Jahlil is so young. There is no reason to count him out. He can definitely go on a roster as well as work on his game

@Lakers fan This didn't age well

[@almightysosa35]

Look at him now lol

[@rossjn9885]

AWolve I blame the Philadelphia 76ers for not developing both Okafor and Nerlens Noel. Both added jump shots to their game to "adapt" but were never given the support to thrive that was afforded Joel Embiid. Teams like the Clippers, Hawks, Spurs, Jazz who have a need and low risk to take a gamble on a still young talent at Center should be looking forward to the opportunity.

[@jm-xb1kv]

Except Noel played well in Philadelphia. And he should have accepted a backup role to Embiid. He would have gotten 20+MPG and would have started 20 games this season when Embiid was hurt. He was offered $70 million, turned it down, and then fired his agent. Okafor and Noel have problems with their attitude and work ethic. And you gloss over the improvements of Ben Simmons, Embiid, and Saric since being drafted by the Sixers.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

j m Saric is trash. Absolute garbage.

[@stefanogasasira9406]

End Of Dayz LOL

[@jm-xb1kv]

You'd think if black people could be right about anything it would be basketball.

[@jm-xb1kv]

Kind of agree with some of this but it's not white people it's jews. Okafor balled out his rookie year but the team went 10-72. He pretty much proved that centering your offense around the post is dead. He put up empty numbers. Why are so many of the owners and commissioners Jewish? Jews are best at getting black people to blame whitey. And black people are more easily divided than just about anyone. So keep blaming the white man. By the way, most slaves were sold by their own people and many slave ships were owned by Jews. Pretty much how it goes today. Black people selling each other out and Jewish "people" acting in their own evil tribe. But you're right it was all the evil southern white men.

[@xaviertriche927]

Love the video but you fail to mention that Dwight and Marc both are very old and beat up and that there are plenty of Centers in this league who have 0 offensive game that start for playoff teams. Deandre Jordan, Rudy Gobert, Clint Capela, Hasaan Whiteside. So talent and “a new crop of centers” isn’t the reason why he hasn’t found a home. It’s his work ethic and attidtude.

[@dirkfade113]

Marc Gasol has NOT fallen off... his team just had an awful year and couldn’t stay away from injuries so u didn’t hear his name as much

[@sebastiannunez1652]

There were like 4 consecutive years that the sixers drafted big men 1st round thats on them

[@insanitymixes1741]

This dope asf keep doing these also you don't always have too make a mix if u don't want too because the commentary would be that good

[@thomas13r89]

Nice vid and I was wandering about Jahil. I think you should make a mix for victor oladipo and how he proved people wrong🔥🔥

[@stefanogasasira9406]

Low-Post beast but never adapted to today’s game! I really want to see him on a roster and compared to other bigs fighting for a roster spot as well, he should be on an NBA team

[@sebastienvincemartinez8011]

Very nice to see your channel expand it's content, before you barely upload.

[@aarongdukey]

He can still make it dude is young as hell!

[@stefanogasasira9406]

Great vid bro

[@treyisraellang5093]

A Wolve he is backkkkk haha. Much love sir.

[@carmeloanthony4153]

he still young so he can't be called a bust yet and hes still really good. He probably has the best low post game in the league teams just don't want him cause of his outlook and he plays no defense.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Carmelo Anthony The NBA has blackballed him. Not that hard to see.

[@carmeloanthony4153]

End Of Dayz no lmao wtf the majority of nba players are black almost all the stars are black. The nba would get nothing out of blackballing him and Adam silver is nothing like that. The reason okafor is the way he is is because he was fighting fans outside of the philly arena after games. He gets into a lot of physical altercations. Hes gonna basically be cousins 2.0 but instead of talking hes actually gonna be swinging and the NBA wants no part of that. He needs to clean up his act

[@carmeloanthony4153]

End Of Dayz deluded ppl like you are the clear reason why this world can't even come close to true peace. Just because a few white ppl that are rich owners that you read or heard about on tv or some article online doesn't make everyone racist. Ever thought that there is a white guy in starting lineups maybe because they are good? Smh

[@1stgenerationfarms130]

I like these types of vids

[@lamont7997]

He been balling out fasho lately 🔥

[@NewsomeProductions1]

Solid video

[@TySoulMusicOfficial]

He doin his thing now though let’s see how it plays out 💪🏻..I’m a Sixers fan but they did him kind of dirty and didn’t help him develop

[@nate2nice101]

Dope vid 👍🏻

[@slikdarelic]

Everyone has gotten so obsessed with the 3pt shot, theyve forgotten that any points, whether its 4, 3, 2, and even 1, are still points on the board for ur team.. And can win u a game.. Im glad he's slowly makin it back.. Fools!

[@halftimetapes]

I was literally just thinking about this the other day

[@FastBreakProductions]

This makes me so sad as a Duke fan... hope he manages to turn his life around

[@PhillyReese215]

Wth lol? Hes not on drugs dude.

