this is way overblown tbh

media making seem like he put somebody in ICU

if the guy did indeed say something racial then i have no problem with what Smart did

if it was something less then Smart overreacted but its still not that big of a deal in my eyes

Pushing a fan not that big of a deal, huh? Gotcha.

Let's wait until more info comes out (See, Duke-Lacrosse incident, Martin-Incognito, etc) before making final judgement. But whether the fan used the N word or not what Marcus Smart did was unacceptable. Unless a player reasonably believes he is somehow in danger there is absolutely no excuse for committing intentional harmful contact against a fan. Anyone saying differently is not being objective. Any suspension under 5 games is too lenient. If the fan did use the N word then Texas Tech should ban him from attending games for multiple seasons.

Icognito is a thug, bad example. Using a racial slur is unacceptable and he is lucky all he got was pushed.

i read text from Incognito/Martin

Incognito seems like a alright guy and was actually friends with Martin

its looking like Martin fabricated the whole Bully thing

The shove was no big deal really, you're right...

but I guess it has to be portrayed as a big deal to not become the normal thing. Just like if you work in retail, you can't push a customer no matter what they call you or you're gonna be the only one getting any type of real punishment.

Marcus Smart is no dangerous man or anything though lol I get your point there exactly

Found this video, too. Almost 100% sure this is the same "fan" who's making the obscene gesture right after this basket was made. Look right underneath the net in the exact same spot the fan was sitting in that provoked Smart last night. Guy looks like a total stooge. I wouldn't doubt that he said something to Smart that would've caused him to react the way he did.

This was on twitter with a pic as well....same fan.

This "superfan" supposedly says annoying shit to piss people off all the time. Honestly he probably deserved more than a shove but you need to show restraint. Weather he likes it or not, he's a role model and that's just a bad look. You can't just lose your temper like that.

In a statement, Orr said he regrets calling Marcus Smart a "piece of crap". Highly doubt something like that would illicit such a flagrant response.

LOL @ "piece of crap"

He had almost 24 hours and that's the most believable thing he came up with?

He probably said "piece of shit" instead of "crap"...but I'd think if it were something racial, it would've come out by now.

It probably doesn't matter now because espn and others have already taken the racial angle so many will have already made up their minds about what he said.

Smart needs to learn to keep his cool espeically in those type of environments because opposing fans are going to try harder to troll him now, but the fan is also an idiot for being a grown ass man taunting college students
