game 100% that’s my opinion it’s the end of the quote what you think of that does it make sense or man okay I was going to force you it I’m G give it to you don’t worry pause pause um Draymond Green is supposed to think he’s the greatest

Defender ever lived anybody that’s in the discussion in that rare group of alltime great Defenders has a right to believe they are that dude he’s an elite individual Defender he’s an Elite Team Defender he’s great so I have no problem with him believing that and I I would say he’s in the discussion

For the greats you talking about Bill Russell you talking about hakee elijan talking about Scotty Pippen even Rudy goar who very well could win his I believe third or fourth Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace meta World Peace Alvin Robinson there’re some great all-time Defenders that have a right to

Kimry mumble to be in the discussion and if I’m Draymond Green I have no issues with him putting his name in in on that list he deserves it he’s a four-time champ and he sets the tone defensively for everything that the Golden State Warriors do and have done I

Think that for me that statement is it rings true to me I got Draymond as the greatest I said it’s okay if he says it so you’re cosigning him yeah I’m cosigning that I’m not going to look Draymond talk your talk man talk your talk you talk on defense you call out

The back screens you guard the best players you make sure that the whole whole ship does every hole I watch it every hole you cover it up you talk your talk if you say you’re the best play defender of all time you’re the best defender of all time do you’re the best

All right talk that talk man the dynasty ain’t over I got no problem with him feeling that way he’s supposed to feel that way and his body of work puts him into discussion I have I have no arguments I think for me my argument is not that you arguing with me but that

Ability to cover a multitude of sins for a team that ability ility to say okay Steph I know his negatives and his positives I know how to cover him I know Clay how to cover him that back screen I know the call I might run out and Sprint

You know what’s crazy you know a lot about defense and talking and communicating but you don’t play defense what you mean I’m saying you sitting there acting like you did off finish the defensive end Coach peace text my PO and tell him about my defensive game what

You mean I CL trivia who is the 1986 Big E Defensive Player of the Year 8 s defensive player of the year I wasn’t born [Laughter] Tada they told me I wonder one I was like what me you was playing defense no I think they had a tough time to decide

Who was play of the Year between me and Reggie Williams and they could only give it to one of us they decided not to get make us co- playay the year which we should have been and they somehow figured let’s just give Mark Jackson defense play the year so I still tell

Jeff Van Gundy and he’s like how did you win like are you kidding me we never you never been the defense it’s on my resume that’s impressive I might sit that trophy here too don’t do it I’m knock it down I never seen you play hard defense

In a in a regular gym no you come on man what point game you got the ball nobody want to guard you I’m like slap the floor that’s when it’s me when it’s me for some reason you you hit the switch I still cook you yeah okay next question

Man all right Draymond so you Scot free you get off with a that makes sense next one though our Guy Stephen A Smith recently said he thinks the OKC Thunder can beat the Lakers in a seven game series makes sense well man I’m not going to pick them to beat

The Los Angeles Lakers because of LeBron James presence Anthony Davis and the veterans that they have around but I think it makes sense Stephen A making that point because this team is second and in the west right now as we speak they just finished last week being first

In the west so they’re more than capable of beating a team in a playoff matchup you have a guy in the MVP discussion and Shay Gil Alexander who is playing spectacular basketball scoring in a variety of ways initiating offense setting guys up that’s a team that’s

Young and I can remember being on a young team where we were too dumb to think we got no business on the same court as LeBron and Anthony Davis but that’s the dangerous place to face a team like that because they don’t know no better they they think they they

Don’t know that they supposed to lose in a series against them they may get it going and uh find themselves advancing in the playoffs so I think I would agree with with Stephen A Smith’s assertion of of of OKC having a chance to beat him I’m not with you on that cuz because

When I look at the history of LeBron he handles the young teams man he did it in he did it in Miami he did it in Cleveland any team that has not had the experience of of playing against LeBron in the play playoffs I can’t go against against LeBron but you’re not paying

Attention to the words of Stephen A Smith he’s saying OKC could beat the Lakers are you saying they don’t stand a chance okay if we saying it if we say if we say I’m going with the word I’m going with the question okay they could be you got a

Tough time you got a tough time because you’re such a LeBron guy no it just doesn’t make sense to me you you put Anthony Davis in a situation where he doesn’t have to guard a big he’s going to have free reign to go at dudes like

