- Boston Celtics guard, Marcus Smart, joins The Old Man & The Three for a LIVE recording of the podcast in Boston, Massachusetts. This episode is a riot. Topics include: Marcus' upbringing and why he chose to play at Oklahoma State, never being traded from The Boston Celtics despite being involved in trade rumors, the difficulty of always being expected to contend for an NBA championship with so much roster turnover, battling Kevin Durant, what motivates him, why he exaggerates contact, playing with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, pushing a Texas Tech fan, and drafting the craziest sports fan bases.

Thank you all for watching! Our next guest is another awesome Celtics player and it's truly one of the most insightful interviews we've done. I believe we're publishing that on Friday and Jason might have a Boston vlog shortly after. Please be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. We really love the community we're building here.
JJ you need to do more live shows man I enjoyed this one This one right here is what made me subscribe to you Because of the live show
Jaylen Brown?
Try get Ben Simmons on the show, I'm sure us fans would want to hear what he has to say :D
@@violetyg2626 it has to be. Jaylen is one of the smartest players in the league and he’s received a lot of hate this season.
@@violetyg2626 “one of the most insightful interviews” definitely Jaylen lol
Actually, on second thought.. I heard JJ mention a few times that “they spoke with Jayson”. It’s Tatum.
JJ’s post career as a podcaster and analyst is gold I love his takes and point of views it’s hilarious yet always real!
I think Gilbert arenas podcasts are a1 also but he’s not very consistent
@@02butta I also enjoy All the smoke, and Knuckleheads
@@alexandrufarcas3183 all the smoke was coo for a min outed but idk. Weird vibe I get from them now. It’s probably stack.
Marcus is an iron man. He plays hard every night, through injuries, and puts it all on the line. He doesn’t seek the glory but will do anything for a win. I have nothing but respect for what he does.
an iron man like it
@@edwardzhou8590 Its a common name for players who play a large number of games consecutively
Love this podcast THE BEST OUT
shaqtin mvp!
His teammates call him Wolverine because many times you see him getting hit really hard or falling awkwardly when fighting for a lose ball or a rebound, then he's in great pain like any other person but seconds later you see him running up and down the court like nothing happened.
This show was a trip - went from loving to hate Marcus (I'm a Knicks fan 😁) to understanding his tenacity (his humble upbringings) to appreciating his humility (him admitting he's not the greatest shooter) to admiring his attitude (110% winning and getting teammates involved, especially young players and exuding leadership) to just laughing at his stories.
Guy clearly has a lot of character and I'm now a fan. This is why I love this pod - I understand so much more about the players after these extended interviews. Appreciate everything you guys do and props to Marcus for holding back no punches as I'd expect from him.
@@rikeycastro115 He meant he used to love to hate on marcus
@@rikeycastro115 counter intuitive? bad to good?
i said i understood elements of his character and the examples why - where are you getting bad to good from.
I'm a knicks fan but I never hated Marcus. He's a game changer even when his shot isn't falling. I'd trade him for Kemba, IQ, and Burks.
I'd throw in a late 1st too.
What kind of karma makes you a knicks fan?
JJ the goat retired NBA personality, Draymond up next but rn it's JJ's prime
I don’t hate on Draymond but to be honest man has negative charisma, not enjoyable to watch or listen
@@moskosmash2697 that’s on you lmao he’s fun to watch and listen to IMO
Already better than Shaq. Shaq mumbles and barely speaks English. JJ, Draymond and Matt Barnes are carrying the next generation of former players turned media personalities.
Draymond just needs to stop using the word absolutely 30 times a minute other than that he’s great
Lmao what ??? JJ just started doing talk shows draymond literally on TNT 😂
Boston loves Marcus, thank you JJ and Tommy for asking him genuine questions. Love the pod and the insight it always brings into the players life.
