Early into his third NBA season, Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor is quickly establishing himself as one of the best big men in the game. As the chiseled face* of the Charlotte franchise, Okafor is shooting 52.4% from the field, while averaging 16.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, and a ridiculous 3.1 blocked shot per game. Throw in some center-eligibility with those numbers, and it's easy to see why he's a fantasy geek's wet dream.

Last week, Okafor dropped by the Sports Bloggers Live studios to talk ball -- and the One Million African Lives initiative -- with hosts Jamie and Chris Mottram. It's an entertaining listen as Emeka discusses the 'Cats rough start to the season, his favorite yoga stretches, cleaning up Adam Morrison's defensive mistakes (and his appearance), and much, much more.

* I found this on Okafor's personal website:
With chiseled facial features and a killer smile, Emeka Okafor could easily be mistaken for a model rather than a rising NBA star dominating the paint in arenas around the country.
Wow. 'Chiseled facial features and a killer smile,' eh? If we ever get 'em around here, $10 says that's exactly how our FanHouse leader's biography starts.
