Some very good quotes in here from Kevin Willis, including this one about Charles Oakley: “He dressed like a Temptation or a Four Top. He wasn’t afraid of color or anything. He could wear any style of leather or suit and pull it off, shoes on up.”

I’m just picturing Charles Oakley signing with the Four Tops… it’s not working for me. It’s just not something I’m able to see. It’s much easier to picture with with a crobar, standing over a bloody Jeff McInnis. Oak dressling like a Temptation? What the hell?

Of Tyson Chandler, Kevin Willis says, “I saw him walk in a locker room with a pair of $300 jeans on. They were too short for him, and he had them way down on his hips so they would look like they were long enough and he had his shirt out over them. He sure needs some help.”

On Nick Van Exel: “Nick will put together a brown and cream plaid sport coat and turn around and put on a brown and beige plaid shirt under it and then put on solid beige pants and brown crocs (shoes). I’ve seen him do it. Or he’ll have a sports coat with the vest connected to it, sewn together. I just say, ‘Oh my god, Nick, no, no no, no, no.’ ”

It’s hard to even picture that Van Exel combination. I read it slowly and try to picture it in my mind, trying to figure out what goes where… it’s like doing a math word problem. I can’t get it all to fit together. My favorite part of the quote is the, “I’ve seen him do it,” like no one would believe it without an eyewitness. It’s like in Half-Baked where the Real World guy says, “I SEEN HIM!” after Bob Saget announces what he did for coke.
