In a recent interview with NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin, former Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart discussed his current situation with the Memphis Grizzlies and reflected on his time in Boston. Despite not being able to play due to a sprained ankle, Smart remains optimistic and takes each day as it comes.

As much as the trade stung, Smart made peace with things at his wedding in California this summer, where all his former Boston teammates attended. They reminisced and said their goodbyes, providing Smart with a sense of closure. When asked about his legacy in Boston, Smart hopes to be remembered as a dedicated player who gave his all for the team.

Despite the trade, Smart still holds love for Boston and considers it a place close to his heart.

Charles McDonald is joined by the Ringer's Steven Ruiz to react to the firing of Panthers Head Coach Frank Reich, their takeaways from Week 12 of the NFL and Steven's infamous quarterback rankings.

Next, Charles and Steven dive into their takeaways from Week 12. Discourse has emerged around Josh Allen and Justin Herbert due to their disappointing seasons thus far, but Charles steps in to defend both quarterbacks, who are actually having great seasons.

Stroud at #15, Brock Purdy towards the bottom, Sam Howell at #24 and Derek Carr in the middle of the pack.
