Winning that award as the first guard since GP to win it then getting it handed to you by the man himself is just awesome.
GP fumbled the speech
Even though statistically Gobert is the best defender in the league, but whatever...
@@Orion-rl7js i mean statistically jokic is the best player in the nba but we all know he isnt
@@GoldenBoy-sq6yl he is but ok
@@albertc2390 lol he may have had a cold one before his speech but that’s ok 😂
Congrats to Smart. Crazy no guard has won DPOY since GP, definitely feel like Tony Allen shoulda had one.
Yeah dude gave steph, Kobe and all the hardest guards a tuff time scoring
Facts Tony should have at least won one of them
Tony Allen definitely should of had one.
@Somebody Daddy 215 he was about 6'4"... He was listed as a SG during his career. These days he could've been listed as a SF though.
@Somebody Daddy 215 that’s what I was thinking too definitely a forward but locked up mostly on guards.
Well deserved after 5 years of incredible play! The man you hate unless he's on your team.
8 years but i totally agree
Kyrie dropped 39 on him last night 🥴🥴

This is a great confidence booster for the Celtics.
Exactly! I feel like this might fuel KD and Kyrie on the offensive end too tho 👀

That is awesome!!! He so deserves this. Playing like him shortens your career.
Right!!!! But he does it every night on the floor

lucky he 90% muscle haha

Why does he "deserve it?" Don't give me some nephew trash take. Tell me why, statistically why he deserves it over Gobert, Bam, and even Giannis? Again, don't give me some regurgitated media narrative BS about "a guard should get it because they haven't in a long time" hot take. Tell me why Marcus smart was +20000 to win the award, and leap frogged 4 people, including his own teammate in Williams, who is actually their best defender on the team....😒
I’m lakers fan but you can’t hate on Marcus man he’s been grinding on defence and after 5 years of incredible play
Finally getting that recognition. He has been working very hard for the team. This is dope
I appreciate GP being there to give him the award. Such a wholesome moment. Congrats also to the NBA for setting all of this up. 👏
Sidney Moncrief... Alvin Roberson... Michael Cooper (COOOOOOOP)...... Michael Jordan (GOAT)..... Gary Payton.... That is quite the list you joined there Marcus Smart. Well Done.
I love how they reveal these awards since last year(?). having teammates or someone special surprise them is so dope. a lot better than the nba award show they were doing a few years ago lol.
so much more genuine
I mean I like this and I also like when they receive the award in front f the crowd as well
About time. Heart and soul of the Celtics for almost a whole decade.

@@americanboy79 I am not a Kyrie/Nets fan. Even if I was it’s a 7 game series last time I checked. My point is he shouldn’t be the DPOY. Mikal Bridges is more worthy.
Let’s go Marcus my favorite defensive player of all time Glove gave him the award that’s so priceless give my dawg his flowers let’s go big smart young game changer this is his mvp very emotional moment been watching this guy for 8 yrs this guy is the embodiment of Boston u can’t talk about Boston without mentioning Marcus smart
Congrats Marcus, you take a beating every game getting in peoples faces. Respect, this is overdue.
Kyrie scored 39 on him yesterday
@@ghostballs1874 what’s your point? The Celtics had the #1 team defense this year and he is the floor leader. The Celtics defense was rightly focused on KD and the attitude was let Kyrie beat us, he was hot and almost did. I’d bet Kyrie would fully support Smart for DPY.
I'm kinda upset Giannis didn't win it but hey, this is a great achievement for all defensive PG's out there
Yeah I don’t get how he went from #1 in the rankings for like 3 weeks late in the season to not even being top 3

