Summary of Charles Oakley's The Last Enforcer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. I was raised by my mother, Corine, who worked in a bar. I didn’t tell her that I got the money from gambling, because I didn’t want to get in trouble. I was smart. #2 I grew up the youngest of six children with one brother, Curtis, and four sisters: Saralene, Carolyn, Diane, and Yvonne. I was always protected by my family. I learned at an early age that my parents and grandparents would not tolerate any bullshit. #3 I grew up in Alabama with my grandfather, who was a tough man. I never saw him complain about anything. He passed away when I was in my second year in the NBA, but he was proud of me. #4 When I was growing up in Cleveland, I was in a lot of fights. I learned how to fight and protect myself. When I was playing football in the street, I would get jumped by guys who were usually bigger than me, but I would fight back.
Blood in the Garden
For nearly an entire generation the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. But in the 1990s they had earned respect not only by winning, but also through brute force. The Knicks fought opponents. They fought each other. They even fought their own coaches at time-- and coach Pat Riley encouraged the nastiness. They never won a championship in those years-- but endeared themselves to millions of fans. Herring delves into the origin, evolution, and eventual demise of the iconic club in eye-opening detail. He pulls no punches-- which is just how those rough-and-tumble Knights would like it. -- adapted from jacket

The Knicks of the Nineties
The Knicks of the 1990s competed like champions but fell short of their goal. An eclectic group who took divergent, in many cases fascinating paths to New York, they forged an identity as a rugged, relentless squad. Led by a superstar center Patrick Ewing and two captivating coaches--Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy--they played David to the Chicago Bulls' Goliath. Despite not winning a championship, they were embraced as champions by New Yorkers and their rivalries with the Bulls, Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat defined NBA basketball for a decade. Drawing on original interviews with players, coaches and others, this narrative rediscovers the brilliance of the Knicks, Ewing and his colorful supporting cast--Charles Oakley, John Starks, Larry Johnson and Latrell Sprewell--in the glory days of Madison Square Garden.
