Marcus Smart was a polarizing figure during his nine seasons with the Boston Celtics. He was either your favorite player, or you probably wanted the front office to trade him any time they got the chance.

Those who loved Smart were drawn to his commitment to winning. He was willing to put his body on the line if it meant Boston would have a better chance at victory. Diving for loose balls, drawing charges, playing through injury; Smart did it all.

On the flip side, those who didn’t care for the former No. 6 overall pick would tell you his role on the team was too big.
