Marcus Smart just went at a fan...

[DallasTxRep]

Inexcusable.....plain and simple

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Damn that sucks. He is going to be punished, no doubt about it. Hopefully they realize he is still 19 and maturing and don't come down too hard on him.

 

[mastermind]

Did anyone figure out what the guy said.

I love how 90% of the board is assuming the worst. Always looking to excuse the athlete immediately.

And if he did say some foul shyt, does anyone think that's the first time this man has ever heard foul shyt from a fan. Like his whole life every crowd was just cheering for him? Gotta be able to know how to block that shyt out if you wanna be a pro athlete.

I feel you.

A fan should be allowed to say whatever the fukk they want with no repercussions. I know you probably empathize with dude since you've said some stuff to an athlete that you would never say to them outside of that setting.

 

[DallasTxRep]

wait so is he dropping enough for the mavs?

We just need 1 more outburst out of him

Dude don't play that angle, because all you gotta do is look on here and see the foul shyt people say about athletes on the regular. Dude wish people would die or get serious injury.

I honestly never been that close to talk trash, illl admit i`ll say shyt like "kill that motherfukker" when someones trying sack the QB.

Fans should not be allowed to say whatever they want, but since we don't even know what the guy said, it's hard tp even discuss if that action was justified.

If he used a the n-word do you think that action is justified? Also, do you think it was the first time someone used the n-word towards this athlete?

I`m interested.

Radio analyst John Holcomb confirms what he said on air: He heard Marcus Smart say the fan called him the n-word.



Part of me hopes this is true so Smart doesn't get as villified. I mean you gotta control yourself, but the media circus is gonna kill this dude with round the clock coverage.

if true

Smart still shouldn't had pushed dude, but the powers that be gotta address the fact that these fans are getting out of control, something needs to be done if 19 & 20 yr olds can be badgered & harassed at this level and no one says a word

 

[Bone$]

perfect storm for faux outrage...is there really no more football games brehsh

 

[DallasTxRep]

Inexcusable.....plain and simple

unless he really did call him a niggga

 

[Panther]

Reading through espn comments and apparently the dude who was pushed has been seen clowning before. Not to say he deserved to be pushed but

breh, im agreeing with you. Fans should be allowed to say anything they want to athletes. I know you've probably said something in the past that you wouldnt say to said athlete in a restaurant or at a street, but in the stands? Say all the wild shyt you want, you are protected because you paid for that seat. On top of that, when those athletes are in their workplace, they are no longer people but pieces for our entertainment.

And I am sure the fan who abused the professional Marcus Smart sympathizes with Smart, and would like to re-establish the Black Star Line.

 

[mrken12]

What do you expect people to say? That he is a fine, upstanding young man?

I hope that they would say that he's a passionate player who got caught up in the moment and was agitated by an unruly and most likely inebriated fan.

 

[drifter]

What's probably lost in all this for people telling how dude should've handled it is, dude is only 19-20 years old. You can't expect somebody at that age to handle every single thing like a full grown adult, especially not when the person who instigated it is in their 50s-60s. It's like athletes can't be humans at the same time.

He's in the wrong too though, if not only because he didn't finish the game along with his teammates on the floor. But hopefully he's not suspended the rest of the season.

And somethings got to be done about this storming the court stuff, shyt was cute at first now it happens every game

 

[Born2BKing]

Hope it doesn't lead to any severe punishment for him. I'm thinking a 2-4 game suspension and possibly a bit of anger management.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I salute Smart
