     Video seems to show Okafor hitting a fan after the fan taunted him. Street fighting and losing your cool as a professional athlete who makes millions is not a good thing but at the same time fans shouldn’t talk smack out on the streets to professional athletes and expect no potential consequences.

       Okafor tried to walk away… & the guy assualted his friend & Okafor defended himself…. He KO’d the dude Stiff as a Board….. If it was T-Rex he should remember to tuck his chin when he talks trash to a guy w/ hands the size of a catcher’s mitt…..

     I don’t understand why people think they can talk crap to pro-athletes without some kind of retaliation.  Okafor should have walked away though because you never know what could happen in a situation like that.

        Does the concept of "fighting words" apply in civil court?  If not, it definitely should.  No one should be rewarded for being a douche.

        That doesn’t make him smart it just makes him a jerk who heckled a 6’11 man into knocking him to the ground.  As far as I’m concerned he doesn’t deserve a single cent if he sues Okafor.

          You have no right to strike somebody because of what they say to you.  So much for the "Holie than thou" Pukies.

     Avoid the clubs and in Boston the population is smaller but if you do research Massachusetts is the most violent state in the northeast, a lot of years running. Based on population it has the most violent situation, yes more than Philly and NY based on population. When you are in anothers city there is a hazard no matter where you are from, hello. Any person thats gottem around state to state would know that. The guy starting with Jah is a idiot but word to the wise like I said.

     As the saying goes…f*** TMZ! Okafors on my fantasy team and has been one of the most entertaining players to watch this year.

    4 game suspension sound about right? Wrotens coming back Decemeber 11th I’d like to see a poll seeing who people think will return first. Oak or Wroten.

    If there’s a court case does the case have to settle before he can return?

    What’s gonna happen?

     The guy was baiting him. Paul Peirce issues started in the club, Aaron Hernandez issues started in the club with gang members. Hernandez went on to kill a friend and shoot another because he sprayed and killed the two from the original club incident. Please guys avoid these clubs. Bring the girls to the hotel. Lay low.

      So what if the giuy was baiting him?  This is another consequence of the one and done era.  You have guys who aren’t mature enough to handle being a professional athlete.

     He is a man first. Athlete second. He did the same thing any rational minded person would do after trying to avoid confrontation. It may cost him some money but now everyone knows not to play with him….

     It is the truly brave man that can turn the other cheek and walk away without incident.   There is no real value in knocking out a loudmouth clown.  Now he will need to spend many hours and dollars in court rooms and answer 10,000 questions about an incident that never would’ve happened had they just walked away.  It’s easier said than done to just walk away but that what makes it brave.

    I’m not ready to conclude one way or other based on current video that outs there, but not sure everyone should just immediately conclude that okafor was acting in defense. The vid shows him being louder, more aggressive and approaching and striking the other people, not other way around.

     There has got to be more to the story than a fan simply yelling that the "76ers suck"(according to TMZ).  I mean good gracious, talk about thin skinned if that is all that it took.

    My only explanation is he was drinking alcohol (which, who of us didn’t when we were 19?).  The drinking may explain why he was so easily provoked if that is indeed all that happened.  Will be interesting to see what comes out of this.
