NBA superstar Jahlil Okafor -- the #3 pick in the 2015 draft -- punched a guy in the face HARD outside of a Boston bar last night ... and TMZ Sports has the insane footage.
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 -- 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."
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.
They immediately left after the incident.
Trust the Process.
30 for 30: Broke Part II
Which is probably a good thing.
I'm sure you'd feel the same way if a Celtics player did the same thing to a Sixers fan in Philly for simply saying "Celtics suck", huh?
Just another trash Philly player. And the "We have money...." comment, another classy moment. He ought to be blaming Phillys management for their sucker use, not some fan half his size, but I guess he feels like a tough guy now? Players can never win that battle with fans and media.
And again, nobody gives a shit about the clown that was heckling him.

I think he was being sarcastic, though, I could be wrong.

Yes, because despite countless letters to governors and mayors, my idea for internment camps for them still hasn't come to fruition. I think it must be a cost issue.
Awful town filled with some of the dregs of humanity.
you can kick the crap out of a heckler. might get arrested.
Also, this isn't the first time Okafor has had an incident with a heckler. Allegedly he had a run in with a heckler in October in Philly, and promptly had a gun pointed at his head. He needs to grow up quickly. As tough as he seemingly thinks he is, this is a situation that he can't win. The world is full of crazy...

When will athletes learn nothing good happens after midnight?
But yea, I'll admit as soon as I saw that this took place at night in Boston I had a feeling that whoever that guy was that got knocked out likely had it coming . . . it's Boston.
