Marcus Smart's biography

The 28-year-old was born to Camellia Smart (mother) and Billy Frank (father). He was brought up in Texas alongside his elder brothers, Jeff Westbrook, Michael, and Todd. Marcus Smart's family lived in a crime-ridden area that nearly influenced the basketball star to become a gangster. Luckily, their mother was always there to shield them from indulging in criminal activities.

Smart's brother, Todd, died of cancer in 2004, aged 33. As a result, Marcus wore No. 3 and No. 33 during his high school and university careers to honour his late brother. Todd was also a basketball player who wore jersey No.3.
