Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Isaac Okoro was born in January 2001, five years after âThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Airâ ended its legendary run. In that sense, you can hardly blame the Cavs youngster for not being up to speed on his âFresh Princeâ trivia.
But, despite his youth, teammate and noted jokester Javale McGee isnât letting the 20-year old off the hook.
On Friday morning, the veteran center posted a video on Instagram showing him roasting the rookie (and teammate Dylan Windler) in the Cavsâ locker room for a lack of âFresh Princeâ knowledge.
âWhere is Will Smith from in the âFresh Prince?â McGee asked.
Shamefully, Okoro was unable to come up with an answer:
McGee then turned to Cavs teammate and white guy Dylan Windler â who was born in 1996 â and asked the same question. McGee even threatened to take away Okoroâs âBlack cardâ if Windler knew the answer.
Windler couldnât come up with the answer right away, though itâs unclear if he was on the cusp of getting it. Before he could, though, Okoro interjected, shouting âWest Philadelphia!â from across the locker room.
However, Okoro doesnât get any credit for arriving at the answer, as the Cavs rookie obviously looked it up on his phone. McGee immediately called the rookie out.
Of course, McGeeâs question was not exactly difficult trivia. The answer is not only part of the premise of Will Smithâs iconic sitcom, itâs mentioned in the first lyric of the classic theme song. (âIn West Philadelphia born and raised, on the playground was where I spent most of my daysâŠâ)
These Cavs youngsters need to freshen up on âFresh Prince.â
