Jahlil in trouble again

[Pugz]

Trouble has found Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor once again.

The 19-year-old big man was pulled over for driving 108 mph, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.

Traveling over 40 mph is considered reckless driving.

The incident occurred on the Ben Franklin Bridge about three weeks ago, Pompey adds.

This isn't the first transgression for the 6-foot-11 Duke alumnus; a video showing Okafor shoving and punching a man outside a Boston bar surfaced Thursday.

Additionally, the No. 3 pick in June's draft allegedly had a gun pulled on him during a separate fracas back in October.

its hard when you're still a child.

1. He's 19, he knows the difference between being smart and not being an idiot
2. You could argue these guys who are making 4.5M at the age of 19 not only should but do grow up quicker than the average 19 year old

i agree but thats not always the case. the team needs to order a mentor or something for him.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Or have vets, like Minnesota lol

Although I condemn his behaviour and I don't feel sorry for him. Seeing that much money at 19, and money you've never seen before in your life is a lot to handle at once. I would hope if I was in his position that I would get some guidance for sure though

I'm not sure I could handle it, and I'm 24.

i'd be doing blow constantly, tripping my balls off, spending my days in a booze-filled haze, driving drunk, and assaulting anyone that tried to give me shit if i was a tenth as good at basketball as okafor is. 
 
good for okafor, society has dictated that he's better than everyone else because he can put a ball in a hoop.  might as well take advantage of that ludicrosity (is that a word?  if not it is now) and commit petty crimes.

instead of trying to lineup a guy to help mentor this kid the team buys him a security guard

 

[Pugz]

hes been suspended two games by the team

This could drastically alter the 76ers season
