How disrespectful and just flat out beautiful is this photo?

The captured moment is the aftermath of Anthony Davis throwing down a putback dunk over the head of Jusuf Nurkic, a favorite collaborator among the league's best dunkers (like LeBron, who created a Mona Lisa with him a month ago). AD's teammate, Jrue Holiday, enjoyed the dunk so much, he pulled a Charles Oakley and pointed at Nurkic even though he wasn't the one who dunked on him (he did dunk on him in GM2).

If you don't get the Charles Oakley reference, let's go back to December of 1986 to a game between Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls and Dominique Wilkins' Atlanta Hawks. During this game, Michael Jordan had one of his most memorable dunks -- a one-hand poster dunk on Tree Rollins after one of his trademark one-hand ball fakes. You have probably seen it before, but the clip always cuts right after the dunk and right before Charles Oakley points right at the head of Rollins.

And we can't talk about post-dunk pointing without bringing up the "Lister Blister." The infamous dunk was done by Shawn Kemp in Game 4 of the 1992 playoff series between the Sonics and Warriors. What many people don't know about this celebrated dunk is it's also one of the best revenge dunks in NBA history. Earlier in the series, the two got into a fight after a flagrant foul by Lister. Punches were thrown and since this was the 90s, they each received a tech and were told to keep playing.

Earlier this season, Larry Nance Jr paid homage to the Reign Man by giving Mason Plumlee a less cool looking version of the "Lister Blister" celebration.

Another favorite clip of mine is this one (15 second mark) of a very young and thin Shaquille O'Neal letting putting his finger right in the face of a high school defender.

If you remember Charles Oakley back in 1987 then you probably remember when the King of New York broke Paul Mokeski's nose as a member of Michael Jordan's Bulls. You might also remember when Oakley was capable of putting up monster numbers like 26 points and 35 boards against the Cavs, which was followed up by 24 points and 21 boards against Boston's big 3 of Bird, Parish and McHale.

Who would of thought 30 years later, Oakley would still be grabbing boards, talking shit and dropping opponents to the ground in a NBA arena? On Sunday, at Staples center, the Big 3 coach suited up for the first time this season and played to a packed crowd full of celebrities, including Martin Lawrence, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Dwyane Wade.

Although it wasn't intentional -- like the slap to Charles Barkley's face at a lockout meeting a decade ago -- Oakley did give us a throwback moment when he dropped Al Harrington to the floor with a slap to the face.

Oversensitive media members and people in search of a perfect PC world weren't the only ones who got a little annoyed by Knicks legend (Yes, I said LEGEND) Charles Oakley this past weekend. A day after saying a lot of today's players are sensitive and some "should be wearing dresses while they play basketball" during the I Am Rapaport live podcast special with members of the Big 3 league, the Big 3 coach got into a heated argument with  Stephen Jackson after Oakley took him out of one of the games.

The difference between Jackson and some of the players Oakley and Gary Payton roasted during the Podcast is Jackson didn't get his feeling hurt and he wont be crying to the media, social media, his agent and team management asking for a trade or the firing of his coach. Instead, he responded by putting up numbers (23 points and 9 boards), getting the W and praising the coach during a post-game interview (with Michael Rapaport).

As for those original "sexist" comments by the man who once slapped Charles Barkley during a NBA lockout, I asked him if he thought people were overreacting to his "wearing dresses" comment and he responded with the perfect old school Knicks response I was expecting.
