Jahlil Okafor got into a fight in Boston after last night’s game

TMZ Sports has the video of Jahlil Okafor getting into a fight after the Sixers collapsed against the Celtics last night.

19-year-old Okafor was screaming at the other man, “We got money you broke ass n**ga.”

A scuffle ensues — people tried to hold Okafor back — but then he escapes and swings wildly at another man … connecting … and sending him flying to the ground.

In the melee, Okafor tumbles to the ground and a man in a green jacket tries to punch the 6’11” superstar in the back of the head.

We’re told everyone got up and fled the scene and 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.”

So if this is true… a Celtics fan heckled Okafor. He responded by basically saying ‘yeah, we still get paid tho’… and then it escalated from there.

I do not condone confrontational behavior from fans. There’s no need to be idiots out there. I say let these guys live their lives in relative peace.

BUT…

That shit is going to happen in basically every city, and athletes can’t lose their shit when it does. You gotta represent yourself better than that. Inexcusable behavior from Okafor. (I’ll look the other way on the 19 year-old in a bar… I’d be doing that too if I was in the NBA at 19)

    Celtics were in a coma for 40 minutes of the game and still won, 76ers are awful, Jahlil better get used to the heckling. It will only get worse from here, as everyone will be baiting you for civil lawsuits left and right. Or you’ll goto jail, and so much for your money…

    Totally confused at the end isn’t that a cop car? Or is that just like a rent a cop thing with a yellow light? Any body?

      Never mind I answered it myself it’s a security car, well done security officers hope you enjoyed the show and not doing your job in protecting people, I work as a security guard for my career and if you have time to park your car like that plenty of time to call cops immediately and intervene to control the situation til police arrived, I don’t see not one uniformed guard anywhere saying anything at all totally disgraceful, whatever security company you are be ashamed of yourselves