Chad and then you have LeBron on the wing playing against younger dudes I just don’t see how in a seven game series the Lakers go home I don’t I don’t see it neither but I will say that OKC has a chance to beat him I wouldn’t

Be shocked if they beat him that’s my answer and I’m sticking to it all right Stephen A you get a it makes sense we going to give that to you that makes sense we going to give that to you all right next one you liking this segment so far I

Enjoy it my favorite part is when you say it makes sense and then the man or what’s the other line does it make sense or man yeah yeah yeah yeah let me see you do on time we not doing that let me see you looking good in the blue let me

See don’t do that don’t do that don’t do that let me see no no maybe another day all right next one the Cavs recently snapped the Celtics 11 game win streak and Boston’s chrisst porzingis said afterwards that the loss was quote healthy for us saying they don’t want to get too overconfident they

Did lose a 22-point lead makes sense or man makes sense I’m not sure if I want one of my players saying that I like to say that as a coach and then them Echo what I say I said it in a you know earli episode how you can gain valuable

Experience and learn a lesson from losing ball game games because you can win 10 11 straight ball games and you think boy we just rolling we can’t lose we we we can mess around with the game we can develop bad habits and and I I learned a great thing years ago do not

Accept in winning what you will not accept in losing that’s good what I mean by that is you can develop bad habits and Overlook them because we won the ball game and all of a sudden it’s no longer a habit is who you are and it

Wind up putting you on vacation so I agree with what porz said in the long term it’s beneficial for the Boston Celtics to experience losing a game in the fashion in which they lost it because it makes it easy if I’m Joe moula for me to coach it makes it easy

If I’m one of the leaders of the basketball team to hold guys accountable because now I’m not just guessing we could lose or we could make mistake or that’s going to cost us now I can point to something and say it did cost us we

Did lose and we got to make the proper adjustments put ourselves in position to make sure that that does not occur again so I totally agree Kristoff porzingis I’d much rather my players making a statement with their game rather than making a statement sound like a coach in that in that in

That instance I’m with you on that I’m with you on that because I think what he said was real and I think they’ve been rolling they having an amazing season so sometimes you do need a reality check sometimes you do need to be brought back

Down to earth I wonder if I’m the right player though I remember coaching and I remember one dude always messed up every assignment and he always was going through emotions and he was the one dude in the locker room at the end talking about come on baby we got we got to do

Better we got to get I’m sitting like is somebody going to call this dude out does it have to be me is somebody going to expose this dude for being you call him out did you call him out yes I did but but is the most successful teams are

Not the ones that the coaches call them out all the time is the ones where you police the locker room amongst each other and you hold each other accountable I’m not I’m not going at you but I’m trying to get somewhere in order for me to get somewhere I got to call it

Out yeah and we got to a point eventually but initially it was like is somebody going to call us we got to get back we got to get a stop we got to defend we got to hit the hit the deck and get the loose balls dude I haven’t

Seen your jersey dirty yet yeah if you don’t shut up bring it in I’m I’m glad you brought this up cuz I’ve been waiting to have this conversation with you I need you to just give me like just a just a little more oh do you yeah

Pause my story is not good yeah but I need the I need the energy like see you undercover you want names and you want you you want you want all that yeah I need everything come on man forward you looking good give me the good things moving forward moving forward we’ll work

On that all right did you did you like the the cases on the iPad cases is fire man we got it done we moving on up we like the Jefferson we making a little making a Little Noise We got a heck of a crew here shout out to the crew every

Give yourselves in here man yourselves a hand yes oh KP we didn’t get you off the hook that makes sense man but we watching you close cuz you on the we watching you so that makes sense though you all right you right all right next man Zion

Williamson he said that if he’s invited to next year’s All-Star game he will personally resurrect the dunk contest make sense or man I gotta go with the man what are we doing what are we doing is he trying to manipulate the system to get voted into the All-Star game with

The prize of him being uh in the DK contest I mean what are we doing I understand like jayen Brunson said I’m not going to be in any I’m not going to the All-Star Game in my entire career unless I make the allstar game and he

Didn’t let it be known until he made the All-Star team and he said you know what I never came because I’ve made a promise to myself if Zion made a promise to himself and kept that to himself I got respect for it don’t dangle the possibility of being in the D contest

