His final tweet may have put Celtics’ fans at ease and the whole NBA world in celebration mode. Smart wrote, “Oh, I forgot the rest“, as he shared a picture of the beaming couple. Hallum was seen flashing her diamond ring, standing beside a happy Marcus Smart.
According to ‘Yahoo! News’, Smart proposed to his Hallum on Christmas. What’s more is that apparently, another celebrity was involved in this momentous occasion. In the full video of the proposal (shared by the NBA player), Will Smith segued the moment. Smith wished them a Merry Christmas on a video and said, “You’re not going to end this Christman empty-handed.” As if on cue, Smart goes down on one knee, and then the rest is history.

NBC Boston has recorded that Marcus Smart has lifted the Boston Celtics with his great performances. “The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has been outstanding this season, averaging 11.4 points and a career-high 7.4 assists while shooting a personal-best 43.1 percent from the floor”, was the verdict.
His fans would hope that he would be able to boast of another ring, namely, the championship ring this season. It is quite possible since the Celtics have dominated the NBA table and sit at the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
