Smart needs to cool down and get some help. Letting this stuff get to you is fine as a normal twenty year old, but NBA careers can be really short so he needs to figure things out pretty quickly. He's been melting down for weeks now.
The fan is garbage and hopefully doesn't get defended. Way too many people dehumanize opponents and refs during games and act psychotically at sporting events.

The George R.R. Martin lookalike sitting at the bottom left got a hoot out of it too.
Or a black coach too
Smart's getting helped up a couple feet from the three people.
White dude is pulling him to his feet.
Smart turns and comes at the dude.
Looks like the man says 'stop' like he's scared.
Gets pushed by Smart.
As Smart walks back to his coach/ref he says 'he ran his mouth' if lip reads are to be believed.
Not defending the dude but Smart is accountable here.
People want to jump on this race issue so bad. Fuck.
That's the point though. Other humans aren't pushing mean or (potentially racist) fans. They're PLAYING THE GAME. Shows Smart doesn't have the figurehead and needs a tighter leash/he lack discipline.
Not surprising though considering he's the rare lottery pick that came back in the NCAAs. Sure he's given the keys to Stillwater or just about with regularity.

He could use a lesson in trolling skills from Marshall Henderson
this dude is now my favorite player.

If you've ever been to Lubbock it's not much of a stretch.
Nah. Fans say all kinds of awful shit even without using racial slurs.
because stop is something that "your mouth said that it shouldnt" and now you "feel bad"
It always breaks my heart when I tell someone to stop.

Either way, gotta have composure in that situation.
Players get called names every single game

Which makes it a fact?
You find it more likely that he just shoved the dude for no reason?
Could just have easily been a sexist comment in relation to the flopping.
There are plenty of things he could have said that he now regrets because it is going to come out what exactly was said.
I've been in intense games. I've seen people fight over stupid shit.
I don't assume every shove comes after someone drops the n bomb. It's clear in this thread that many here want to justify Marcus, and are hoping for a narrative to supports that, because if that old man said " you're playing like a little bitch." Not so easy to brush aside Marcus acting like an idiot.

There are now reports that contradict this.
Will likely come down as a he said - he said.
People need to understand the context of this season, too.
OSU started the season in the top 10 and looked great, rising up to #5 and even getting a first place vote.
Then our rim protector and rebounder Cobbins gets hurt, and we completely melt down. We've been treading water at best since then, and we've now lost 4 of 5 and our hopes of making the NCAA Tournament are dimming. Our freshman stud got kicked off the team for weed and alcohol offenses, leaving us with 6 decent rotation players.
On top of that, our shitty coach (who convinced Smart to forgo a top 5 draft spot last season) is losing control of the program and will probably get fired.
TL;DR: the season is a clusterfuck and this situation is the culmination of a ton of stuff on top of whatever that jackass said to Smart.

What do you think he said?
He clearly said something to evoke that kind of reaction. It's also clear this fan is a douche.
I think more fans need to get punched in the mouth. The world would be a better place. I want more Malice in the Palace events.

Regardless of N word or not, Lol, fucking race cards. So tired of that shit. Why can't someone just be pissed at another person because they're acting like a dick?
Really..? Go to espn and watch the slowed down bit of the clip. Towards the end of the lead clip on the front page.
What if the fan said something racist or something equally terrible? Does that make Smart's reaction okay? Nope.
I'm not defending the fan - but people want to assert racism for the wrong reasons here simply based on their skin colors (and likely that it happened in Texas).
It's also perfectly possible the fan said 'keep adding to the losing streak' or something equally as shitty. We don't know.
Smart was an energized athlete that just dived into the crowd amidst a losing streak/about to lose another game. Could he be a bit irritated by ANY type of jab?
Still no Melvin Weatherwax
Remember kids, if you're a rich old guy in the crowd, you have no accountability and don't have to take any responsibility for your actions, even if you're directly associated with a major university.
I have no idea
But I'm not a big fan of easily declaring people racist with no proof or justifying senseless violence.
Same guy? Yeah, he is ones of THOSE types of fans. Probably deserved a two piece as well.
hell yeah
"Fans" are fucking ridiculous. It's like looking at a stream chat of Twitch during a big event.
For some reason because they're athletes, they're forced to just suck it up. plenty of people, even on GAF, have said "if they said that to me I'd punch them in the face" or something along those lines
There's nothing wrong with good old trash talk. A "fuck you! you fucking suck!" is fine but that's not at all that is said

But you think it's okay for this old man to call this unpaid student athlete a "little bitch"? He's just a kid, how do you expect him to react?
It's probably unfair, but players simply can't react to fans like that. The Big 12 (or eventually the NBA) will always defend the fan in this situation. He won't spend much time in the pros with that shit since every professional stadium in the world is going to have lowlifes in the crowd.
Also, I said this in the NCAA bball thread, but I feel like his teammates were a little slow on the uptake here. I mean it happened kinda quick, but they should have been up there pulling him back to the court as soon as he turned towards the old dude. I dunno, maybe it was too fast for them to do that.
Hope the season turns around a bit for Smart (and OK State). Dude is fun to watch and has a ton of potential.

Stupid. Fan knows he could have gotten away with it using the proper code words.

Is this comedy?
part of me agrees with this.
don't want no shit won't be no shit basically but then again....
regardless, this is a 20 year old kid in the moment of stress. He lost his cool. N Word, getting called a bitch, or whatever just made a bad moment worse.
Both parties come out of this looking worse....but the actual adult should know better
boiled goose
good with gravy
The girl in top right saying oh shit is the best.
If fan said a slur obviously he is scum. That said a player should keep his cool.
UH yeah?
It's just basketball...calling someone a Nigger and then expecting them to just take it is some chickenshit behavior and you deserve to get a mudhole stomped into you. That word isn't something yo just throw at dudes like that...it means something.
Obviously I don't want games to break out in to giant brawls, but the entitlement of some fans is amazing. Fans in the crowd think they can, and 99% of the time do, get away with pretty much anything. It is hilarious to see some dude call a player a racial slur/shit talk him (depending on the report you read) and then get upset when he gets pushed back.
