Celtics guard Marcus Smart has been sporting green hair during this year’s playoff run.
Ahead of Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Warriors, Smart revealed the meaningful reason behind dyeing his hair apart from just representing the Celtics’ primary color.
“[My mom] always loved my hair [and] the things I was doing with it, from the braids to letting it grow out,” Smart said, via NBA. “And I started to dye it and she really liked that. She always said she wanted to see me in green, but obviously she passed away so she never got to see me [with green hair]. So, when we started this playoff run, I was like, ‘For her, I’m gonna go ahead and dye it and see what it looks like.’ Everybody loved it, so now it’s kinda here.”
