He's been a top 3 guard defender in the league for 7+ years. He's carried teams with liabilities like IT, Kyrie, and Kemba to great defensive seasons. There probably hasn't been a game in his career where someone else on the court had more hustle than him. He deserves this man, he really does.
bro it always amazes me his first 5 years no one even thought of him as an all defensive player and now at this point it's just like people have no choice but to accept how good he is after he has proven he makes huge defensive plays year after year game after game in the most crucial moments. the only thing ppl seen before was his flopping but he removed that from his game mostly and now he is getting respect
@@tradeka4206 there is a huge chance that we get the time lord back saturday because at the point it would be 5 weeks after he got injured and they said he would be out 4-6 weeks he also practiced yesterday
@@obama1620 yeah I know but I’m just assuming we don’t get him back to be on the safe side. If anything if we could (which I know we can) beat them without him and let him rest and heal up a little longer I like that better. I’d rather not risk him getting injured again. Obviously the medical staff know what they’re doing and I trust that they made the right decision with the surgery and that they’ll make the right decision on when to bring him back
@@lyricaljuice5047 there’s a difference between drawing charges and flopping on every play. Did you see him flop when jrue stole the ball from him at the end of game 5?
@@ejvince I'd also take Jrue over Marcus, but not because of his defence. He's a much better two way player than Smart because of his high level offence.
“I had this mindset where every day I go out here, I have to play like it’s my last because they could possibly be my last, and my oldest brother didn’t have a chance to live out his dream.” -Marcus Smart
Been watching Smart work his ass off on both sides of the court every single night for years and years, so glad he finally got this recognition. Every night he’s the hardest worker on the floor
@@hotness1113 fax they have the best defense and they have a fringe top 10 scorer in Tatum (26.9ppg) they also have Jaylen Brown, they have the best perimeter defender in smart, if robert williams comes back then they have a higher chance of winning and hes a top 5-10 rim protector in the league they also have al horford too hes still a good defender Tatum & Brown have to step up doe
So proud. I always believed in this guy and he quickly became one of my three favorite players ever, but never thought he would be able to win this award, given how its voted. Really feel proud of him.
So happy for Marcus, I’m a Celtics fan and I’ve been watching him for eight years he played his heart out every single night and he’s gotten better every year, congratulations well deserved!
People talk about guys like Mikal and Jrue as being the best perimeter defenders in the league. But for me, it's always been Marcus. He has that extra level those guys just don't have. He doesn't just shut guys down, he makes game winning plays on defense. The intensity and determination he brings on that side is unrivaled in the league. The only other guys I've ever seen play with that edge are KG and Rodman. We're extremely lucky to have him in Boston and I'm so glad we never traded him when people were calling to blow this team up. This is a well deserved award.
Him yelling for JB to “get his ish together” at 1:00 is why we love and literally need this man to be in Boston! I’m a STL Cardinals fan too and I view Smart’s influence on the C’s pretty much exactly like I view Yadi’s for the Cards…the importance of having someone like that on your team is huge imo!!
Wow thanks for this!! Incredible to watch this level of hustle and tenacity one after the other. This is the stuff that makes teams hate playing the Cs. Marcus is the ghost mvp.
This is still surreal to me . I dreamed about this day for years 😭 I'm just so proud of his hard work and dedication , his journey towards where he stands as of today is just unbelievable . Would you mind making a part 2 of it , if you have time of course because i enjoy your videos so much
He steals is better then Gary Payton. He predicts enemy's movement so well and just snatch it like a piece of cake. Besides the mentality to do whatever it takes to get the ball for the team. 💪
Smart’s combo of strength and how magnetically attracted his hands seem to be to the ball is why he makes so many more ridiculous plays on the ball without fouling than just about anyone else…lol and I couldn’t be more proud and happy for our boy for never letting up and finally taking that thing home! #DPOY🏆😤🍀
Smart probably has more assists sitting on his butt than any other player in history 😂. He’s always on the floor getting the ball and then making a great pass to start the fast break while still on the ground
Glad to see these charges being taken/called but a few of them seem like jumping in front of someone already up in the air. Also love the diving to floor hustle.

Smart was just so good in the defensive end causing havoc well deserved DPOY
he'll just turn basketball into rugby for like 10 seconds
Jrue is a better defender. If you think flopping is good defense then well…. I guess that’s your opinion
@@BucksIn6 Jrue just gets steals but drawing charges is good basketball iq

@@BucksIn6 who won the series and who had a bad series? Jrue
He is all over in the game.. So inspirational what he is doing, diving for the ball, give his body to get offensive. He deserve the award.
This man sacrifices his body every game, well deserved
Taking jrue over him
@@ejvince I'd also take Jrue over Marcus, but not because of his defence. He's a much better two way player than Smart because of his high level offence.
Just to think that this guy has bout 10 minutes of defensive and hustle play highlights on one season is ridiculous!
Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and also saviour
Marcus Smart -Defensive Player of the Year

our MVP tommy does it again. thanks man. Marcus Smaaht DPOY
He's a family favorite. The longest tenured Celtic and the Leader. It's really good to see.

