Is the last part of his name pronounced "gee" or "guee"? Pastner says the first and demetra says the second.

Congrats. Well deserved.

I can see him getting ROY then all the NBA folks lamenting Dennis Smith not getting it as he gets drafted top 5. Then a few years later after Smith shows that he's basically a get-mine scorer and those same experts thinking, "Hmph, guess that's why he wasn't ROY."

Exact question I just came to the board to ask.

Is the last part of his name pronounced "gee" or "guee"? Pastner says the first and demetra says the second.

Are you asking if it's "jee" or "gwee"?

 

[AE 87]

Are you asking if it's "jee" or "gwee"?

No. Is the G soft (Georgia) or hard (go)?

 

[okiemon]

No. Is the G soft (Georgia) or hard (go)?

Ah. I assumed it's as in "go".

 

[Peacone36]

I've always assumed O-Ko-ghee

I did too, but Pastner says gee. Does anybody know without assuming?

Maybe ask Trey Glock

 

[Peacone36]

There is one way to find out.

I'll let you know when I know

For some reason, every time I say Okogie streak down the court and fly by defenders I get the thought: "Man, he needs to put on some pads and play WR for CPJ"

Size, speed, athleticism, and leaping ability. Of course, he could also get himself crushed and hurt his bball game, so I'll that thought on this board...

From his bio on ramblinwreck.com, "(pronounced oh-KO-gee with a hard G)".
