Toronto's Charles Oakley and Philadelphia's Tyrone Hill were both kicked out of a 2000 preseason game when Oakley slapped Hill in the mouth during warmups.
It turns out Hill owed Oakley $54,000 from a dice game and was slow to pay up. Eric Snow explained: "Every time we play each other, Oakley says something about Hill. He'll say "Where's Hill at?"
Later that same season, Oakley was suspended again after throwing a basketball at Hill face during a shootaround. Hill eventually settled up, but because of his "coward move," Oakley insisted that he pay double.
"A gentleman pays his debt within a week or two," Oakley said. Because payment was deliquent, Oakley charged him double, saying, "Everything in life is double. If he didn't pay me $108,000, he didn't pay me."
