1) He's leading the SEC in scoring and scoring at 20+ per game in SEC play. He won't be a top draft pick, but the guy can play. Your entire premise that being the best at your position makes it OK is moronic. Talking smack as an elite player is a little less annoying that talking smack as a good player. If Henderson were to play shutdown defense, it'd be a lot less annoying. As it is he's basically elite (at least for the SEC) on one side of the court and so-so on the other. Not really the person that should be running their mouth.
2) Which is easier to be involved with, football fans that are a ways away from the field, or basketball fans that are feet from the court? Smoot was exactly the same as Henderson. So you can't point to a single incident of Smoot making an *** of himself? And it's not just taunting fans. I don't t hink Demarcus Cousins did anything out of line when he taunted fans. It's making an *** out of yourself by rushing to get in fans faces.
3) What does that have to do with any of this? It was mostly a joke, but Smoot is actually a guy that I think most people would enjoy hanging out with. Would you really want to have a drink with Henderson? Or trust him around cold medicine or your overweight daughter?
Maybe I'll just reference you to Charles Rhodes and Renardo Sidney, who both always taunted opposing fanbases. You do have us on the hypocrisy with the way everyone on here defended Sidney...