Love seeing Marcus smart getting his respect in these comments every Celtics fan already loves and respects Mahcus Smaht but it’s great to see this side of him portrayed to other fans
Marcus the city loves you, your effort and commitment never goes unnoticed. Keep shining out there big dawg, banner 18 is on the way 🤞🏾☘️
@@brrodyy Once KD and LeBron retire, it's gonna be prime Jayson Tatum and prime Jaylen brown, assuming they stay together. that's their best chance
@@stevenrosario8859 KD has a good 5 years left in him
@@brrodyy realistically 2-3, brad stevens probably has something up his sleeve this FA too
Yea in like 18 more years lmao, y’all not touching the championship anytime soon
@@CARBONHAWK1 exactly, in 5 years Tatum will be 29 and Brown 30 or 31
Marcus is easily one of the most misunderstood and disrespected nba players. He’s a good guy and the heart and soul of the Celtics, people need to give him the respect he deserves instead of just clowning on him
He plays with all heart and that's why Boston loves him. He's one of those players that if he's not on your team, you'd hate him.
I always clowned Marcus smart for being a huge flopping pest but he seems like such a cool dude that plays his hardest every game. He feels like a rich man’s Patrick Beverly.
So happy you said rich mans lol
Watch Beverley interview with jj
shaqtin mvp?
He actually has a art of flopping lol
Smart is 1000x better than Beverley
I hope we return to contention and win a championship with him on the team, wouldn’t be the same without him
yall were never in contention. East was trash back then
@@Shortballa11 bs. East was still tuff. Not as difficult as the west but lebron n his cavs were lethal. Toronto was still a scary team. Bucks have been good within the last 4 seasons. Hawks have had good teams. Even the bulls.
@@Shortballa11 bruh the eastern conference has more wins the west look it up it’s a crazy year it’s finally balanced and I’m happy honestly it’s about time the eastern conference got better
@@yessirski7868 cmon we arent talking about the same east. When the Jay boys were in contention, Victor Oladipo was the best player in the East after lebron. Nobody was scared of Lowry and Demarr and the Cavs were getting whooped in the finals. it was very lopsided.
@@fenixkillzem1181 100 percent. East is stacked now and im loving it. I was talking about the East back when Jayson and Jaylen were in the conference finals
My son met Marcus and he left a lasting impression on him… much respect 💪🏼
How so? if you dont mind me asking.
Glad we kept Marcus. He has improved as a first time point guard on this squad. I think his defensive prowess and leadership has helped this year’s team find an identity.
Has to be the best episode of the podcast I've ever listened to
Big props to Smart for wearing a full pink jumpsuit - confident on/off the court 👍
Marcus has been my favorite players for a long time, he has carried the legacy of Paul pierce, Rondo and KG throughout these years. I’m so glad you had him on the show! ☘️
Smart, White, JB, JT. Williams. Stacked starting line up one day.
Smart is one of those players who just helps his team win. It's hard to measure the value that a player like Smart brings to a team.
He’s loved and he’s trusted. Favorite competitor.
Boston loves Marcus! ☘️
One of my favorite players , and a great humble dude
If you seen Marcus play at OSU he was just soo good on both ends of the floor! My HS coach made me study his game write down everything he does as homework 📚
I hope Boston does everything they can to keep this dude. One of the few dawgs in the league
At this point he should just retire a Celtic
I can see him working for the Celtics after he’s done playing. He’s like a player/coach on defense already.
As a celtics fan I will always respect Smart as a player and person. He has the whole city behind him every night. A true celtic and plays his heart out no matter the circumstances. Any team would be lucky to have him.
I hope the Celtics never get rid off this man
Was an honor to be present for this and meet JJ after! Thank you for visiting our city. 🙏 ❤️
Great to hear both of these players/competitors talk together about each other so candidly. I appreciate getting to know who they are behind the scenes.
Got to see this live in Boston. Thanks for the awesome interview Marcus is the man! ☘️☘️☘️
The best video i’ve seen in a while. Loved how opened Marcus was!! LOVED IT
Smart didn't start the flopping movement, it was part of the NBA culture that he inherited when he came into the league. Don't know how people hold that against him when guys like Harden were getting 20 free throws per game. He doesn't even do it so much anymore, nowadays he just exaggerates contact a little to show the refs the right call
I remember the first time I saw Smart play. It was a pick up game against KD when he was still at Oklahoma State. The way he played defense on KD and the non-stop energy I knew he was gone be a menace. I was hoping we got him and we did
Marcus Smart sparks joy.
