You wouldn't know it, but Charles Oakley is a jack of all trades. He sets hard picks, clotheslines opposing players, and he'll sell his left arm before he gives up a rebound. Now he's going write a book. YES.

"I'm not pulling any punches, true stories. It ain't one of those Charles Barkley fake books, it's a Charles Oakley book," Oakley said. "It's not an O.J. book, it's an Oakley book."

 So here at Bracketfest, we like to poll smoke and what better way to smoke'em up than to compare and contrast other recent "tell all" books written by ex-athletes?

Jose Canseco's

"Juiced" trivia



John Amaechi's 

"Man in the Middle" trivia


Wilt Chamberlain's

"A View From Above" trivia

 

Charles Oakley's

soon to be named book... trivia (hopefully)

- Steroids...
- Steroids...
- Steroids...
- Something about Madonna
- More steroids...

- calling out homophia in the NBA (shocking!)
- specifically the Utah Jazz organization
- talks about the "ultra-masculinity" of NBAers that one would think they are the gay ones

- really, only one trivia you need from this:

Sleeping 20 000 women (damn!)

- having his five fingers say something to Tyrone Hill's face
- tussle with Jeff McInnis, over a woman...
- repeatedly calling Vince Carter either "whiny puss, chump, sissy and/or all of the above" (I can't verify this one, but it has to be true...)


So what do you think? Which self-auto-bio-tell-all is the more scandalous? Vote or read a book!
Canceco's Juiced
Amaechi's Man in the Middle
Wilt's A View From Above
Oak's "How I Slapped Tyrone Hill in the Face"

    That Oakley book should be fun.  The kind of guy who will feud with a teammate's mother during a playoff series is probably going to be willing to talk about everyone (except MJ).
