Marcus Smart remembers mother Camellia in social media tribute

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart posted a touching tribute to his mother, Camellia, on Monday night, one day after she lost her battle with cancer.

"I feel like I'm suffocating and the person who helps me get through things [has] left me but I know [you're] in a better place with no more worries, no more hurt, no more sadness or pain," Smart wrote in a note posted to Twitter. "Hate to let u go but I thank god for allowing me to have one of his [angels] to call my mom."

I love you, Mom.
