Is he one of if not the fattest guard in the league? Check
Is he one of if not the worst flopper in the league? Check

Tell me how exactly that's hating then and leave the dumb one liners out of it.


lol dude Smart is one of the most jacked guards in the league. You need to get your tv checked if you think he is fat


At the draft combine he had the second highest body-fat % for a point guard since 2000, he's not "jacked." Oddly enough, he looked leaner then compared to now.

Aren't they still using calipers? Those things are pretty worthless. Regardless, if he still has a healthy athletic percent despite being a bit higher than average, what does it matter?

He's an incredible athlete and outhustles most of the league. And he's clearly in better shape than an Adonis like Raymond Felton, DWill, or whoever you prefer. I wouldn't call him fat period and certainly not "one of if not the fattest" PGs in the league.

Flopping doesn't make you any less tough. He flops because he's trying to get a reaction from the refs. How does that play into being tough or not? As much as he flops, he also throws his body around and takes charges from players much larger than him. Lebron flops. I don't think Jimmy would question his toughness.

Both players are tough in their own right. Neither will back down from a fight. Not sure if that's the "life" Jimmy is referring to.

Jimmy should just count his lucky stars that Smart tolerates his imminently punchable face.

Nah. Habitual flopping makes you soft.

Nah, flopping is a ***** move.

And yes, LeBron acts like a total ***** on the court most of the time constantly complaining and flopping.

Off the court, sure, he's a tough guy, but on the court, I personally hate seeing players flop....it's the complete opposite of "tough"

Marcus Smart is a bad person. Accusing a fan of making racist remarks in order to justify assaulting the fan when AUDIO and VIDEO irrefutably prove Marcus Smart was lying is inexcusable. He will always be trash in my book.

I have always liked the Celtics and will root for them again the second he is off the team.

Explain...

Wade and CP are soft players? They flop all the time, especially on offense.

Not in the way Jimmy is intimating.

I agree flopping is a soft basketball play, but Butler is basically saying Smart won't dare square up to him because he's not up for it and I just don't think that's true.

Also in Smart's defense he does regularly lay his body on the line taking legit charges, guarding all the way up to PF and laying out for loose balls. He operates on both ends of the spectrum where he regularly plays soft with embarrassing flops, but also will guard Paul Millsap like a boss.

Sounds like he just lack the fundamental ability to make reasonable guesses of unfamiliar words or phrases based on their context.

What does he mean "hes not about that life"?...if he just means fighting and scrapping then a lot of people are "about that life", I hope Butler doesn't mean some street sh*t because that would just make him a clown;

Smart is way too obvious, he's one of those people that don't want know parts of a fight, but likes to act tough cause he got a little muscle on him. Jimmy would eat his children.
