Walking on thin ice
It was quite shocking to see Jahlil Okafor give into Boston hecklers last week, after the Philadelphia 76ers lost another game. It’s something the rookie is going to have to get used to and we’re sure at this point, he’s learning the hard way. Philly placed security on him following the incident, which he claimed a gun was pulled on him, but has since apologized for what happened.
What we didn’t know is the fact that a second fight broke out that night and more people were left knocked out thanks to the rookie center.
In this clip, you can somewhat see how it all went down, with folks taunting Okafor as he was walking to his car and him going bezerk on anyone that got in his way. One man was left on the floor unconscious and with a gash on his head as Jahlil and company sped off.
Just when the case was about to be dropped and things were ready to be put in the past, it seems like the Philadelphia police department will investigate and charges will be filed.
How Adam Silver and the NBA or the 76ers will react to this new evidence remains to be seen.
UPDATE: The 76ers have suspended Okafor for two games effective immediately, as a result of the second video, which was released earlier today.
