not much there but people are making a massive deal out of it since athletes attacking fans rarely happens. Wonder what the guy said.

 

[Quick]

Smart move.

 

[perfectchaos007]

At least post the video of the incident Mr. Awesome

[Dysun]

Not much of a push

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He could use a lesson in trolling skills from Marshall Henderson

 

[Htown]

the fan clearly said something to him when he was on the ground, then again when he got up, then the shove happened

wonder what it was

 

[RS4-]

Lol "disgusting behavior"

Please.

 

[akira28]

what is the old man saying?

plus love the look on dude's face...

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

what is the old man saying?

yer a jackass

 

[Buckethead]

That woman seems like a real douchebag.

If your friend/husband/whatever is talking shit, let's not get offended.

Shoving him isn't the right thing to do but yeah okay lol settle down there.e

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the guy in his 50s/60s talking shit to a 19 year old who he paid a ticket to watch is the disgusting behavior

 

[Piecake]

Ill hold off on the self-righteous condemnation of Smart until we know what the fan said.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

what is the old man saying?

"What are you looking at, butt-head? Say hi to your mom for me."

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'd like to know what the man said to him.

 

[akira28]

yer a jackass

haha wow.

 

[Rokam]

Surprised Smart didn't flop after pushing him.

 

[cdyhybrid]

RE: the outrage over this

Dude shouldn't have said anything if he didn't want trouble. People yell some vile shit at players at sporting events and mostly get away with it because they're far away.

 

[LyleLanley]

Clearly Smart shouldn't have pushed the fan but I imagine that guy said something pretty fucked up to make him do that since other than this incident I think he's been a pretty level headed guy.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He should act like more of a professional...oh wait he doesn't get paid.

 

[McNei1y]

I love Marcus Smart. I can't wait to see what he does in the NBA let alone for the rest of the year with OKST. I'm sure some obnoxious shit has been said over the years and many athletes have shrugged it off so it shouldn't be any different here but not every player is the same. Some people take shit personally. I wonder what the fan actually said.

 

[Kevtones]

What a putz.

Guy choked in the NCAAs last year, too.

Hahahahaha that is one of the best GIFs I've ever seen.

lol this dudes hilarious

he even had the opposing coach cussing him out recently

 

[McNei1y]

Fucking Henderson. Last year's NCAA's were so awesome. We had Florida Gulf Coast and Henderson trolling everyone. What a time.

 

[Zebra]

There's so many great faces to watch in this gif.

Edit: White polo might have the best.

 

[Tarsul]

it's nothing.

Actually, every other "attack" i've seen was more violent. Yeah, it was wrong. But no, it's not something to go crazy over.

 

[Devolution]

There's so many great faces to watch in this gif.

I love the guy in the white polo just smiling at the antics.

 

[sprsk]

WHAT A THUG!

 

[LyleLanley]

Hahahahaha that is one of the best GIFs I've ever seen.

Sure this has been said but OSU radio said immediately after the incident that Smart told the OSU coaches that the fan said THE word

 

[kick51]

[Draconian]

I could watch this gif all night because of how many different reactions there are. What is the thing in the top right that someone threw?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

There really are. It is mesmerizing.

Yeah this was first on my mind honestly. The n word probably came out.

 

[Mik2121]

What kind of name is FORTE III ?

 

[smurfx]

Yeah this was first on my mind honestly. The n word probably came out.

or he could just be saying that so he doesn't get into big trouble for losing his cool.

 

[Htown]

obviously he shouldn't have done it, but it's not surprising an athlete in that situation would pop off like that

Hahahahaha that is one of the best GIFs I've ever seen.

not as good as the black soccer player running across the field to slide and do this

but yeah it's quality

Looks like one of those giant head posters.

That was a stupid move on smart part, regardless of whatever the guy said. There is a reason we hardly, ever see anything like this. That was a retarted move by him that could easily have got escalated.

yep that'll do it

 

[ConradCervantes]

Marshall Henderson is the top-tier of troll athletes.

As for this situation, my only takeaway is that the fan's wife needs to tone her ass down.

Oh shit, the fan called him a nigger? Whoa.

And?


You don't set the precedent that fans are fair game, in any way/shape/form. Well, unless this is the re-drafting of the XFL/XBA.


Fan is clearly an idiot that may have said the N-word. Smart is clearly aggrr about his team's untimely losing streak. No reason to push fans. Walk away dude.

Hell, Oregon has lost 5 of 7 games by 12 points combined and the only thing coming out of Eugene is 'we have to get better'.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Dumb move by the player. Don't act aggressively with fans when there's plenty of security around to handle the situation.

 

[Cru]

Texas Tech has "Super fans"?

I dunno, I was watching it live and did not seem like that fan said much. Moreover the dude look terrified when he got in his face. Either-way that may explain his behavior but if he is lying to cover up losing his cool they should bench his fucking ass for the rest of the season.

"wasn't vulgar or the N Word" another text from Orr - #MarcusSmart

So now what?

 

[Devolution]

or he could just be saying that so he doesn't get into big trouble for losing his cool.

Pejoratives like that make the calmest people I know go from 0-60

Of course you'd prefer that he just ignore it and walk away, but the players are still human.
