MEMPHIS – On the court, Jahlil Okafor had arguably the best start of any of Eastern Conference rookie.

However, his experiences off the court have been far from stellar.

Four sources independently confirmed to The Inquirer the 76ers center was pulled over on the Ben Franklin Bridge around three weeks ago for 108 miles per hour. Anything over 40 m.p.h. is considered reckless driving.

This news come days after it was revealed that Okafor had been involved with two altercations while leaving nightclubs.

The 6-foot-11, 265-pounder had a gun pointed at his head on Oct. 4 near Second and Walnut Street in Philadelphia. Then there was Thursday's early morning fight outside of Storyville Nightclub in south Boston hours after Wednesday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden.

[Remote]

That franchise has no leadership and no direction.

You just can't have this sort of thing happen.
It's reckless. He could have killed himself, or killed someone else.

Embiid don't want to wear his boot and addicted to chicken tenders and shirley temples, Okafor getting in bar fights and thinks he's in Midnight Club, Nerlens can't make a shot outside of 3 feet and Saric trying to wait as long as possible before coming over

Jahlil Beats came in the league too late. If only he had veteran leadership like Rasheed and D stoudamire to take him under their wing

The people in charge don't even respect the fans or the state of the franchise with their constant tanking so why should the players? But what he did was stupid as hell and could have killed someone.
