Smart now believes he will be booed when he returns to Boston to play the Celtics. The reason will be the purple and gold threads he’ll be donning.

“I can try to anticipate it. I have no idea, but I could definitely tell and say that I’m expecting a lot of boos. I’m expecting a lot of hate, and it’s okay. I understand it.”

The Celtics-Lakers rivalry is indeed alive and the Boston faithful certainly won’t hold back on Smart. Not when he’s wearing a Lakers jersey.
