He earned the love and respect that everyone offered him today. He was deserving of everything. It was just nice to have him back. It goes without saying that I miss him. Seeing him was just incredibly enjoyable.”
Regarding Smart’s reception, Tatum remarked, “It’s only right.” “He sacrificed his tears, sweat, and blood each and every night. Everything he had on the floor.