Luring me to vote for you it’s a heck of a move chess move by him yeah but one I can’t cosign no it’s brilliant that dude he been as a fellow as a fellow heavyweight when I go eat I know the two for one special he tried to hit us with

The two for one special on the on the on the allar game the dunk contest he got to relax man that’s that’s man for real like yeah I mean and the thing is he’s a special talent who can without giving us that nugget to vote for him he very well

Can be an allstar game he deserves it He Got Game he’s flat out a bright bright star that can make the case that he should have already been in All-Star Game and moving forward he will make you know plenty more so it’s just this feels a little uncomfortable to put it the way

That he put it but uh he’s a guy that I I want to see in the dun contest and I want to see him in the All-Star Game I agree B Zion man get out of here dog you know you tripping no no anybody you ever ever

Wanted to see in the slam dunk contest I know who you wanted to see in the slam slam DK contest yeah you come on man let me take a guest think hard LeBron James yes yes that’s what we missed did we miss it huh did we miss it you forget

When he was when he was no but I’m listening to the radio and I hear people killing LeBron James for never being in a done contest as fans and reporters I understand saying he owed it to us he didn’t owe it to us we got had 20 years of greatness

40,000 plus points over 10,000 plus assists and over 10,000 rebounds a career triple double he is more than delivered to us as fans us as media and shame on you that believe that he owed it to us to be in a Dun contest didn’t you see him flying through there in that

48 minute ball game didn’t you see him flying through there in the playoffs didn’t you see him flying through there in the championship series he’s he’s allowed us to witness greatness by his performance on the Court him in a dunk contest is a bonus he doesn’t owe that

To us and there’s some guys you’ve seen him there some guys you say who’s going to win the dunk contest oh June bug I saw him do something on film the other day and then June bug get in front of those 20,000 with the bright lights June

Bug can’t make a dunk to save his life so so everybody that’s a dunker shouldn’t be in the dunk contest shout out to the ones that did it but for those of you that decided not to be in the dunk contest LeBron James included I

Got no problems with it you think do you think he owes it to us no no no no he doesn’t owe it to us but would have been nice to see Braun at in his prime compete in the slam dun contest yeah that would have been legendary I got a

Brother that was in a dunk contest which which brother my brother we call him Peewee would yeah exactly that’s what I’m thinking so I’m getting to the I’m getting to the park at the allstar game and they like peew is in the dunk contest I’m like peew he’s in the dunk

Contest so now peew has the basketball I never saw him dunk in my life the dude is licking his arms no setting up to dunk like he’s going to Cuff in and dunk and I’m like not a chance what is going on I ain’t been going and sure enough he

Didn’t dunk it but he had everybody he tried he had everybody fooled like and he sold a fact to the people that this is a dunk that he does normally but it just didn’t work today I’m sitting there like I I’ve known this dude my entire life I haven’t seen him dunk he’s

Tricking y’all how many times did he attempt to dunk three I’ve never seen him L his arm and licked his arm every time I’m like what is going on man he throw the oop to himself no he had the one dunk nah come on Uncle PE come on

That I had the ability to do it but I never was in a dunk contest but growing up with Kenny Smith obviously was in the dunk contest made us proud didn’t win it but that wasn’t that wasn’t my game I could dunk but I had had no business

Beating him in the state championship having six3 across the board pressing and this was great times great memories and that’s just me accepting the uh package from from vity Customs but also reliving it and uh precious moment great memories I remember when you took us to

Go go see at high school you lowkey got exposed that day Dad no no no no no you got exposed now you got exp why you why you jumping down my story let me get it off okay share your story get SH now you story all when I was growing up New York

We we I was born in New York born in Brooklyn but I lived in Jersey so my my PS took me to the suburbs lived in Jersey when I grew up but it was always a story of the big bad wolf Brooklyn Queens it’s just stay out of there cuz

We used to almost die every day back in the day son like you put on it on it for real when you Brooklyn don’t get shot son like it was bad so when my dad was like let’s go to the to to his high

School I’m like oh man like I got to be safe man he took us to his high school it is beautiful no no no it is a beautiful neighborhood it was a lady that walked by she was like good morning I was like good morning no it wasn’t you

Forgot it wasn’t the morning it was about 11:00 at night we was riding the neighborhood oh well she that’s even crazy old lady walking at night saying good morning it’s a nice no it it was it was crazy that’s not the the neighborhood that I went to school in it

