Jahlil Okafor Hits Heckler For Insulting Him And Gives Him A Beating

How do you respond to your opponents when they inform you that your game is whack, do it the Jahlil Okafor way? Hmm, but don't go causing unnecessary drama lest you get a thumping. Sportsmanship is a skill that should be practiced not just in a game setting, but outside it. Was Jahlil right to have lost his temper?

TMZ reports that, It all went down after Okafor and the 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics, Jahlil and some friends went out on the town and ended up in an altercation in front of Storyville Boston nightclub. 19-year-old Okafor was screaming at the other man, "We got money you broke ass n**ga." 

A scuffle ensues and people fled the scene, but no arrests were made. We're told the altercation began because one of the men in the other group yelled at Jahlil, "The 76ers suck." We spoke with a rep for Jahlil who tells us ... Okafor says he was being heckled from the moment he left the club and felt threatened because people swarmed him on the street. He says he was with a teammate, who he wouldn't name and says someone got physical with the teammate ... so Jahlil did what he felt he needed to do to protect himself and his friend.
