Marcus Smart suspended three games for shoving fan

“This is not how I condone myself, this is not how the program is ran, this is not how I was raised,” Smart said during a press conference that was broadcasted online. “I just let my emotions get the best of me. I feel like I let my teammates down. These guys mean a lot to me, and not being able to be out there with them, it hits me in my heart.”

“I take the responsibility and the consequences that come with it.”

Smart, according to The Oklahoman, was telling everyone on the court in the moments immediately following the incident that Orr had used a racial slur. That racial slur. Orr said in a statement he called Smart a “piece of crap,” and denied using a racial slur.

In that same year, ESPN’s cameras captured Orr making an obscene gesture to Texas A&M’s Bryan Davis after Davis had dunked inside the United Spirit Arena.

Smart was immediately issued a technical and walked back to the bench as the ESPNU cameras caught him yelling at the officials and later cursing from the sidelines.

This is not the first time the All-American guard has lost his temper during a game. In January, he kicked a chair out of frustration against West Virginia, though he later apologized. And earlier this week, he vented his frustration to the media and criticized officials over his reputation for flopping.
