Yeah dudes… that’s 6′3″ in metric. Duh.

Looks like it says 6′9″ in the article. Which is 205.7cm in Canadian, just in case you were curious

That picture brings warm feelings to my heart, remembering two of the best rebounders and in-game actors to ever grace the hardwood. And if he comes back at 43, who else is next?

in canada we measure in centimeters, and when we use feet it is the same as in the US

Cavs should buy him for a year, 8 mil just to see what happens. LeBron and Charles Oakley. Worth every penny.

i’m saddened that you people aren’t more excited about oak’s upcoming book.

Mutoni, we’ll just wait on the SLAM Cliff’s Notes version with running commentary and talkback comments. You can’t beat that.

its funny when you ask ‘Are these measurements in Canadian?’ inferring to old joke about our weak currency. but that joke has run its course and if you check the figures, the CAD is basically on par with the US and once some of the old 10 year treas. bonds mature (along with Can. gov not supporting the green back to help exports), it will be our turn to ask ‘ Are these measurements in American?’…

I was in Vegas last week, and some of my friends went out and I stayed in. When they got back, they said they had partied with Oak. I asked if he was as crazy in person as he seemed in the stories I’d heard. They said yes, and that the girls he was with were DIRTY. (emphasis by my friends)

Oak is one of my favorite players from the nineties… Didn’t he have his own brand of sunglasses? I looked it up, he still played in the ‘03-’04 season, only four seasons ago, and still able to average 1.3 ppg and 5 rebounds. Well, that is, 5 rebounds total, in 7 games. That’s like, not so much. Perhaps he was a little over his prime… just barely.

Did you read the other posts? The article originally said he was 6′3. They corrected it.
