He's everything I thought he was. The fact that he's been able to essentially save his team's disappointing season since coming back says more about him as a basketball player/competitor than anything he did last year for them.
Funny indeed, but it does tell you the extent to which Smart is in his head. The hate is strong there.

He did show up at the right time against Kansas, which I think highlights the point even more... he was being a clown the first half and ended up 0 for 7 from the field and you surely couldn't say he was doing much at all to save his team. He showed up down the stretch and made some huge plays, including the rebound while going out of bounds and hitting a 3. People get upset watching him flop around, but what he did late in the game makes the flopping a damn shame. He should stick with playing basketball... he's pretty good at it.
