The Hoops Manifesto awards its NBA Feud of the Decade award to....... Charles Oakley and Tyrone Hill.
This is by far my favourite sports feud of all-time. Apparently in the summer of 2000, Hill lost $54000 to Oakley in a dice game. Yes, a dice game (I told you this was a fantastic feud!). By the time the 2000/01 season kicked off, Hill still hadn't paid Oakley the debt, so things started jumping off. The Oak tracked his adversary down before a preseason Raptors-Sixers game and slapped Hill in the mouth, getting himself suspended and fined. Then, later in the season during a pregame shootaround Oakley started firing basketballs at Hill, hitting him in the face with one. Eventually Hill paid his debt, prompting Oakley to give this magnificiant quote to the media about it: "A gentleman pays his debt within a week or two". Sounds like Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton should have paid attention to this advice.
