2022 Center Felix Okpara Thrives as an Elite Shot Blocker

Posted Jan 18, 2021
Felix Okpara takes on-court focus to another level. The 6-foot-11 center is so intent on guarding the rim defensively that he takes it personally whenever the other team scores on his watch. “It’s just like that for me,” Okpara said. “I will guard them til the end, but they’re not gonna score on me. I have to keep that strict mentality; it’s that serious for me.” (Sports Illustrated)
