Emeka Leka Hi Meka Heinie Ho
We all knew Okafor was a good player, but I really didn't think he'd be this good this fast, with this supporting cast. Last night was the first time in 20 games that he failed to register a double-double.
There are a number of guys in the NBA right now who average a double-double. If you lined them up with their names hidden, there are only five guys who you would take over Okafor based on their points per game and rebounds per game combination:
Kevin Garnett
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O'Neal
Shawn Marion
Dirk Nowitzki
I think being sixth on any list with those guys ahead of you is a pretty impressive start to a career.
