Charles Oakley: still an enforcer.

Oakley was not happy with the security outside the Cavaliers’ locker room after Game 7, saying, “Touch me, see what the f–k happens” to a nearby security guard.

Warning: Explicit language

The memorable Knicks power forward, one of the best rebounders in the NBA during the ’80s and ’90s, is a Cleveland native and seemed a little more than irked that he wasn’t being allowed to celebrate with his hometown team after its first NBA championship.

Amid the mosh pit outside the Cavs’ locker room, Oakley stood tallest. It’s unclear how long he stood out there or how scared the security guard was, but Oakley got to witness something his hometown hadn’t in 52 years.
