That’s right. But it gets forgotten he was an important backup PG that regular season. He had to make the right decision for his fam bc his son had a serious respiratory disease or illness that could have been extremely exacerbated if he got COVID. No one faulted him but he kinda got loss from a lot of people’s memories of that team.

It’s never been about his ability or his heart when it comes to desire to win. He’s an all in baller like LeBron. He just has a hard time staying healthy because he plays all in. The fact LeBron has stayed mostly healthy for this long with that style of play just proves he’s a freak of nature.

markevbs | Celtics

Also he was too proud and too determined to be the leader/voice of the Celtics. Blocked the young dudes and always did something above his pay grade which cost us…now he’s toned it all down and is just Kyle Lowry pt2 in his more laid back “veteran who can help lead” role

DAWG? Do you mean Disruption-Adjusted Wins Generated? The composite hustle metric which weights a player’s deflections, charges drawn, loose balls recovered, and contested shots, then adjusts for clutch-time leverage (plays in the final 5 minutes of games within 5 points count double). Smart’s DAWG is 3.4, putting him easily in the top 5 this year.

Why are so many Celtics fans unable to offer Smart praise without bringing up whatever it is they perceived his faults to be? It’s like they think he was the only thing preventing the team from winning it all when he was here and can’t let it go.