And these were the ones that show up in the stats / highlights..the plays he "locked up" aren't even here yet.
Appreciate the effort man. Thank you!
So happy for him. I was in 8th grade when he got drafted, watched pretty much every game since
And so many of these plays are in the 4th quarter. He wins us so many games.
Appreciate all of the Celtics Vids you upload. Keep it up, sir!

His court awareness is just completely insane when look at how quickly he reacts. My favorite player on my favorite team!
His effort and strength are his best qualities
Hey tomasz you the real mvp real talk though thanks for your effort 👍
Dude a couple of those plays Marcus literally dove on the hard wood floor like an outfielder diving for a catch....well deserved Marcus 💯🍀

He is such a extraordinary defensive player to be able to guard 1-5 at 6’4 is insane
WELL DESERVED Congrats Marcus!!!
Thanks Tomasz!
I wonder how long an all blocks and steals video be. He probably had like 140 this year
Marcus, your success is earned
Marcus is FOREVER Celtic ❤❤❤❤
well deserved!!! and i wished you had posted clips of marcus clamping up the bigs in the post
I want this video to explode, get marcus more widespread appreciation
I trust Marcus Smart to guard 99% of players in the NBA
He's like a younger Draymond
He steals is better then Gary Payton. He predicts enemy's movement so well and just snatch it like a piece of cake. Besides the mentality to do whatever it takes to get the ball for the team. 💪
That first play was insane he locked down all 3 people who touched the ball
I have been expecting your video since I heard Smart taking the award:)
Nice. Next year would be timelord's turn.
Thanks for your videos Tomasz! A Celtics fan from France 🍀🇫🇷
Boston!!!☘️
Marcus really deserved it this year. I am happy for him finally getting his respect!
One thing about Smart is that not only is he a amazing defender but he’s always the first one on the floor
It's such a pleasure to watch these guys play! Marcus is my favourite to watch.
So happy for Marcus!!
Marcus will be TRULY missed. ❤❤❤❤
I’m gonna miss him😢
Thanks Thomas for making a very satisfying videos
Dope video🔥🔥
My younger days I played over 20 years of Streetball and I just love Marcus Smart , Minds me of myself playing defense really really
Smart’s combo of strength and how magnetically attracted his hands seem to be to the ball is why he makes so many more ridiculous plays on the ball without fouling than just about anyone else…lol and I couldn’t be more proud and happy for our boy for never letting up and finally taking that thing home! #DPOY🏆😤🍀
LETS GO MARCUS, glad to see him get recognition
Great Smart!
Marcus "Gimme That Shit" Smart

Awesommeeee video really shows how much he deserved this award
This the comp that I needed.
This man is 1 of 1
well deserved dpoy 🔥❤🔥
Love u Tomasz
Glad to see these charges being taken/called but a few of them seem like jumping in front of someone already up in the air.
Also love the diving to floor hustle.
Not to burst anyone's bubble but this award is only his FIRST!! I GUARANTEE he wins another!!!!!!!!!🍀🍀🍀🔐
Thats My DPOY!!!
I never realized how common the phrase 'First to the Floor' was in Celtics games til Marcus was gone.
Bro Marcus smart deserves this I love his defense
This man knows how to finish a defensive play
You can often expect him to be the first one to the floor. He's the soul of the team no doubt.
better than the official highlight reel
My freinds said it wouldn't happen😂😂😂 Les Go Marcus Smart a.k.a. D.P.Y.
DPOY!!!!
It's your Boy, The DPOY!
most of the highlight is him drawing charges wow so good at it
I love marcus smart
Can we get a video compilation of MS guarding all 5 positions!! Him v Giannis Embiid Gobery
2:10 thats a block lmao. defender was already elevating
Tommy Heinsohn would be so proud 💚
Smart reminds me of a young and tenacious Manu Ginobili. Always ready to sacrifice his boby.
Isnt this the first guard since Gary Payton too win the award?
yes!
Payton II is lightyears ahead
Difference between marcus smart and anthony davis: AD on the floor is a bad sign while smart on the floor is a good sign.
Good recognition by the league. But he's been the same player for years!
First play he shut down the entire left side of the court.
He wants it more!
Imagine Marcus smart as a db in fball
The league finally couldn't ignore it...
Do a “best (Mike/Skal) calls of the season”
Gotta be the most troll DPOY pick in decades. The guy can guard opposing teams smallest, lightest players.
Last time a Celtic won DPOY we won the chip. Is history repeating itself? 🤔
Smart really jus want that chip this year.
I bought my Marcus Smart Jersey💪
It's amazing how little you need to do to be a good defensive player these days!
💀out of the videos you comment that on its a marcus smart highlight video a person that does a lot
a 🏆 and JT MVP🥇next year🧃and ⏳🧙🏾♂️💫 life would be great ATP!!!!!
YESSIR
DPOYYYYYYY
腦衝的個性 難怪會騎到IT身上XD
I feel like if Marcus Smart didn't play basketball he wouldve been a Pro.Bowl Safety or Pro Bowl Corner Back lol
90% of these are off the ball hustle plays. I’d take Jrue Holiday and his lock down defense all day
DPOY
Hustle on hof
Every Celtics player is so likable, except Grant Williams. Too bad they have the fanbase and media that they do. They deserve better.
Still haunting harden 😂😂
