Brian Gaines+FollowShaq Admits: Ruben Patterson Was No JokeWild story from The Diesel himself! Shaq just gave major props to Ruben Patterson, saying the so-called "Kobe Stopper" once hit him so hard in Lakers practice that he actually asked Phil Jackson to switch his defensive assignment. For context, Shaq rarely admits anyone could move him in the paint, so this is big respect. Patterson may not have had the flashiest career, but his strength and grit clearly left a mark—even on legends like Shaq and Z-Bo. Anyone else remember those epic Blazers locker room stories? #Shaq #RubenPatterson #NBAStories #Sports #Basketball60Share
Brian Gaines+FollowOak vs. Hill: The Debt That Got PhysicalUD-40 just dropped a wild story on The OGs Podcast about his rookie days with the Heat. Turns out, Tyrone Hill once skipped warmups and a whole game just to avoid Charles "Oak Tree" Oakley, who was hunting him down over a $54K gambling debt! Oakley didn't just let it slide—he made it a point to bully Hill every time they faced off. Classic NBA beef, but this one literally kept a player off the court. Anyone else remember Oak's legendary intimidation tactics? #NBAStories #HeatCulture #CharlesOakley #TyroneHill #LockerRoomTales80Share
