Okafor is awesome on one end of the floor: the defensive end, He is a prolific rebounder, and a great man to man and also weakside defender, who is smart enough not to foul too much whilst also changing the opposition's entire offensive game plan with his interior defense presence.
On offense, though, he's a bit crap. He has the coordination, footwork, hands and athleticism to get many shots up. They just don't go in much. He draws fouls at a decent rate, but misses the ensuing free throws, and shoots an inconsistent field goal percentage. Increasingly, Okafor has learned not to bother trying to get his own on offense, and instead takes what is presented to him by the way of offensive rebounds, opportunity baskets, and the occasional bit of deep post position. This has increased his efficiency greatly, if not his skillset.
Emeka also missed almost all of one season with an ankle sprain, and loves hermaphrodites. True stories, both of them. (Readers note: Not ''loves'' as in physically gives hermaphrodite some genetically acceptable loving, but more as in, ''is interested in''. )
(And not ''interested in'' as in romantically, but in a purely scientifically curious fashion.)
(Oh whatever, you get me.)

Anagram: "Remake of Oak," or "More fake Oak," which would work if Oak was a 60's sitcom of some kind.
Note: As you can probably tell,
some of the nicknames were made up. Many are genuine, though, and they
are only made up in the instances where a real one couldn't be traced.
Many given nicknames are of common usage, but some are also sourced
from lesser known sources - these sources are not often cited, not because
I hate the people involved, but because there's too many to do so. For
argument's sake, just assume that the unfunny ones are mine.
In the event where more than one agent is listed, this is because the
player has more than one agent. Simple, really. This is rather commonplace
- a lot of times, a player will sign with a big agency, and they will
have both primary and secondary agents from within that agency to handle
their affairs. (Where that happens, the primary agent is listed first.)
Also, foreign players tend to have both American and domestic agents.
Where the details of such are known, they are listed. It's essentially
like a fun multiple choice game, except without the "fun", "multiple
choice" and "game" elements.
Additionally - don't sue. We're only having a laugh. There's no slander
here. Just very bad jokes.
