Jahlil Okafor Joins Kevin Hart For 5K Run

By Ray Boyd

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Two of the biggest stars representing Philadelphia at the moment (well, one is technically a lot bigger than the other), Kevin Hart and Jahlil Okafor shared the spotlight this morning.

Hart is back home in Philadelphia this weekend for a historic comedy show at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Throughout his tour, in conjunction with Nike, Hart has held 5K runs with fans running along side of him.

This morning Hart ran in his hometown with fans along the Parkway near the Art Museum.

Okafor joined Hart for the run and appreciated Hart coming to Philadelphia and holding this event.

Also along for the run was one of the best new follows in the world of Philadelphia sports Twitter, Okafor's dad, who was alongside comedian JB Smoove.

This has to be a positive sight for Philadelphia sports fans and simply those rooting for the city itself to succeed.

Hart has been a great ambassador for the City of Brotherly Love and Okafor seems eager to embrace the city referring to it as "our city," in his post.

Looks like he's happy to be here after all.
