The Timberwolves recently moved a whole bunch of players in order to acquire a whole bunch of other players from, like, three other teams. IN THE SAME TRADE. Some picks went zipping around as well. I’ve totally lost track of what exactly happened, if I ever knew at all, but one thing I know for…

Until Giannis Adetokunbo (note the authentic spelling) mans up and embraces his Nigerian heritage, Josh Okogie is Nigeria’s best hope for an NBA superstar. What, you think Al-Farouq Aminu is the better choice? I’d rather have Ime Udoka than him. Current Udoka, mind you. And what’s Solomon Alabi up to these days, anyway? I’d take…

You might think that my use of the “Okobie” nickname for Josh Okogie, which draw parallels with the late great Kobe Bean Bryant, is done in jest or in mockery. I assure you that this is not the case. Unlike most of the nicknames I assign players, which are humorous in intent and often intended…

I doubt that there’s anyone out there who’s noticed (besides me), but I might’ve snubbed Josh Okogie a couple of times already this year when it comes to making highlight for him. This is notable because there are only a handful, definitely less than a dozen, real snubs so far this season that I regret…

Apparently the refs did some things at the end of this game that some people don’t agree with. Also, various members of both the Wolves and the Warriors were screwing up/screwing around during the overtime period, resulting in a game that was almost too chaotic to be enjoyable. I could sit down and watch the…

Here’s a question for discussion: has Josh Okogie LITERALLY been better than Andrew Wiggins in the past two games? Let’s take a looksie: This game, Okogie had 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Wiggins had 20 points on 8-of-19 shooting. Last game against the Rockets, Okogie had 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Wiggins had 14 points…

Josh Okogie outscored James Harden in this game, 21 to 20. That factoid tells you all you need to know about the MVP “candidacy” of Harden. It doesn’t tell us much about the MVP candidacy of Okogie, but safe to say, he doesn’t have much of a case. Even if you tried to help him…

Tonight saw the much-anticipated head-to-head matchup of two players who have laid claim to Kobe-related nicknames. In one corner stands Josh “Okobie” Okogie. In the other corner stands Elie “Okobe” Okobo. Who will prove to the world that they are deserving of the Kobe crown, and who will prove to be an impotent loser who…

Josh Okogie, despite tying a career high with seventeen points (note for future viewers: Okogie is a rookie in this season, so “career high” doesn’t mean much), actually didn’t have a great game shooting the ball. He was fine from inside the arc, but a dreadful 1-of-8 from three. A lot of players have had…

I remember making some determination as to whether Josh Okogie can be called “Okobie” or if Eli Okobo can be called “Okobe” or if both of them can use that nickname, or if neither of them can use that nickname. However, I am too unmotivated to actually go back and check DTB’S OFFICIAL NICKNAME RECORDS…