Times have changed and certainly uh that little white lady that was walking around at 11 11:30 at night uhhuh thank God the times have changed to the point where she’s safe walking because there was a time when this is what I’m talking me going from Queens to Brooklyn hour

And a half away my mom and dad would wonder was I okay there was no there was no cell phone so I had to call at some point during the course of the day say I’m good I got practice after school and I’ll be home at some point it was a

Tough tough neighborhood but thank God Things Are change Brooklyn today is not the same Brooklyn as it was in 1982 83 all right man that’s that’s document get off the hook just like Harlem Harlem’s not the same no it’s it’s it’s much better thank God all of these places are different gentrification

Um all right let’s get to the next picture let’s let’s pop it up we all know who this is man this is a legend right here The Talented Spike Lee you got to good personal story with with with Spike um a bunch of great stories orange and blue skies Ley a big New

York Nick fan a big New York fan is a friend a guy that reaches out and text or call and give shout out and love I got a lot of respect for him and is an absolute Legend in in the in the film field um probably the best story is not

Just being on the Knicks a better story is playing for the Indiana Paces playing the New York Knicks and Spike Lee talking trash choke sign to Reggie Miller running his mouth the whole time and then all of a sudden things turn and we go on a run we’re winning ball games

And now spike is sitting there mums the word mouth shut nothing to say disgusted and upset knowing that he loves me but he hates me at the same time so uh those are the great memories and then motivating Reggie Miller to go back at Spike um fun time times fun absolute

Fun times and we laugh about it today and um he’s he’s a he’s a somebody I got a lot of respect for but we had some some great memories when I was in uniform with the Knicks and even some better ones when I played against them and uh had success watching Spike pout

With his bottom lip suck out when I think of how much trash talk y’all was doing back then it makes me think of a question like how what’s the difference between the trash talk back then coming from the fans or the side lines and what we see today from the

Fans it has it always been like this not like this today you got fake gangsters in the stands they want to disrespect you yeah disrespect your family and say things that they wouldn’t say to you if you was at the club or at the grocery store we had some fans that said some

Things that were crazy but it was handled differently I can remember Leon the barber old black man in Detroit sitting right behind the bench one day he tell one of my teammates and he looked and this dude never brushed his hair I don’t know why this guy used this

Material he’s like go in the back right now and brush your hair look like the Million Man March on your like it was like hilarious and and we’re sitting on the bench and we look at his ha and the dude was right so we’re laughing and you have a a lawyer

Older white guy that was a lawyer in Washington DC sitting behind the bench saying crazy things always stomping his foot he stomp his foot and say different things and crazy things but it was fun it was an interaction you’d say something to them they’d say something

To you it was nothing malicious or dis really it was disrespectful but not not overboard it was a line that you did not cross today people are not only comfortable with Crossing line but they do it consistently and that’s the disappointing part but we certainly had

Our share of fans that were known in each particular Arena around the country and and we embraced them we celebrate and quite honestly we look forward to playing those games and hearing the material that they had cuz in our buildings whether it be New York or Indiana or other buildings that I played

In we had fans that made people uncomfortable and at times they crossed the line so I don’t I don’t I don’t accept it it shouldn’t be tolerated and I think the league in general does a great job of once you identify it handling it and then making those folks

Know they’re no longer welcome you got any stories of anybody that you had a check or just set the record straight um off the top of my head no I was fortunate enough that I didn’t get get into any issues like that and nobody crossed the line other than what you

Talked about but I I didn’t have the luxury of being in the stands where I could personally hear it and address it but so no and I think like I said the league does a great job of of policing those situations and making sure if it happened once doesn’t happen again what

About when when Michael Jordan threw the ball at you oh that’s funny see see you yeah that’s funny we were in the middle of a playoff game like I talked about we send messages by fouling hard he went in the air getting ready to try to finish

It I clock him pretty nice he’s upset in the air with the basketball that I hit him pretty hard physically fouling he throws the ball off my head Mike why are we doing this man did you did he say anything when he threw it

Off your head no no he’s not no no he’s not saying anything but but you know it’s just you know nobody’s fighting in the in the league yeah I go to him he goes to me Reggie comes in my teammates come in and there nothing but it’s it’s funny

Uh and it’s it’s something that I look at today and get a kick out of but nothing serious that hilarious man what you got to stop bringing up stuff that you know unless you give me a heads up no that’s the good stuff man I got to
