Jahlil Okafor And Father Take To The Streets Of Philadelphia
By Ray Boyd
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Can we put the talk of Jahlil Okafor not wanting to be in Philadelphia to rest now? He's done nothing to indicate that despite some people's best efforts to paint him as being disappointed about his new team and new city.
Does this look like a person who is upset about being here?
He is taking pictures with fans. He's walking the streets of the city. He's wearing a Dr. J jersey and he called Philadelphia "Home."
Do you need anymore evidence?
He even likes cheesesteaks.
His dad is pretty happy too and he's fully embracing Philadelphia.

I can not help but wonder if some fans genuinely want Okafor to be upset. Perhaps they want him to not want to be here to somehow justify an agenda that supports the notion that "the plan," is failing.
I do not really care to understand it.
What the Sixers have is a player who looks happy, motivated, and determined to prove that he was the best player in his class. By the way, he is healthy.
Sixers fans need to just be happy.
