Smart is hot-headed. Kicked a chair one time and today he shoved a fan. Fan probably deserved it but he still shouldn't have done that. Shows he has a problem controlling his temper.
You been to games? I'm an Eagles fan and visited the vet so maybe I got thick skin but shoving a guy who looks to be his grandad's age
This is what we call a Red flag. GM's around the league just revised their draft board. His loss is their gain. He gets less and they pay less because of his draft position. Did Cousins ever shove a fan in College or Artest or Vince Carter? Serious question.
He had to be pulled off the floor. He was not having a manic episode because he just kept going on and on and on on ESPN.
He just had a Meltdown.
Pass. Close game. They lost. He was clearly more upset with his situation...that he caused btw.
he certainly did, at a crucial moment in the game no less.
what was as worrisome was him yelling and pointing at the ref after the push on the fan. this is simply ugly and OSU and the conference should come down on smart for being....well, not so smart.
this may be an isolated moment in an otherwise stellar lifestyle. but i am quite sure a herd of nba execs and scouts are now asking questions and reviewing film to check out smart's ability to control his temper.
i expect the conference to suspend him for a number of games, the only question is how many.
compounding this may be be coach's ability to control his team. another player, stevie clark, was dismissed from the team earlier in the month. here is some background...
"Clark was arrested Sunday and charged with "outraging public decency," his third disciplinary issue in the past few months. He was also charged with marijuana possession on Jan. 1, and had been suspended four games earlier this season for personal reasons."