Well deserved. Maaan I'm so happy for Marcus. He works so hard on both ends
That’s my DPOY!!! Congrats Mahhcus Smahhht 🛡🏆
😂😂😂
Smart totally deserves this. You need to be super fit , athletic and consistent to win a dpoy as a guard . What I am saying is it’s super hard. Just look how many guards won it. And for mj to won MVP , scoring champion and dpoy at the same time just another level. He just up there by himself
Never will happen again
@@bigbadb4492 it’s funny it should be rlly difficult, but I actually think Giannis has a real chance of doing that someday. I mean look how close he came this year
@@calebmurphy1361 close yes but scoring might be the problem
@@bigbadb4492 Yeah Giannis isn't a scoring title type of guy, he doesn't care about that so he's not going to tryhard for it, he just wants to win games and championships. Also Bud manages his load really carefully so he doesn't play close to as many minutes as the other superstars. If Giannis played Embiid minutes this season he would have easily had the scoring title, but that doesn't matter to him or the Bucks
Yeah smart one of my favorite defensive players in the league today
Finally Gobert didn’t win it, it blows my mind how he’s in the conversation if not wins it every year but none of the players see him as that. They attack him almost every possession
He’s a defence first score later type of player, but he can’t guard all 5 positions. But he’s not the problem in Utah, Donovan is
Preach.. You can’t be attacked in pick and rolls and be seen as the best defensive player in the NBA..
@@callmestubz I'm happy someone else see it
He is a God on the interior defense but that is it, he cant guard the perimeter. The Jazz front office only surrounded him with offense first players and no defenders that can guard the perimeter. The only good perimeter defender I can think of that is on the Jazz is Royce O'Neale.
Gobert locks the paint down, if you watch game carefully, lots of players who beat their initial guard, and go in the paint, end up passing it back outside, dribbling back outside, or settling for a midrange, outside shot, almost scared to put it up if Gobert is in the paint.
You know the Glove was high as giraffes 🦒 pucci 😂 he could barely get the words out
So happy to see Smart finally win the DPOY award. I think he has deserved to win it every year since his rookie year. Congrats
Smart of Marcus
Wasn’t gonna be mad as long as it was smart or bridges

U would be mad if giannis won
@@iliketurtles7782 Giannis wasn't a finalist. He's talking about Rudy
@@theinktician yeah ik but he should of been one
The last guard to win the DPOY was Gary Payton back in 96, and now Marcus Smart is the DPOY, this is a huge achievement for Smart, and this also gives defensive guards hope that they can win DPOY one day 💪
damn, no need for the video when we have this comment huh?
@@mheppal exactly what I was thinking
Ive never been more happy to see someone win an award!!💯
Well deserved! So happy for him!

Much respect, Marcus!

