It seems as though Jahlil Okafor is finding ways to enjoy himself during the NBA offseason. The Philadelphia 76ers center attended a show by one of his favorite artists, Chance The Rapper, on Sunday night.
During Chance’s set at Budweiser’s Made In America festival over the weekend, the skilled big man found himself on stage, dancing to “Father Stretch My Hand’s Pt.1” – a song that the rapper co-wrote with Kanye West for his The Life Of Pablo album.

Okafor has stated how much of a fan he is of his fellow Chicago native in the past when speaking to Rolling Stone, so it must have meant a lot to him to share the stage with the rapper.
The crowd appreciated Okafor’s inclusion in the performance, as they did last year when headliner Beyonce donned a 76ers' dress on the stage.

The former Duke star has had an eventful summer, being included in several trade rumors.
76ers fans will hope that Jahlil Okafor finds a way to continue to develop in the 2016-217 season, despite the front-court logjam that the coaching staff is faced with. Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Dario Saric will be joining Okafor and Nerlens Noel in the front court this year, presenting the team with a decision to make regarding the rotation.
