Jaylen Brown: I couldn't stand Marcus Smart at first
John Karalis: Jaylen Brown on Marcus Smart: “I couldn’t stand Marcus at first… and I love him now… you grow and mature as young men and you learn things about people … But me and Marcus, we didnt start off great. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Marcus when I first got to Boston.”

“He was the most beloved Celtic that we had on our team. He was the heart and soul … I thought I was going to play with Smart my entire career.”
Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are still winning but they do miss Marcus Smart and his winning plays.

I like the idea of starting John Konchar in place of Marcus Smart. Good size as a wing defender. Grizzlies sticking with Jacob Gilyard as the starting point guard even with Derrick Rose back. Gilyard has been earning those minutes. – 7:43 PM

More on this storyline
“[Marcus Smart is] a big part of this culture,” said Jayson Tatum. “He was the most beloved Celtic that we had on our team. He was the heart and soul. To see him leave — I thought I was going to play with Smart my entire career. So seeing him leave was tough. -via nbcsportsboston.com / November 19, 2023
“We’ve had so many memories. Great memories, not-so great memories. Been in the playoffs, we got to the Finals together. That might be my favorite. It was that moment of me, him, and Jaylen [Brown], talking on the court when we won Game 7 [of the Eastern Conference Finals in Miami in 2022]. We didn’t accomplish the main goal but we finally got over that hump. At that time, it was a hell of a feeling.” -via nbcsportsboston.com / November 19, 2023
That’s the word we keep coming back to. Smart was different. The Celtics without Smart are different. There’s no one that can quite replace Smart, on or off the court, even if the Celtics might still thrive without him here. “Great guy. Obviously, an ultra, ultra competitor. Some of the things he does on the court you’re like, ‘What is going on?’” said Derrick White, who elevated to All-Defense status playing alongside Smart. “But it’s amazing. And there’s really nobody like Marcus Smart in the league. Tough to see him go.” What else will White miss? “His robes, eating the Wicked Smarts [cereal], and all the little things he did like that. That’s just Smart. Like, ‘What is going on here?’ It’s just Smart doing Smart things.” -via nbcsportsboston.com / November 19, 2023
