Video has surfaced of the Philadelphia 76ers first round rookie big man Jahlil Okafor punching out a Celtics fan after the 80-84 loss to Boston on Wednesday night. The fan was allegedly heckling Okafor according to ESPN’s John Goodman:
"Apparently, they said: 'The 76ers suck and you guys are all losers. You'll never win a game,' " a source close to Okafor told Goodman.
Words that minor probably wouldn’t bother your typical NBA player, unless you consider those words to actually have some validity. Now the “you guys are all losers” seems unfair, Okafor was a national champion at Duke, and prior to the 0-16 start to his NBA career, I doubt he’s lost 16 games his entire life!
