The holidays have to be tough for Marcus Smart

The holiday season for anyone who has recently lost someone close to them can be heart-rending. Marcus Smart lost his mother Camellia, to cancer on September 16th of this year. I lost my mom, Louise Lane, to cancer when she was 46 years old and I was 22. More than half-a-century later, it still hurts.

The information of Marcus going to the Celtics practice facility to talk to his ailing mom does not surprise me. It is a great story.

An awfully sad, touching story about Marcus Smart, who goes to the Celtics practice facility in the middle of the night to talk to his mom, who died in September, when no one can hear.