[@FastBreakProductions]

Nah but like he needs to get a work ethic and actually work at the sport he hasn't ever had to

[@ballercity4263]

Crazie Devylz same dude being a duke fan it’s sad to see this but we still have kyrie irving😁

[@FastBreakProductions]

...and Jayson Tatum and all the rookies and JJ Redick and...

[@idkyew4856]

Crazie Devylz that about it lol

[@Ayebar]

Yo rewatching this and he back he averaging 20.1 and 12 in the past 3 weeks

[@bryanward8570]

I'm a sixers fan. I think some of the blame lies with us. He was drafted as an insurance policy to Embiid. We thrive in transition but draft a post up specialist? No way for him to succeed in that system, especially on defense. He's too slow to get back from the post on O to the paint on D. I hope he makes a comeback. But like the video said, the game has changed. I wish you the best Jah.

[@hoodytee]

great video.

[@Smikes]

Jahlil is too young. I think he still deserves a roster spot.

[@pinify1239]

Wow a verified channel with no likes.

[@k_lewis29]

There's rumors that he could sign with the Heat. And I hope he does

[@devinmccurry1160]

I think the nba just did him wrong and dirty, i believe if jahlil went one or 4 in the draft, he might of not even had that problem or these issues, and would probably be a allstar since the team developed him

[@michaelvickery7390]

Pretty ignorant on Marc Gasol tbh. Good shooter and probably the best passing big man in the league with Jokic set to take that torch. Gasol has just been injured the past couple of years and is getting older

[@cato12]

Just needs a chance. He got drafted to wrong team anyway.

[@camron4255]

He just got his chance and he is balling out.

[@coreyhall1266]

Actually Marc Gasol adapted to spacing the floor and can shoot 3’s

[@MikeJones-fx4bl]

He can still play I think he was blackballed

[@ThatSaintsRowFan]

I feel like Okafor still has value in the league. Post scoring is valuable, and he is good at it. There's a team out there that he could go to and just do his thing. He's still young, and can make strides in other areas.

[@kevindelosreyes9139]

the real reason was effort and dedication to improve his game lopez and gasol brothers do not really take 3 point shot but they they trained and add that to thier arsenal in order to be still relevant in this new era bball

[@nellogohard8739]

IT WAS THE PROCESS

[@timothy8985]

He’s actually just not really good and has a bad attitude. He scored a little his rookie year, yeah, but did literally nothing else and derailed the flow of the offense

[@shungokajihara8484]

The NBA’s saddest story is that of Derrick Rose but okafor had and still has potential for a team that needs young players to develop into solid role players

[@jfacts2937]

That instrumental reminds me of jcoles “how high” song.

[@Charger215onyx]

Don't believe the hype. Those 17 ppg his rookie year were empty. He had absolutely no all around game and the 10 win Sixers were better with him off the floor by plus/minus and net rating. He has a solid faceup game but severely lacks the ability to make quick decisions, not to mention his low motor and inability to defend. Trust me I watched most of the games he played in Philly

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Kendall G He was double teamed every night. That's Greatness.

[@Charger215onyx]

no he wasn't you weren't watching those games.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Kendall G You are an extreme hater. An entire paragraph bashing a young man following his dream. I'm not sure how much you watched of the 76ers 2015-2016 season but, you surely watched with an envious eye, that is a fact. Every commentator of the away games said the same thing about Jah. "Beyond his years"

[@Charger215onyx]

You're gonna lose this battle. I'm not envious of Okafor I just don't think he was any good as a member of the Sixers. There's a reason he couldn't get consistent minutes in Brooklyn. There's a reason there's no interest around the league. There's a reason the Sixers became very good when Okafor left. He does not impact winning. In fact he impacts losing at the NBA level. These aren't emotions, these are measured takes. Jah isn't good and he was never really that good. Don't get mad at me for telling you how it is.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Kendall G Informing people to "don't believe the hype" Obviously that's an emotionally driven statement, you are demanding people to overlook talent based off ignorance. This video was made for a reason. The NBA are collectively ruining Jahlil Okafor. I mean, the league is ran by clansmen in business suits.

[@peterperalta5858]

It's so sad because man that polished big man game it's awesome.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Peter Peralta Wake up dumbass. White dictatorship is destroying the NBA.

[@darrindunston8718]

Never saw it this way

[@JoshuaSmith-cg1zh]

Im always so confused bruh how hard is it for these kind of players like him or d rose to add a jump shot they have access to pro trainers and all they need to do is traaaainn

[@marione2771]

Joshua Smith that goes for everyone honestly

[@timothyree8653]

i believe putting in practical work is also important. training or practice is important but having actual experience is a necessity and in these cases whenever they play they are placed in situation where their practice can payoff or they dont get any minutes at all.

[@Sumoboi1]

this is like saying why doesnt everyone play in the nba you just gott traaaain. In reality its not how it works and not everyone can be good at something regardless of practice.

[@JoshuaSmith-cg1zh]

Ryan Suhm bro not everyone can be in the nba but those that do make it experience a different world training wise, they got access to the best coaches the time the money hell they even got technology to fucking show the arc, release, trajectory, velocity, angle, etc. And reconstruct it. Are u telling me u cant develop a jumpshot with that?

