The last time Marcus Smart did an in-game flip… it didn’t go so well.
This has been much more enjoyable.
The Celtics guard was lying on his back during a win over the Bulls on Monday. Then, he suddenly sprung to his feet – a moment that garnered widespread delight and awe.

Marcus Smart said he has been surprised that his ninja flip has gotten so much attention. He learned flipping at an early age, adding that he was just a kid “flipping in the hood.”