Much love from the Philippines! This that kind of talk that ive been wanting to watch. Big fan of Marcus Smart, so underrated.
I’ll never forget his 39 point game for Oklahoma state
Shiz I forgot that! I remember when Marcus was a big prospect coming into OSU reading about him in SLAM! And then when he was a stud freshman Pg who was somewhat doubted for choosing to return to college after a freshman seaosn that had him projected as a possible top 3 pick!
Then obviously all the stuff with that fan in the stands and all and there was talk on espn about how many he made the wrong choice. Glad it all worked out.
A lot of my friends didtn watch ncaa so I love to tell them that Marcus was actually a star level player in college and he only became this role playing type defensive stud as he found his role in the NBA! I think it’s so cool to see how some college stars actually fit better in the NBA as great role players, and some college role/ secondary players end up becoming nba studs!
Hits different watching this after he’s no longer on the Celtics. Love you Marcus 💚💚💚☘️☘️☘️
Marcus taking back to back charges on Harden to win the game is still probably my favorite basketball moment ever..
That "HIGHLIGHT"compilation. 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite nba player on my favorite yt channel this is something else!Ty JJ for this
Love the live shows. If you guys ever do one in the middle of the country I am there for sure.
Great interview love the channel keep doing what y'all do blessings and more blessings y'all way !!
Very cool to see this done live! Although I did not see the question box at the event, and judging by the very few submitted questions, I'm guessing the rest of us didn't see it either! My question would have been: who is more fun to throw a lob pass to - Rob or Tacko?
(Also, I'm a bit disappointed that Marcus didn't stick around to sign autographs after. Oh well!)
Easy answer Rob he gets to that ball in so many different ways lol like he said he justs tells them throw it up and he’ll get to it 😂
@@kevingomes8416 I know, but I'm just saying it would have been fun to hear Marcus' answer to a fun question and maybe hear a bit about his relationship with those two guys.
@@kevingomes8416 bro fr they can throw it full court and not even be very accurate and that man somehow catches it and finishes. He never misses the alley oops, even when he has to lay it in
This was good for Marcus Smart. A lot of fans outside of Boston think he’s a dirty player and a flopper. Shows a different perspective. Sure he might flop here n there lol but he’s a great player and a genuine dude. Met him before.
Well at least he mainly flops on defense lol
I don't understand why people think he's a dirty player! He exaggerates calls but that's different than being a dirty player!
He will do anything to win and you have to respect that. How many times did he get a huge charge to get the ball back! That’s what wins games and how many times did he get a big steal when we need it the most!
Amazing stuff, y’all!! Appreciate it!
Heart and soul of the Celtics & facts always let your actions do the talking ☘️
Love JJ and his podcast/sportscasting. He gives a different perspective as a shooter that we don’t hear nearly enough about
JJ interviews are always awesome but this one is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Kudos to JJ and all the guys but mainly to Marcus Smart - i had no idea he was so funny and clever.
BTW JJ. Podcast is lit but what you doing on espn as an analyst is FIRE FR!!!! GREAT ANALYST
Love what you're doing man!
The Heart and soul of the Boston celtics
I was waiting for the Celtic FC supporters love. The most passionate set of fans I have ever seen. Great choice JJ.
I notice you talk a lot about Marcus. He must have earned your respect for real. Love this content, man.
Also love the interview bro 🔥🔥
This was great. Would love it if you guys did one with Jrue in Milwaukee!
🔥🔥
You guys are very very entertaining. Love the show!
Marcus is such a great person and competitor
I sat front row for this:’)
Lucky
Hey JJ are you ever intending or are you trying to get Ben Simmons on your podcast? I think now more than ever I’d appreciate him being able to open up about his experience in Philly as well as the potential he sees on his new team with Kyrie and KD, with a good friend.
ESPN's greatest analyst by far, no one else is even close.
