Jahlil Okafor just as impressive off the court as he is on it
Posted Dec 28, 2012
Jahlil Okafor is being courted by the biggest names in college basketball. Kentucky’s John Calipari, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, Louisville’s Rick Pitino, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and others from a host of schools including Georgetown and North Carolina have all attended one of his games or practices. Yet the only person Okafor is truly trying to impress is someone who has no connection to basketball, and who is no longer on this earth.
