WATCH: Marcus Smart’s best plays in 2020 East Finals vs. Miami Heat

He’s widely known as the heart and soul of his team, it’s unofficial captain, grimiest defender and toughest, most unrelenting competitor.

Boston Celtics fans love and trust him, the veteran defensive nightmare we know better as Marcus Smart.

The Flower Mound, Texas native left it all on the floor in the Celtics’ doomed Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat that saw his team fall in six games as injuries, exhaustion and inexperience caught up with Boston.

It wasn’t quite enough for the Oklahoma State product as he and his teammates tried to drag his team to victory against a determined Heat franchise.

But we did get plenty of high-level basketball at the hands of Marcus Smart, captured in the video embedded above.

Watch it at your leisure given we’re going to be without Celtics basketball for some time, the new season slated for some time after Christmas.

In the meantime, we wait for our revenge in 2020-21.
