Actually, he is. You just named 3 of the best defensive players ever.

I said those names as examples but It's about versatile guards, not quality, I mean all those 3 are better defenders than Smart, especially as individual defenders where Smart is overrated, he doesn't have some physical tools like size, length, speed-explosiveness, body control etc to be really an elite individual defender like these and then be historically great defender. Smart is more like a good individual defender and a great team defender and that makes him an elite defender.

Brazil wearing those nice Seattle Supersonics uniforms.

K Walker a corner 3. Nice pass to Turner.

Brazil is a good team. They're hanging tight with us.

Brazil has 5 guys, over 35.

Brazil's coach just picked up his 2nd Tech. And is slow to leave the building.

He sure has. He's played almost 14 total, out of 20.

We gotta be like near 10 years younger than that team. The active members especially.

Gotta stop letting up on them.
Brasil getting the easy baskets.

Damn, Vinny P with great pass, then bad foul on defense with 6 seconds left.

Saw a Celtics jersey in the crowd there.

Smart is like Rozier, very good in the last 5 seconds of a quarter with the shot.
