Jahlil Okafor owns up to recent transgressions on social media
Three strikes in three days has Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor turning to social media to express his regret.
In less than a week, three incidents involving the big man have come to light:
- Pushing and punching a man outside a Boston bar
- An October altercation in which he allegedly had a gun pulled on him
- Caught driving 68 miles over the speed limit on the Ben Franklin Bridge
And so, the 2015 No. 3 pick took to Twitter in order to accept responsibility for his actions:
I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else ever could and I'm not proud of some of my decisions over the last few months.

I own my choices both personally and now publicly. At this point I am cooperating and respecting the process I have to go through.

Going forward I don't want to be a distraction for my team and am grateful for the support and guidance those close to me are giving.

I am 100% focused on my responsibility to the League, my teammates and fans.
