Read this (and forever hold our tongues)

Brian Phillips on Marcus Smart -- "He's succeeded his way into something that looks, from the outside, kind of like failure."

We offer our opinions (yours truly included) when, in fact, we don't have (and most often will never possess) the full picture from which to validate out 'truths.'

Imagine what the so-called cognescenti (and others) were disparagingly saying about Smart just a few years ago, without knowing where and what he came from let alone the transformation he would be undergoing.
