Jeff Teague revealed a story from his rookie season in the NBA. Teague was with the Atlanta Hawks at the time. He was trained by Tyrone Hill, who was also an assistant coach on the team. One of his teammates at the time was Duane Farrell.
According to Teague, Farrell let him know that Hill wouldn’t go into the gym as long as Charles Oakley was there. This was because Hill owed some money to Oakley. The home team works out on the court before the away team arrives and leaves when the away team gets there. But when the Hawks entered the gym, Charles Oakley was still on the court.

As soon as Hill stepped on the court, Oakley started throwing basketballs at Hill. Jeff Teague could not believe it at the time. They were grown-up men, but Oakley was screaming at Hill to give him back his money.
Apparently what Oakley was saying was along the lines of, “Give me my MFing money b***h.” Teague said, “I was like damn, this is an old a** man. I was crying, bro.”
Hill tried to calm Oakley down, but he kept persisting. Farrell was telling Teague at the time that Oakley might end up punching him. Then the security guard on the team came up and tried to calm people down. When Teague asked the security guard what happened, he revealed to him that Oakley had already beaten Hill, and this had been going on for some time now.
