“My mom, before she passed away, always loved my hair,” Smart said, via Yahoo Sports NBA on Twitter, “things I was doing with it, from the braids to letting it grow out. Then I started to dye it, and she really liked that. She always said she wanted me to see me in green, but obviously, she passed away, so she never got to see me. So when we started this playoff run, I was like, ‘For her, I’mma gonna go have it dyed and see what it looks like. Everybody loved it and so now it’s kinda here.”
