Sixers rookie Jahlil Okafor runs 5K with Kevin Hart

Philly loves Kevin Hart, so it's no surprise that people packed the Art Museum steps Saturday morning for the North Philly native's free 5K run.

Sixers rookie Jahlil Okafor joined the run, sporting a "Run with Hart" T-shirt.

Before the run, Hart stood atop the Art Museum steps praising the City of Brotherly Love, saying, "Philadelphia has to be the biggest and best city because that's where I'm from." The love for Hart was clearly reciprocated.

Hart is performing at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night in front of 53,000 people. He'll be the first comedian to headline, and sell out, an NFL stadium.