@@ghostballs1874 Celtics in the Finals and Kyrie golfing, but ok.
Definitely well deserved. There were some good candidates this year for sure but I agree Marcus was on the top of all of them
What an amazing moment with GP there... congrats Marcus!!
I am glad that Marcus Smart won that award because you can tell that when he is on the court he plays hard defense against other teams. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.
Love it!!! If everyone had his passion we would win every game
Good for him by golly. #1 Defender on the #1 Defensive Team.
Not to mention his INCREDIBLE Passing ability.
Celtic fan for 60 years. Cheers!
Played elite defense all year. Almost taking out the splash bro’s in one sequence secured it for me
😂😂😂
Awesome to see. GP's truly happy for him
Muwop is the first Celtic since KG to win DPOTY award. Congratulations Big dog, he definitely deserve it.
I'm really happy for Marcus Smart but the whole Celtics squad almost busted their ass and their ankles with sneakers on that court with water on the floor 😂🤣😂🤣😂
As a Celtics fan I’m like, this how Tatum or brown get hurt
@@dstahl5260 same here. I was praying that they got Rob Williams away from that water
One of my top 3 favorite players. His attitude is just swag and grit, best combo!
Congrats to Smart... for a guard to win the DPOY in THIS day and age is great man I'm proud of bro fr... and it was close between a lot of guys (Jaren Jackson Jr., Mikal Bridges, Giannis, Draymond if he plays more games) ... This is gon be big for Smart to flex like I got a DPOY in 2022 as a f*cking guard... aint seen this sh!t since GP
I got to see GP play when he and Ray Allen were in Seattle. Seen Marcus Smart play a few times. Smart is in rare air right now. Having GP there to deliver the award. Man... that some real right there
GP was traded for Ray. They were never in Seattle at the same time
The man should’ve won it the previous year also! It’s amazing that he’s come from being a bench player to The Defensive Player Of The Year! Bravo Marcus! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That's crazy Giannis not even in running smh
Fax and bam wasnt even a finalist! the nba tripping fr fr
@@themichaeldoug2979 he was top 3 but he missed too many games
This award really shows you how little people actually value defense. If they valued it the same way they value offence Marcus Smart should be in MVP discussions.
Wym?
@@maxwellpineiro MVP is usually decided based off offensive stats when it should be the entire game, both ends of the floor.
Defense isn't as valuable as offense because an offensive player is impacting virtually every possession, whereas Smart won't be involved every single time. The reality is Smart isn't nearly as good as Giannis offensively but roughly equivalent on defense - I would argue less, since the rim protection that bigs offer is really hard for a small to beat.
@@marco5030 Of course with the modern game, rim protection isn't nearly as important as it was even 10 years ago, let alone 20 years ago - especially when it's so easy to pull a big out of the paint with switches
cool off my guy celebrate your wins when u get them lol
Take a shot everytime they say "mannnn"
Congrats Smart!!!
Finally a guard win how the games is played now a guard got to cover a lot of ground on defensive while big men only protecting at the rim. Respect to Smart💯
As a die hard Celtics fan the craziest thing about this award is that Timelord(Robert Williams III) is just as if not more valuable than Smart in our defense and Smart still managed to get the award. Narrative aside, this bodes incredibly well for the longevity of the Celtics defensive dominance displayed this season
He deserves it all those hard works the hardest one when he dive and hit the floor for loose ball and sacrifice his body and he makes the game more exciting to watch.
this award is almost on the same level as mvp.
favorite player in the league, reppin' his jersey since 2017. couldn't be happier about this!!
Bro i got introduced to Marcus Smart with all those Shaqtin flops but here we are now.
It's incredible to earn that award as the first guard since GP and then have it presented to you by the man himself.👋👋
Congrats Marcus! We'll deserved, been doing it for years, glad he finally get some recognition for it
Congratulations Marcus Smart 👍
Dude can also be one of the most improved player over the last few years, congrats!!
facts
Marcus Smart comes out to play. He's a pitbull on defense. Gotta love guys like that on your team. Well deserved.
As a bucks fan I’m confused on how Giannis was #1 on the list for the whole year but got randomly removed. Still doesn’t matter though Smart deserves it 100%. Love you Boston
Yeah I was basically thinking the same exact thing, I thought Giannis deserved it but really can't complain with this outcome
Nba ladder was rly misleading, I don’t think Giannis was really in the convo, was between Smart, Gobert, and Bridges
Aaaaah yeah!!!!! Well deserved! Damn I'm happy for Marcus! Dude been BALLING!!
That's what's up! The Glove is my dude. Much love to the OG shoving love to Marcus Smart. You earned it Fam.
Congratulations Marcus.
Well deserved Marcus 👏 long overdue
As a lifelong Boston guy I've always said Smart is the heart and soul of the Celtics. When he's out their record is trash. When he's on the floor it's the polar opposite.
I feel a little better now from them aau days. 😂😂 Well deserved gamechanger. This guy is mamba mentality on defense
As a celtic fan I'm so thrilled. I remember everyone wanted to trade this man 🤦🏿♂️
wtf thats awesome hes the only guard since gp won it!! glad to be alive to witness it.
26 years of forwards and centers is crazy
My favorite player in the leauge finally got it
I’m so happy for him
Horford almost pulled a hammy trying to throw that water bottle😂😂

Nah u kids these days too lazy. Wont happen again unfortunately.

Congrats Marcus smart🔥💚💚💚💚💚
Speaking of Gary Payton it reminds me of the time I saw him in a parking garage in Boston after they lost in the playoffs. I was walking back to the car with my buddies and a Escalade pulls up and Antoine Walker gets out and so much smoke is around him. Gary Payton was driving and he had a huge Blount. There were three girls in the car. My friends and I went up to them and they were being so cool. I was talking to Walker and he’s just looking at me smiling because he was high as a kite and I was drunk lol my other buddies asked Gary if we could go with them and party he just said “you white boys are crazy“ then started laughing rolled up the window and drove off🤣 what a great night. Imagine if he took us with him.
One of my absolute favorite players. Well deserved 💪🏾

The smile of a man who flopped his way to a DPOY award: priceless. For everything else, there is Mastercard.
About time. Been the best defender in the league for a while now.
its so tough to pick one player.. a handful of guys deserve it. but congrats to marcus smart. he is definitely one of them.
as a player who is focused on defence, hope to win this award 1 year 🤞🤞🤞
Don’t fall we need All of Y’all!!
Let's gooooo Marcus. Love you man. So proud of you!!!
Sidney Moncrief, Alvin Robertson, Michael Cooper, and Michael Jordan were all guards too.
They are all shooting guards. GP is the only PG to win one before Smart.
