Lakers News: Marcus Smart Explains How He Developed Leadership Ability
Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart discussed how he developed as a leader and how he's approached the team so far.
Marcus Smart was one of the best under-the-radar signings of the offseason, as the veteran guard can help a team when healthy.
The Los Angeles Lakers are certainly hoping Smart is ready to go for the start of the 2025-26 season, and the veteran seems on track to do so.
While Smart is known for the defensive end, he’s also a valuable voice on and off the floor for L.A.
“Being the youngest of four boys. You gotta kinda speak up for yourself,”
he said.
“If you don’t, then you kinda get left in the dust. And for me, I wasn’t going to let that happen. My family, my brothers, being that youngest you definitely have to find your voice early and that helps a lot.”
