Jahlil Okafor's father chides media over lack of POY votes for son
By Larry Brown
Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor came in second in AP Player of the Year voting in college basketball, and his family was not happy about that.
After Duke wiped Michigan State in the Final Four Saturday, Okafor's father and uncle "chided" the media for only giving the big man five of 65 votes for the award.
"Outside the Duke locker room, Okafor's dad and uncle putting on a show for the media. Chiding AP voters for only giving him 5 votes for POY," SI's Stuart Mandel tweeted.
Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky received 58 of the votes and was the runaway winner. Willie Cauley-Stein and Jerian Grant also received one vote apiece.
Okafor had 18 points on 7-for-11 shooting with six rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the 81-61 win over the Spartans, which clearly had his family feeling confident. They better check their behavior, though. They don't want to be viewed in the same way that RG3's father is in D.C.
