He tells it superbly.
I ran into Charles Oakley at a charity event at the Union League in Chicago back in the 80s. Man, was he huge! Not just tall but thick & wide. And, at the time I was 5'9" and around 140#. Gigantic.
Several years later, my wife & I were at the China Club and we ran into BJ Armstrong. On TV, he looked like this little bitty guy, but he was 5 inches taller than me and 35-40# heavier. And, he was one of the small guys!
Until they're right next to you, it's hard to conceive how big they really are.