I love Marcus, man. What a great basketball player and team leader
Great show yall
I respect jj family alot. They took my cousin to Nationals in Utah when they were kids. Hope jj didn't forget him
LETS GOO JJ!!! BOSTON LOVES SMART!!! PLEASE NEVER TRADE HIM!!!!
Hey JJ as a Celtics fan I’ve always said there should be a front court and back court defensive player of the year! You should bring that topic up on your pod!
You know me, I'm not about the drama. And I love JJ's point of view, it’s hilarious yet always real!
This is awesome just subbed!!
JJ is killing the media game. Let's fkn goooooooooooooo!!!!
Yes JJ, the mighty Glasgow Celtic getting a shout, love that
I am a PSG and Celtics diehard fan. And my favorite player in Marcus Smart. This show was all i needed!
Another amazing show, I feel like each episode just gets better and better. Tommy definitely single tho lol
The best about Argentina's fans is our songs and energy. Noy one word chants, full songs and lyrics supporting our teams. 100k fans singing along and jumping all the time. Just beautifull to watch and be a part of as well
As a Boston sports fan, I love Marcus smart, never leave Boston!!!
We love you Marcus 💚🍀
Big fan of Marcus as a basketball player and as a person.
As a raps fan hate seeing this guy line up on the other side of a game but would loveee if bro was on my team
JJ is my favorite bro. He’s so good
Love Marcus! Heart and soul right there.
Great interview
Marcus coming out w/ the Custom Defensive Player of the Year Boxing Robe in Game 2 vs Brooklyn was 1 of the Best Moments of the Season as a Celtics Fan..
Marcus Smart is an absolute stud.
JJ is a natural. Good job bro.
Who doesn’t love this man.
good show thank for you guys go Celtics ! Smart the goat
Yo JJ,
Not sure if you'll see this just thought I'd say, I don't know what it is but your podcast is an effortless listen. Never change my friend
I prefer the more private interviews. The public ones are not as personal
Marcus Smart is a cool dude
Thommy is acutally damn right on this one: Argentina fans are probably in the top 3 of all most devoted sports fans in the world. The other two places go to Greece and Turkey. Honory mention: Balkan fans, Serbie, Kroatia..they are right there aswell.
No offense to US sports fanbases: they are no way near the mentioned above;-)
Indian cricket fans are also pretty intense
Cool guy. I respect the hustle.
24:12 when he asked marcus "when do you think you learned it" (the art of flopping), marcus should've answered with "that extra year of college".
you guys need to fly to Seattle for an interview with both Jamal, IT, and B Roy and another one with Paolo after he wins the chip with duke!!
love this guy! pat bev wishes he was marcus smart 😂
CELTIC FC! THANK YOU JJ
Man i would love to attend one of these live shows
The goat is on the podcast!!!
Marcus smart Should be 1st team all defense list every year
JJ can you try to get Wall on here? I’m not sure if that’s possible, idk why but I always had a feeling you and him weren’t anything close to friendly, but if you are I would love to hear that. Every time Wall does someone’s podcast I feel like a lot of the people who think they hate him comment how much they changed their minds. Wall is a really good dude in a lot of ways, and he even reminds me of Marcus a bit in terms of how he plays with a lot of aggression and fire but he has a huge hugeeew heart. I think it’s impossible to argue against that the way we have seen him share his emotions when talking about his late mother( Rest In Peace) and Miyah( Rest In Peace)
The way Washington fans were impacted by him leaving also said a lot. Many of them talked about how they were going to miss him in the community even more than on the court. The NBA and wizards totally tried to eff him reputation wise, and it’s pathetic he never won the community assist award, but the facts tell the truth. The man has done SO much for Washington communities and I love how he understands that it’s not just about throwing money at projects, but also showing his face during these projects so he can( in his words) show people “he is just like them”. I truly adore how much he knows that his success doenst make him any type of special human who is above others. I love him for that
this was so good
Last person who I expected an appearance on this show was Derek Zoolander 😂😂😂😂😂 Perfect
time stamps ??
The draft this episode was hilarious 😂
how do i get notified to watch this live next time when jaylen or tatum is interviewed?????
