It has been 5 years since my last (and only, until now) Emeka Okafor highlight video. 5 years and 13 days. That video is deleted now, but for a long time it was basically the only Emeka highlight package residing on the YouTube servers. I’m gonna go watch it right now (luckily I’ve got all my stuff backed up for possible future re-uploadment), and live commentate it so you guys can get a feel for his days on the Wizards.
-He just received a pass from Nene, who didn’t leave the league for five years and then randomly come back
-Charlie Villanueva just got manhandled
-Video quality sucks bad, I didn’t know what I was doing back then
-So laggy, no audio editing
-Villanueva has never heard of rebounding
-Is that a rookie Kyle Singler?
-Greg Monroe, too small
-Midrange alert! Midrange alert!
-Monroe remains way too small to deal with Okafor’s girth
-He guns and he got it
-Jason Maxiell what are you doing?
-John Wall is finding him well but Monroe can’t do anything
-Money midrange!
There you have it. “Emeka Okafor 20 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2013)” narrated for your pleasure. These highlights seem kind of lame by comparison, but they are impressive in their own way. Because he was JUST STRAIGHT UP OUT OF THE LEAGUE FOR A SUPER LONG TIME and then CAME BACK OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT THE HECK. This is more impressive than Anthony Davis’ 53 I’m pretty sure.
