“As an enforcer for teams like the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors, Charles Oakley was known as one of the toughest players in the league,” recalls hoops history major Wizznutzz. “He was also known as one of the cleanest! So it makes perfect sense that as his career wound down, Charles made the transition from NBA superstar to car wash entrepreneur.”
Oak’s car wash sideline, while not nearly as widely publicized as say, Lenny Dykstra’s infamous “Taj Mahal Of Car Washes”, consisted of multiple franchises during the height of the fashion plate forward’s stint as a Knick. Wizznutzz has licensed the firm’s classic promo tee, as worn back-in-the-day by such style mavens as James McNew and Clive Owen.
OK, I’m not actually sure about Clive Owen. But he’s got a birthday coming up in October, so you might want to buy a shirt today and keep it under wraps for a few months.
Scott bought me this tee BITD! Did you know we came this close to naming our son Oakley? I decided between that and what we ended up with while delivering. Scott couldn’t argue about it at that point.
And you know Clive is my favorite. Le sigh.
And hey, get in touch next time you’re in NYC!
