The 76ers lose on the court as they do in life. Jahlil Okafor is living proof.
The No. 3-overall pick was involved in an altercation outside of a Boston bar on Wednesday. Rather than deal with his hecklers like a normal athlete, Okafor opted to swing wildly and knock them unconscious.

No arrests were made.
Obviously, such an inappropriate action had to be warranted. Okafor's hecklers clearly crossed the line, possibly making comments about his family or friends.

Except they didn't.
The altercation began simply because one man yelled at Okafor, "the 76ers suck," per TMZ.
Clearly, someone hasn't paid attention to the standings, where the 76ers are dead last.
okafor will be mma fight ready by Christmas, if he brawls with every fan who says the 76ers suck.

And they're not just bad, they're historically bad. Wednesday's 84-80 defeat to the Celtics -- coupled with 10 consecutive losses last season -- stretched Philadelphia's winless streak to 26 games.
Enough for a share of the record for the worst string of defeats in NBA history.
The last team to do so, ironically enough, was the 2013-14 76ers.
If reality is enough to trigger Okafor's emotions, don't stop at "the 76ers suck." Tell him "the sky is blue," "humans need water" and "Kristaps Porzingis is legit."
Just be prepared to knuckle up when you do.
