Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Isaac Okoro was born in January 2001, five years after āThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Airā ended its legendary run.Ā In that sense, you can hardly blame the Cavs youngster for not being up to speed on his āFresh Princeā trivia.
But, despite his youth, teammate and noted jokester Javale McGee isnāt 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 Cavsā locker room for a lack of āFresh Princeā knowledge.
āWhere is Will Smith from in the āFresh Prince?ā McGee asked.
Shamefully, Okoro was unable to come up with an answer:
McGee then turned to Cavs teammate and white guy Dylan Windler ā who was born in 1996 ā and asked the same question. McGee even threatened to take away Okoroās āBlack cardā if Windler knew the answer.
Windler couldnāt come up with the answer right away, though itās unclear if he was on the cusp of getting it. Before he could, though, Okoro interjected, shouting āWest Philadelphia!ā from across the locker room.
However, Okoro doesnāt 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, McGeeās question was not exactly difficult trivia. The answer is not only part of the premise of Will Smithās iconic sitcom, itās mentioned in the first lyric of the classic theme song. (āIn West Philadelphia born and raised, onĀ the playground was where I spent most of my daysā¦ā)
These Cavs youngsters need to freshen up on āFresh Prince.ā
