Why veteran Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart is one of the NBA’s most intangible players

When it comes to what veteran Boston Celtics floor general Marcus Smart brings to his team, putting into words that reflect said value can be something of a challenge. And it is that ineffable boost Smart supplies on both ends of the court that has the Flower Mound native included in a recent video dedicated to such players around the NBA.

The former Oklahoma State player finds ways to affect winning in ways that defy not only your expectations but sometimes, seemingly, the very laws of physics. His cobra strikes on opposing offenses can see the Celtic guard come away with possession of a ball in critical moments, or see a career 33.6% 3-point shooter win the game with a huge night beyond the arc.
