Afternoon Delight: Celtics heavily leaning to naming Marcus Smart player-coach

In the same year that Bill Russell will be inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame for his coaching career, it appears the Boston Celtics may be naming another player-coach who hopefully can lead the team to a couple titles as well. Celtics Life's award winning Afternoon Delight investigative journalist Rondo Burgundy says Marcus Smart is atop the Celtics coaching hire list, and Burgundy has an impeccable record when it comes to these things.

The Celtics like the fact that Marcus always keeps a calm and cool demeanor on the court and never lets his emotions get the best of him.
