There is no argument that's been presented. All I see is a bunch of agitated KU fans upset that Marcus Smart has beaten their team twice in two years using tactics they didn't like. If he didn't do that, he wouldn't even be a talking point in this thread nor would the word hate be being used to describe feelings about him. As always, I'm totally capable of admitting my bias here. But that clearly goes both ways in this situation.

I've said I understand why he does it all along. It's debatable whether the level he's taken it to helps more times than it doesn't, but of course it helps at times.
Exactly my point. If you don't understand the
several points made so far beyond 'omg I hate Marcus Smart', you're either not trying to understand for whatever reason or simply trolling. And it's clearly not just a KU thing. Hell, I've even mentioned a few times that he took the KU game in Stillwater into his own hands
the best way he can and looked pretty damn good doing it after clowning around for the first half. I'll take
that player on my team any day. Butthurt doesn't explain how two of the suggested results when you start typing 'Marcus Smart' in Google are 'Marcus Smart flop' and 'Marcus Smart flopping'. He's been asked about it multiple times and it's brought up during OSU games several times.
