Re: Jahlil Okafor
Kid is 19. Why is he going out to bars at all?
Thought it was funny he used a fake ID. "Hmmm Mr. Papageorgio, it says here you're 5' 11"...."

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Jahlil Okafor
In late October, Okafor allegedly presented a fake I.D. at Misconduct Tavern in Center City, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. Okafor, 19, was refused service, the sources said. One of the sources said he was surprised because Okafor is “a big guy” and “famous” and “pretty easy to recognize.”
Over the weekend, the Philadelphia Inquirer also reported that Okafor was stopped for speeding on the Ben Franklin Bridge while going in excess of 100 miles per hour (Update: He was cited for speeding and reckless driving by the Delaware River Port Authority). While the team was in Memphis on Sunday, Brett Brown called the reports “concerning.”
On Thanksgiving, TMZ posted a video that showed Okafor getting in a physical altercation outside a Boston nightclub. The incident occurred more than a month and a half after the most-alarming situation to date. According to a witness and two separate reports filed by the Philadelphia Police Department and U.S. Park Rangers and obtained by CSNPhilly.com, Okafor had a gun pointed at him during an argument outside an Old City nightclub on Oct. 4 after 2 a.m.
Okafor and an acquaintance got into a disagreement with two men parked in a car near the corner of 2nd and Walnut Streets when Okafor tried to punch the driver through the open driver’s side window, according to a witness. The passenger then exited the car and pointed a gun at Okafor and an acquaintance before U.S. Park Rangers arrived on the scene and chased the gunman off, per the witness and both reports. The gunman was not apprehended, and the driver fled in a black Camaro with red stripes.

He's trying to singlehandedly change the perception of Duke basketball players being goody-two-shoes pansies.

Re: Jahlil Okafor
Playing for Philly (and prolly being one of the only two people in the org to give a crap about winning) right now is not good for the old sanity meter.
Re: Jahlil Okafor
This dude has some serious problems. He is going to get shot if he keeps this up.
