Charles Oakley Calls KG a “Phony Tough Guy”

Yesterday ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan held a chat session for NBA fans to submit their questions to him.  While most of the questions centered around where Chris Bosh would sign as a free agent this summer, there were a couple of Celtic nuggets towards the end of the chat session.  Apparently, for no reason at all, Sheridan wanted to let it be known how Charles Oakley felt about KG's elbow to Quentin Richardson in Game 1 against Miami.

The Oak Tree's opinion: "Garnett is a phony tough guy."

In the very next question however, he does rank Rondo as a top 3 point guard in the NBA, so there's that.  Although he does rank Derrick Rose ahead of him (just behind Deron Williams).  He and Charles Barkley must have been drinking from the same punch bowl, since Barkley ranked those two at the top as well last night during the pre-game show on TNT.  Chris Paul was sitting right there too!
