Jimmy Butler said Marcus Smart is “not about that life.”
Smart, via MassLive:
Laugh at that. This about the Celtics versus Chicago Bulls, not Marcus Smart versus Jimmy. I ain’t got to sit here and say this and that. I’m this. I’m that. I ain’t that type of guy. My actions speak louder than words. It ain’t hard to find me. But, right now, I’m focused on my teammates and this series.
That led to a few excellent follow-up questions:
Are you about that life?
Like I said before, I ain’t got to talk about what I am about. I just show you. I can show you, but I’m not going to tell you. Like I said, it ain’t hard to find me. You heard him. He said, “I don’t think Marcus Smart is about that life.” Last time I checked, if you’re going to say somebody ain’t about that life, you should know, right? But like I said, we’re going to keep this Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics, not Marcus vs. Jimmy.
Has anyone accused you not being tough before?
Never.
What was your reaction to that?
Haha.
Smart flops too much. He gets overly emotional.
But he’s way too tough to let Butler’s comments pass without rebuttal.
The real test will come on the court in Game 5 tomorrow.
