Veteran guard Marcus Smart spent his first nine seasons in the NBA with the Boston Celtics. Boston selected Smart with the No. 6 pick in the 2014 draft, and the Texas native was with the club for almost a decade full of high highs and low lows. A bonafide leader on and off the court, Celtics fans, players, and personnel have thus spent the summer reflecting on Smart’s tenure in Boston now that he is set to suit up for the Memphis Grizzlies next season.
Add Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck to the chorus of voices singing Smart’s praises. In a recent interview with the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Grousbeck spoke about Smart’s impact on the Celtics. Likewise, he spoke about his enduring relationship with Smart.
“What I remember most about Marcus is his energy and his smile,” Grousbeck stated. “He brought so much to this team and will definitely be missed. Our friendship is going to continue.”
