Marcus Smart was surprised by an old friend at his annual bowling bash to benefit his YounGameChanger foundation on Thursday night.

Former Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas unexpectedly showed up at the event, which was held at Kings Back Bay. Smart appeared overjoyed by seeing his former teammate of three seasons surprisingly show up, hugging him and dapping him for several moments in a video that went viral among Celtics fans Thursday evening.

Smart explained why “it means a lot” to have Thomas show up at an event of his like that on Friday.

“Me and IT have been here, battling for the years we did,” Smart told reporters Friday.
