Besides I'm assuming the money, Marcus Smart said he was drawn to PUMA, due to their affiliation with current Hip Hop artists. Smart also credits former teammate Terry Rozier for putting him on to PUMA's low cut sneakers.
“It’s incredible,” said Smart about joining PUMA. “I like everything they’re doing. I like the family aspect. I like everything that they’re about and I’m just glad to be a part of the brand.”
Smart says the Clyde Hardwood changed his entire perspective on how low-tops play and credits former Celtics teammate and fellow PUMA Basketball athlete Terry Rozier with convincing him to give the brand a look.
