The GIF is a clip from right after he sank a couple of free throws to win at Auburn as the clock ran out. The basketball blogger at CBS sports has some entertaining analysis.

“Auburn.” “Student.” Two words that can’t appear in one sentence.
The Auburn students seem to have their Anglo-Saxon epithets down pat.
Lee Trevino, the professional golfer, used to run his mouth and talk all the way around the golf course. The more he ran his mouth, the better he played. And prior to an 18-hole playoff for the US Open Championship at Merion in 1971, he threw a rubber snake at Jack Nicklaus, which rattled Nicklaus (and Trevino won the playoff shooting a 68 to Nicklaus’s 71).
I mention Trevino because many athletes run their mouths during competition, with the intent of getting under the skin of their opponent. At Auburn, the Auburn student section started riding Marshall Henderson in the shoot-around practice prior to the game. Henderson just responded in kind at the end of the game. I also noted that Andy Kennedy apparently has an assistant assigned to corral Henderson as quickly as possible after a game.
Henderson has said that his Twitter account blows up each week with the next opponent’s fan base just raving at him. And he feeds off of it.
Henderson has an interesting history.

He attempted to buy 59 grams of marijuana on two occasions using $800 in counterfeit money given to him by a friend. He was charged with forgery, sentenced to probation and served 25 days in jail, plus seven weekends of work release for violating the probation after he transferred to Texas Tech in 2010-11.
“I thought I was done for,” Henderson said. “When the Secret Service first visited me in Utah and talked about a surveillance camera, I threw up. It was scary, but (Utah) coach (Jim) Boylen and my dad helped me through it.”

The more fitting title for this would be “Henderson gives Auburn students a taste of their own medicine”, which they obviously can’t handle! The Auburn students were overly taunting Henderson throughout the entire game. He did not disrespect them, he just reminded them the number one 3 pt scorer for the SEC played for Ole Miss. They were the ones being disrespectful. Search the photos, they are giving him the finger. This kid is making history for the Rebels! Let him enjoy it!
I disapprove of Henderson and the Auburn spectators.
I approve of Henderson’s scoring and overall play on the court.
As a State fan, let me say that Henderson has the reputation around the league as an asshole with a mouth and the talent.
Dude has a mouth on him, but as Dizzy Dean said…
“He attempted to buy 59 grams of marijuana on two occasions using $800 in counterfeit money given to him by a friend. He was charged with forgery, sentenced to probation and served 25 days in jail, plus seven weekends of work release for violating the probation after he transferred to Texas Tech in 2010-11.”
Good Lord, I don’t want to ever hear anything else about MSU recruits/projects.
On Monday afternoon’s edition of ESPN’s Around the Horn, the commentators split 2-1 in favor of Henderson facing off to the Auburn student section.
Henderson behaved fine during the game. He was taunted relentlessly and after the game he exhibited some spunk. I disfavor a bunch of things Coach Kennedy does but he has done a fairly good job with Henderson. A coach cannot ride too hard on a spirited horse or it will break him.
Hootie D, it’s only fair for me to say this: I agree wholeheartedly.
After thinking about this, I seriously hope that using counterfeit money to buy marijuana from a drug dealer is not, in and of itself, illegal. Seriously, swapping counterfeit money for contraband is illegal? Possession of the marijuana is a crime. Possession of the counterfeit currency is a crime. But using worthless paper to buy illegal drugs? Well, to quote Oliver North: “I don’t think it was wrong. I think it was a neat idea ….”
Now, I have not researched this particular story, but also after thinking about this (and about how the Secret Service apparently had video surveillance of the operation), I have to think that this was probably yet another of the F.B.I.’s notorious, and ever more frequent, “sting” operations. I’m really getting tired of reading about people who have half the acumen of Barney Fife being charged for elaborate terrorist conspiracies which were actually conceived and put into motion by the F.B.I. just to see what the net would drag up.
The feds fishing in Mississippi…