[@Sumoboi1]

dude okafor is dog shit lmao. If the NBA is racist why are trash black players like andrew wiggins making 30 mil a year?

[@pema4366]

my advice to him is , he needs to learn how to defend and run fast that will for sure keep him in nba roster

[@pema4366]

in this era if the big man cant run or defend is out

[@BK-yz7px]

Who’s watching on Jan. 30, 2019 after Jahlil has suddenly resurrected his career?!

[@imstillprocessing9581]

I seen this cat play a lot over his time with the sixers has nice post game but that's really it he can't defend and he isn't a energizer towards his teamates but if he develops a consistent 3pt shot and gets more minutes on team that's gonna give him a chance theirs no reason why he can't be a star like Joel embiid or Anthony Davis he was in the wrong place at the wrong time like u said in the video

[@loganfloyd_23]

The mavs need to give him a shot. We need big men and he could run the 4 next to DeAndre and learn from him and Dirk

[@darielalexanderhilariosori3171]

Wait for the tutorial to how to edit

[@bfelt33]

how can a big that can score really well be outed from the league ?? if you can score in the post then you should be on a roster. Joel Embiid is a pure post guy

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

B Felt Embiid is a pure bum. The league is rigged precisely for players like him. To slow the game down for big idiots that move too slow and can't dribble. Basically white guys and, lousy Black players.

[@julianl3562]

Time for the comeback

[@9042jeremy]

I think another video points out that he doesn't pass once he gets the ball and he doesn't really commit to play D that's what's make teams don't want to play him

[@DeTayvion23]

the hawks should take a chance on him they need a damn center hell they need anything imagine a Jahlil Okafor Trae Young duo that’s op

[@emanuelyoung2382]

I believe he still a quality player and his big man skills is needed he just need good training and coaching with quality minutes

[@ahmsalah8529]

he can knock out threes,play in the post,and have an acceptable defense,only his rebounding is his weakness

[@j_the_don5160]

He is just a younger Whiteside except his post defense isn't as good. Maybe if it was 1990 he would excel but now there is no point in having a big man who cannot at the least shoot a middy like Tim Duncan.

[@dvo1245]

The only reason all this small ball is popular is because there are no really talented big men that focus on owning the paint, it's bout 2 change back cuz now there's a few more talented big men coming in2 the league & once they understand how easy it is 2 get dunks, layups & put the other team in foul trouble all night, big men down low will once again have a footprint in this current NBA... hope all these teams made for small ball are ready cuz most teams aren't equipped 2 handle paint pressure anymore, it'll be fun 2 watch a more balanced NBA again... I wish a 2nd coming of a SHAQ like player would come around, was pure enjoyment watching that monster eat up everybody down low!!!

[@jwool5422]

Lol u honestly think howard and gasol fell off?

[@Buzzcitylu]

I think some of it was a attitude thing remember he wanted and thought he was gonna be a laker but when philly got him you could tell when they introduced him he didn’t want to be there and didn’t he get in a couple of street fights plus there’s videos of him literally just standing still on d not guarding not boxing out like come on ..

[@MrX-vk1jl]

what about dwight howard?

[@MsMrapplepie]

He needs to go to Europe, develop his game, and then the spurs should go after him.

[@slikdarelic]

Just the case of a copy cat league.. Meanwhile, everyone gushes over the Greek Freak.. A career 27% three point shooter.. The last time I checked, u only need 1 point to win a game.. im glad now someone has realized he's more that just a post player.. And has to potential to develop a 3pt shot, just like Brook Lopez did.. U dont give up on a player, who had a solid rookie year, and was benched in his 2nd for another player, only has 3 years in the league, and can be here for another 12!

[@kwass101]

I can’t believe everyone blames the Sixers for his lack of development. I have never seen a player with such a low motor at the NBA level. Not to mention that he has ZERO defensive awareness and is an awful passer, even for a big man. He has no one to blame but himself.

[@CollectingSoles]

he just needs to play some damn defense and get his conditioning in order. there’s always a spot for a defensive post scoring big man.

[@Slixk2good]

He would've been a hof player if he played in the late 80s early 90s

[@Eye_See_U]

The only reason why he’s not on a Roster is because he doesn’t rebound or play defense.

[@cato12]

Lakers should have drafted him

[@DHallvc]

The worst thing about it all is NOBODY says he cant play it's just he's not what people are looking for they want a fucking 7ft point guard and the other thing is he can be dominant cuz what are most bigs working on defensivly on stopping the 3 he can kill in the low post he just needs what Orlando did for dwight shooters all around him and a coach to trust him.The spurs would be great him an Walker would be solid.

[@Rui-ou2yy]

i found it funny how some people use the excuse that the league evolved and thats why these players became "not playable"... Dude you be getting millions a year practicing everyday, how cant you work to get a jumper? in my opinion these players are the what low work ethic´s looks like, look at Hassan he´s be working on a 3pt even McGee...
