Jahlil Okafor is far from bothered by being on the hit list of Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat.
“Honestly, I thought it was funny, also like a sign of respect,” said the 76ers rookie center, who dominated Gortat iin Tuesday's 129-95 preseason loss to Wizards at the Verizon Center. “This is a guy that has been in the league for a while. I’m a 19-year-old, who is out here trying to make his way into the NBA, trying to make my presence felt.
“For him to say I’m on his list, thanks. I’m not afraid or anything like that.
