Much has been made of Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie's "process." Determining whether it's a cleverly calculated scheme or just a series of curious gambles will have to wait a year or two until the fruits of his labor prove to be either sweet and nutritious or sour and rotten.

Until then, we've been told to simply "trust the process."

After landing yet another center with their No. 3 pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, Duke University's Jahlil Okafor became the Sixers' third center to be acquired by the team in as many years.

The team held a press conference Saturday to introduce their three new rookies: Okafor, Richaun Holmes, and J.P. Tokoto.

Okafor said all the right things while fielding questions from the reporters on-hand, however one simple, albeit misinterpreted, gesture near the end of the media opportunity has netizens chuckling over their keyboards.

While it appears as if fellow teammates Holmes and Tokoto prepare to gently fold their respective jerseys, Okafor nonchalantly tosses his down.

In order to alleviate any potential confusion, it is worth noting there was in fact a table, not seen in the camera shot, upon which the players laid their new threads.

Good thing Okafor has found his vocational niche in professional basketball because he wouldn't last a day folding shirts at Old Navy.
