If I went back in time and told the past version of DTB who was alive in 2016 that, in the year 2019, I would not only be making a Jahlil Okafor 17-point highlight video, but I would be excited about it, the past version of me would laugh in my face. Straight up laughter….

Jahlil Okafor 20 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
I really wanted to enjoy these Jahlil Okafor highlights. I really, honestly, truly did. But I can’t. It’s not Okafor’s fault in any way. He played the same way that he did in Philadelphia, a style which was somehow aesthetic, clumsy, powerful, skilled, plodding, and polished, all combined into one unholy morass. The basketball part…

Jahlil Okafor subbed out of this game with 5:45 left in the third quarter and the Pelicans leading the Bucks 80-74. He never got back in, and the Pelicans lost 115-123. The Bucks, more specificially Brook Lopez, didn’t know what to do about him. It’s almost like people have gone for so long without seeing…

Jahlil Okafor was really hearing it from the Philly Phaithful tonight. I would normally say that the reason for the boos was because Philly fans are the worst fans in the entire universe, but they have a legitimate point: Okafor was pretty much, in their opinion, a huge bust and they wanted to make sure…

The Nets are investing in Jahlil “Jersey Dropper” Okafor. They traded away Tyler Zeller so that there would be no impediments to him receiving minutes. He’s probably not beating out Jarrett Allen for the starter’s gig any time soon, but he’s probably going to be getting semi-consistent minutes from here on out. That’s what you…

No exaggeration, Jahlil Okafor made Karl-Anthony Towns his bitch tonight. Just straight up abused him, repeatedly. I’ve been told that KAT is learning how to play defense this season; that claim has now been revealed to be a dirty, devious lie, a blatant fabrication to get him into the All-Star game. It worked, but you’d…

Somehow, at some point, the narrative on Jahlil Okafor switched from “he’s one of the worst players in the league” to “he’s being unfairly marginalized on the 76ers, he would be a beast on a different team”. And I’m not cherry-picking these opinions. By the middle of his second season, it was agreed by nearly…

Last year we were robbed of the opportunity to see late-season Jahlil Okafor because he injured some body part or another. As any fan of NBA scrubs knows, the end of the season is prime time for huge scoring performances from mediocre players on bad teams. I have no doubt that Okafor would have averaged…

I guess it’s okay that Jahlil Okafor didn’t end up getting traded. Despite how much everyone from fans to owners to concessions workers to Joel Embiid hates him, it’s unlikely that he find a bigger role on another team than the one he has in Philly. Maybe the Lakers, but that’s about it. It has…

How is Jahlil Okafor still on the Sixers? I was told like a million times by a million different NBA pundits that he was gonna get traded, hell, he was even seen shaking hands with all the coaches and stuff and then he didn’t go on the team’s next road trip. Either one of those…
