Jahlil Okafor’s dad was all smiles on draft night despite earlier reports that Okafor, like just about every other potential draft pick, didn’t want the Sixers to take him. Since then, we’ve seen Jahlil get discouraged, and then we saw him beat the shit out of people on a Boston street. Last night, in LA, his father was apparently riding Brett Brown pretty hard.

I asked Jah's Dad to take a photo with me. He said, "Only if you cover Hinkie's face on your shirt." pic.twitter.com/rbJsrcAO7a

Things are going great!
