Charles Oakley now says he's beefing with his former teammate, Patrick Ewing. But Patrick, not to be a man enough to come and talk to me after having his back for 10 years, he's a coward. Nah, nah, nah. The last straw was when we was in Cleveland, and he knows I'm from Cleveland, he knew I was at the game, and he didn't speak to me. As many times as he's been to my mother's house, he can't speak to me? Nah, I'm drawing the line. I mean, I played with him for 10 years, he's just not a good person. He might make money, All-Star Dream Team, but that doesn't make you a good person. Lord have mercy.

**Chad Johnson** (0:34)
What's going on with you? Hey Joe, that's your word.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:37)
I don't know.
I didn't know he had to be with Patrick Ewing. Cause hell, if I didn't know he was gonna be the topic, you know me, I'd hit his ass up. Hell, I'd have got to come on the show.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:48)
Hell, I know it.

**Chad Johnson** (0:50)
Hey Unc and Joe, we on the other side of the hill, man. We on the other side of the hill. We ain't got, we not supposed to be beefing at our age, you know?
Not at our age, you know? They got to fix that. They got to fix that, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:03)
I don't think you can fix it, Ocho. I'ma tell you, listen, I know Oak. Been knowing Oak 30 years.
Oak is the type of dude, if you cross him, it's over.

**Chad Johnson** (1:16)
Yeah, but that-

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:16)
It really like that. It's just that simple.

**Chad Johnson** (1:18)
That wasn't crossing, huh? You know, he didn't speak to him. That's really nothing to be angry with.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:22)
Well, I think it's more to it than that, Ocho.
Yes. I want to it than that. That was just one incident he probably pointed out, you know, considering the fact that he's from Cleveland, was at the game and he- Yeah, you know I'm at the game, and you don't speak to me? Yeah, but it's more that doesn't happen than just being in Cleveland. You know what I mean? That probably just took the icing off the cake, you feel me?

**Chad Johnson** (1:44)
Right, right.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:45)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:47)
I wish I had known, because I'd have had Oak come over here and tell you what will happen. It ain't too late.
But it's, man, what the hell he is. I'll report back to y'all when he tell me. He'll probably want to come over and tell you his damn self. So I don't misconstrue anything.

**Chad Johnson** (2:07)
Oak probably got a lot of pressure right now. He needs to get off his chest, the stuff with the Knicks at the Garden, James Dolan, now Patrick Ewing.
And he probably just need to release some stress, man. Like just let it all out. Ask Oak if you want to fight.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:23)
Fight who?

**Chad Johnson** (2:24)
Me.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:25)
Come on, man. Chill.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:27)
Nah, I'm just-

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:28)
Yeah, Oak, what about you? Yeah, he don't chill now.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:32)
I'm like, bro, we got to chill.

**Chad Johnson** (2:33)
So he can release all that anger, man. And you can just use me as your punching bag and then let all bygones be bygones.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:42)
The Oak man look. Like I said, when everybody tell the stories, what do they tell? Did anybody say, man, do step the Oak like Oak?
People don't realize how big- Oak don't have a basketball body. Oak got a football body.
Oak strong. Damn, listen. Now, I'm talking about physically, I'm talking about weight room strong, I'm talking about Oak's court strong. Oak is a strong, big-ass man. Hey, hey, when he come by that business, he ain't going to do a whole lot of damn talking. He ain't going to do nothing. He's going to ask you one time, you got my money? Hey, hey, hey. You either say, yeah, I got it, or if you say, Kyle, before you say the Oak, no, he's slapping the five footer. Hey, I've been. I'm telling you, I know him. Like I said, I've been knowing him 30 plus years. Hey, if you borrow money from him and you tell him you're going to give it back at a certain date, have that man money. Or go borrow the money that you borrowed from him, borrow from somebody else that you know came with you and you can pay them when you want to. Because if you owe him money, he going to knock five footer. Hey, listen, I've been in the gym, bro. When I, I done seen it go down myself, Uncle Ocho, meaning here in Atlanta, we should play at this athletic club over here in Buckhead. I ain't, you know, I ain't going to necessarily call out no names, but when he walked in, it was like a loose pit bull. You hear me? And he ain't say nothing. We was miss hooping in the midst of playing a game. Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, wop.
