Jahlil Okafor didn’t throw jersey to the ground

There has been a video going around the internet that appears to show Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor dropping his new jersey to the ground like it was a piece of trash. Of course, the video went viral.

However, as we should know by now, you shouldn’t always believe what you see on the internet.

As it turns out, Okafor didn’t just drop his jersey to the floor. Instead, he laid the bottom of the jersey onto a table that was below him before quickly folding the top. The problem was that Okafor is so tall no one could see the table on television.

So, let’s all relax.

Jahlil Okafor does not openly hate Philadelphia… yet.
