Probably one of the prettiest shots I've seen this century. I'm referring to Marcus' shot in the 4th quarter(?) where he went up and under and reversed it off the back board. Anyone else think that this was something Larry Bird might have come up with?

If someone has a link to this shot could you post it...thanks! 

Isaiah's shot while falling down and getting fouled was another spectacular shot.

Is the shot you're talking about (happened in the 2Q though, Smart didn't score in the 4th)?

If so, personally thought it was more Jordan or Dr. J-esque, but pretty sweet nonetheless  ;)

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

That play was so smooth. Wish he finished around the rim like that all the time! That lead bounce pass with one arm he delivered to Bradley was just as smooth too. Guy has it all, really. I think he is going to be considered for 6th man awards going forward.

Once in a lifetime move for Smart

Literally.

You see that type of move everyday in the NBA. Kyrie practically does something like that alost twice every game

But for Smart you are shocked.

Nonetheless good move. Im more amazed by IT , you just don't see this type of confidence and domination everyday.
