Charles Oakley, Carole Baskin Doing ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Over the last few years we’ve learned Charles Oakley is not just an NBA legend but also a chef. He even had his own show on The Ringer called Tough Chef. Now the former 18-year NBA vet and all-star is taking his talents to the dance floor as a member of the 2020 Dancing with the Stars celebrity cast.

The cast was announced today on Good Morning America. Other athletes include two-time Pro Bowler Vernon Davis and Olympian Johnny Weir.

One other name that’s sure to get some attention is Carole Baskin from Tiger King fame. The Netflix series was a legit phenomenon right at the beginning of everyone’s quarantine and she’s cashing in on her limelight. Good for her.
