Marcus Smart Reflects On Guarding Kobe Bryant: ‘I Was Shaking In My Shoes’ (via NESN)
the daunting task of defending the five-time NBA champ the last time the two teams competed.
“For me, it was ‘This is Kobe,’ like the fact that I’m on the court with him, to watch him up this close and even have an opportunity to guard him for a stint, I’m not going to lie, I was shaking in my shoes,” Smart said with a smile. “You know, I’m a good defender, but you can’t guard that guy. “It was incredible and I mean, it’s sad. And I know myself and the NBA family is really mourning this and it hurts. We all grew up watching Kobe and he like lit the pathway for us to believe in ourselves and to go out there and understand that we have a blessing and a gift and a craft that we need to hone it and do everything we can to take full advantage of it. So for us, Kobe was everything.”
