Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart announced via his Instagram page on Christmas day that he has gotten engaged to his girlfriend, Maisa Hallum. Not only that, but he used celebrity and movie star Will Smith to set up the proposal.
Smart and Hallum were watching Smith, who was making a video for them while apparently traveling through Antarctica. Smith made it brief.
“I just wanted to wish you a very, very merry Christmas. I know that you may not have gotten the stuff that you wanted, but I promise you’re not going to end this Christmas empty-handed. That’s all I’m going to say from Antarctica,” Smith said.
When Smith was done, Smart got on his knee to propose, which Hallum accepted.

Current Celtics teammates, like Jayson Tatum and Blake Griffin, congratulated Smart on the engagement on his Instagram post, as did former Celtics teammates Kelly Olynyk, Evan Turner, and Amir Johnson. Other players from around the NBA, like Obi Toppin of the New York Knicks, also congratulated Smart on the big announcement.
