Full Mandela Effect. Could've sworn earlier in his career he was listed at like 6'5 maybe 6'6 but I just checked and dude's 6'3. Thiccer than Goodwin but more or less same height. I thought Smart was measurably taller

Smart definitely looks bigger and stronger, but he can barely move. I didn't watch him play a single game in Washington but last I saw him play in a Grizzlies uniform he couldn't keep any guard in front. I know he's only 31 but legs don't get fresher as you age. I think those that think he will regain his Boston's form is wishful thinking, still a solid defender, not at all-nba level anymroe.

I was very optimistic about him the first go around. My reaction this time was, 'didnt realize he was still in the league'
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.
