A new reward distributed by the NBA! While the vast majority of trophies have already been awarded, the League awarded the 2023 Hustle Award at the end of the afternoon.
And three for Marcus Smart! After 2019 and 2022, the Boston point guard makes the pass of three. It must be said that this reward corresponds rather well to the mentality and qualities of the man. The idea is simple, all the behind the scenes work that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet but makes the team win is brought to light. Diving to save a ball, deflections, force passes, contested shots… All those little things that don’t always get the spotlight but are so important.
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is the winner of the 2022-23 NBA Hustle Award.
Smart has earned the annual honor for the second straight season and the third time in five seasons.

Still engaged in the Playoffs with the Celtics, the guard offers himself a trophy that he knows very well. Created in 2016, the Hustle Award has already been offered three times to Mister Intelligent: in 2019, 2022 and therefore 2023. 3 in 7 years, not disgusting as a ratio. He is also the only winner to hold several titles. In the final standings, Smart finishes in the lead ahead of Draymond Green, Aaron Nesmith, Mitchell Robinson and Herb Jones. Something tells us that this is not the last time he adds this line to his charts.
