In this VladTV flashback, Tim Hardaway & Charles Oakley spoke about the social climate in wake of the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests and how players used their platforms to amplify justice-based movements. Tim Hardaway detailed how players being this outspoken wouldn't have worked in the 1980s and 1990s. Adding to that, Charles Oakley described how LeBron James is "a different animal" from Jordan off the floor due to his social advocacy and political engagement. For Oakley, LeBron is of the Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-ilk.
