Cross Marcus Smart off the list of possible Jazz draft picks

***So essentially a middle-aged white booster was insulting a 19 year old black kid as his adrenaline was pumping during a basketball game... the kid gives a single shove without causing any obvious injury and didn't even knock the booster over ... and this constitutes that he is a bad seed and undraftable by an NBA team which is desperately in need of both talent and competitive fire from its bench.

Hmmm, I suppose this makes sense to some people, but not most.

Reportedly, the booster called Marcus a piece of crap. Whether he used "crap" or "****," it was wrong on his part. Smart's team is losing, there's pressure on him as the top player, and he gets abused by some middle-aged "super fan" in the stands. Yes, I can see him losing his cool. Not right to shove the guy, but not something that I think is going to affect his draft status.

He had a pretty troubled childhood. He spent a good amount of time in anger management during high school.....It's sad to see him take a step backwards like this, but I'm sure he'll respond well.

Really? I see a jailhouse....and jailhouse tats in his future!
 
Lol. It is more that he is lying about the racial slur to incite the race card sympathy that is so prevalent these days that bothers me. Yeah it was foolish to push the guy, but the audio from his own people (OSU) shows the guy called him a piece of crap and that is it. That is wrong to say that and no excuse, but then Smart lies and uses the race card to make what he did ok. Its getting old. That shows a seriously bad character flaw to me.
 
From what I've been hearing, it sounds like the booster had been hounding him all game and as Smart fell out of bounds the "piece of crap" comment was just the final straw. The "piece of crap" comment is on video, but the other is just going to be hearsay and may or may not have included the racial slurs. Some people say he did and some say he didn't so there is no real proof either way. Irregardless (in case Pat Kinahan is reading this post), you need to act accordingly for your job and at this point collage basketball is his job.
 
Even if he called him a piece of crap and not the N-word, the fat f#$& still deserved to get shoved. A broken jaw would have been even better. These assholes who think they can verbally assault players deserve whatever comes their way.

Orr said that he called Smart a piece of crap. Smart pulled the race card. A go-pro video surfaces that backs up Orr's claim, but dismisses Smart's. Orr has voluntarily suspended himself for the rest of the season, and Smart just looks like a bitter douchebag.

For all of you babies that are crying about fans and the things they say, I want you to dead seriously ask yourself if you've not done the exact same thing? You've never called an opposing player a "piece of crap" or worse? Really? Exactly. Get off your high horse, because you look/sound like a complete *** hat.

First of all, I have never yelled at an opposing player. The only thing I've done is boo an opposing player. Secondly, I never heard Smart pull the race card. The only report I heard was from the media insinuating that the N word was used. I am sure that Smart was upset with turning the ball over and got pissed because this guy was calling him a piece of crap. Maybe, some college student might think about calling players name but this guy is a 60 year old man who should know better. It seems like you are trying to minimize the severity of the situation because the N word wasn't said. Unless you have some video of Smart actually accusing the man of using the N word than your criticism against smart isn't really justified.

All fans have had a few fans act like knuckleheads not just Jazz fans. By the way, Fisher did lie.

You're right, I only know what I have read in the papers and online. Frankly, it doesn't matter if he pulled the race card or not. I've heard fans yell much worse things at ward ball games and Jr. Jazz games. "You're a piece of crap!" is worth shoving a fan and being suspended? Please. That guy could have said a myriad of other things and I still wouldn't be upset at him. If he had used a slur, then it would be different. If he had gone after his mom or his family, then it would be different. But as it appears, this is extremely tame and Smart is a moron.
