Sixers' Okafor 12 seconds of not playing basketball

[tboyer]

This was all over the Twittersphere yesterday. Very funny. A very tall guy who doesn't like playing basketball, getting paid a lot of money to play basketball.

Is the NBA season still going?

This guy is a bad basketball player with a bad work ethic. He will be traded for nothing, just like Nerlens was.

Rutgers style defense right there.

Does it ever really end?

He's not a bad basketball player. He is lazy and needs to get his ass chewed out. I hope this video embarrasses him and he wakes up.

I think he is a kid (actually, he is). He is NOT happy with being "second" behind Embiid and maybe third behind Noel (until traded). I believe he will turn out to be the 76ers top center. He can score and post up and easily be a 20 and 10 guy for the next decade. He can work on his passing and also be a top assist guy. AND I believe (with the right coaching and some patience-maturity) he can learn to play "positional" defense.
Noel, is gone and Embiid will most likely NEVER be healthy enough to be a full time player.

Well his dad was nearly as bad as Lavar Ball when Jah was younger. The kid should be ashamed of that tape and you can believe every team in the NBA will use that tape against the Sixers when discussing him in trade. Given the way the younger Colango has worked in the past, his moves tend to be between seasons. I would be seriously surprised if Okafor is on the Sixers at the start of next season.
