...Charles Oakley's comments recently about the drug policy and rampant violations around the league certainly raised a few eyebrows from fans and commentators. Ultimately, though, the news was rather un-newsworthy. But the veteran power forward has seen a lot in his career, and as one of the last of a dying breed of pure hustle, minimally talented players in the NBA, there may be some sage-like wisdom in his rather nonchalant assessment of recreational drug use among professional athletes...

Pale and hyperventilating on the stand, he backed off earlier claims that he saw Lewis throw a punch and overheard co-defendants REGINALD OAKLEY and JOSEPH SWEETING admit to stabbing someone. The flip-flop testimony raised questions about whether cops rushed judgments and overlooked evidence. Prosecutors are trying the patience of Judge Alice Bonner, and may wind up resting their case this week without linking Lewis to a murder weapon. Observers say they would...
