The issue isn't whether there is still racism or not. Also, saying that calling a black man a "boy" or "N" word is "dynamite" is not an excuse for going after someone in the crowd.

All Smart had to do was let the official know and security would have made the man leave the arena. You do not put your hands on someone else, and players know that.

Smart will still be a lottery pick based on the fact this appears to be an isolated case, but his lack of self control will be discussed in war rooms on draft night.

Further, all Smart has done is make sure that fans will single him out based on his reaction. If you are an NBA team, spending a top lottery pick on a player, do you want to draft someone that you are worried will be ejected in the playoffs because a fan said something nasty?

Last, there have been some fans close to the event that said the "super fan" called him a "piece of ****".

See, your looking at what the proper way would have been for him to handle it as basketball prospect. In the bigger picture, he's a man and will handle it as that. If the fan went over the line and Smart checked him, it is what it is, no knock on Smart for that.
