CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) --
Emeka Okafor has been studying video of other big men, trying to figure out how to get better. He's watched some old tape of Hakeem Olajuwon, and looked at the inside moves of current stars
Yao Ming,
Kevin Garnett and
Jermaine O'Neal.
On Friday night, Okafor looked like a combination of the four, dominating O'Neal and the
Indiana Pacers with
25 points and 23 rebounds in leading the
Charlotte Bobcats to a 96-87 win.
That's the type of day I always thought Emeka was capable of. Is this guy one of the elite players of the league yet, or does he need more seasoning?
