If you like this video but wish it didn't have that ticker on there, I have a rerelease here (minus the ticker): th-cam.com/video/kdbSTFKAId0/w-d-xo.html
THIS is how defense is supposed to be played. He’s going up with big guys and guarding the best handlers and isn’t scared to get embarrassed. And he does it with so much heart.
That isn't scared to be embarrassed must be a new thing. Growing up getting embarrassed happens but you keep on playing. Whether that's getting posterized, or crossed over.
jobber precioso I mean I guess the same thing applies to pat bev but he’s more annoying than he is a good defender. We know him for antics more than his play
The first defensive play in this video where he denies Kawhi the ball and does a diving save throwing the ball off of Kawhi's foot is one of the most beautiful defensive plays/camera shots ever.
He has a very rare ability to know when to swipe down on the ball. Other guys do it but definitely not as often and it's usually something that would be a foul in most player cases
Nobody Gets more steals then smart by taking the ball from the defender. there are some guys that play the passing lane better but thats just because Smart is always guarding the best player who usually has the ball.
Tonight was a reminder of the incalculable things Smart brought, along with the hustle stats; he played to the bone, and he wouldnt have let the C's get whooped on at home by a hospital squad from Miami. And these teams played harder, and with more joy, than this current group does - and I think that was Marcus, too.
Every championship team needs great role players. That is what Smart started out as. He is nowhere close to Brown or Tatum right now, but he just keeps getting better and better every year. Hes making better shot selections, reducing his turnovers, his passes are more accurate and despite being elite defensively, he actually is getting better.
I don't wanna say NEXT, but I've been working on a Bam comp since the season started. I wanted him to be my first video but then he really blew up (deservedly so) and I put that on the backburner a little.
@@EvinGualberto I like how you put clips of the same move together, it helps when I want to study a players move or footwork, the different angles are great for that
@@zapdos6244 that's the idea! When I was coming up, I'd watch the same clip of the same move over and over and over trying to figure out everything about. But the beauty more now is availability. A player's go-to move or a counter to that move can teach you a lot and now that problem for me sometimes is overemphasizing that move on a video that's supposed to be more comprehensive 😅
Evin Gualberto can you please do a video of Marcus Smart defending bigs? I love so much the hustle and the toughness that he brings in this soft league.
Hate the Celtics with a passion... got a lot of respect for Smart though. Dude is such an ELITE defender. Might be the best pure lockdown guard we’ve seen since Tony Allen
Kinda like Rodman w/o the rebounding, back in the Pistons days. Drawing charges, constantly pressuring and bothering the offense, can guard multiple positions.
@@cosby7141 only AD can give u 20+ ppg on that team, pat bev and Draymond (now) barely get u 10 a game, you have nobody actually running point, and you have no reliable 3pt shooter. How do you generate offense?
As good as he is at defense he gets plenty of respect that he rightfully deserves but unfortunately he will never get the respect he deserves for how good a passer he is, I mean 8:53 is an insane play

Yesssirrr

Yep
You talking about pat beverley?
jobber precioso I mean I guess the same thing applies to pat bev but he’s more annoying than he is a good defender. We know him for antics more than his play
Hell yeah. He’s a straight hustle player.
Man he is so underrated, without him the Celtics wouldn't win as much as they do
He should 100% be a starter
Sometime he's too lazy in screen switches and help defence or in the court in general, this is when he become a liability for his team.
Was gonna say the same, couldn’t agree more
@@marwaneouad6804 putting Marcus Smart and "lazy" in the same sentence is about the equivalent to saying that God works at Home Depot.
@@rainoffire24 i said sometimes, cause i see the celtic games not just the highlighs or opinions.

If you don't appreciate the type of player he is you not a true fan of the game
I’m so glad you made this clip because everyone else only posts offensive highlights
Marcus is looking like a rim protector at 6'3, thats effort and heart
Johnny Modric what do u mean he’s looking like he is one
I’m like 4”10.7 and get on my school’s b-ball team I have to guard 5-6 footers. So yeah, impressive but not that impressive
@@whydoiexist7029 That's ain't even comparable and you know it because guys in the League are by far more Athletic , got length and are strong
Why Do I Exist How old are you?
Nathaniel Wtf 14, turning 15 this September.
all defensive first team again 🔒
His ability to keep the ball in-play after the steal/pick-pocket and start a fastbreak is underrated.
I love these lockdown defender videos
Absolute bulldog. Loved him coming out of OK State. Other than Tatum, he’s the only Celtic I wish played for my Lakers
Me too
Lakers had him it would be amazing him and Ad clamps
Michael Li hold up.. you don’t wish kemba player for the Lakers? Jaylen Brown?
@@mocash4321 They can keep kemba. I'd take Jaylen over Kuz but he's to inconsistent for me
Michael Li kemba is a top 5 PG in the league and you wouldnt want him??
Smart > beverly
That’s a hard one but yea for sure
I like em both but I agree
You are goddamned right.
He can guard anyone he wants
Big facts
That ones obvious 😂
The video we’ve all been waiting for
Easily becoming one of my favorite players. High IQ, aggressive, and gritty.
Stephen The13th being aggressive means he will get more fouls, but idk why, but she doesn’t get called for all of the,
@@whydoiexist7029 Because he's smart (no pun intended). He uses techniques that don't results to silly fouls.
This is what you call “Outside the Box Stats”
*This how people play D at after getting ripped*
Yeah except they just foul lol “this dude not scoring again”
He has a very rare ability to know when to swipe down on the ball. Other guys do it but definitely not as often and it's usually something that would be a foul in most player cases
There’s a difference of having to play defense and wanting to play defense, Smart’s an asset to any team he plays for.
MAN! this video isnt too recent but hearing tommy's voice again strikes alittle nerve. Rest in paradise legend!
Marcus "Winning Play" Smart
The defensive version of Russel Westbrook
Mike Crisp that’s a good analogy
Pure energy and aggression
Nah westbrick sucks
@@m3gay Explain to me how a former mvp sucks?🤣🤣
@@jeffreyware8778 dont mind him man

I love watching him guarding big man. I'm always the smallest player on the court and I can learn a lot from him.
@James Robert well he is 6'4 but he is very strong for a guard at his size
Give this man the DPOY
Krazy Nugg3t hell no
😁
He got it!!
@@Tyler-yb2qb he finally got it
@@krazynugg3t287 image picking Rudy over him couldn't believe it last year
Man it would be a crime if never won a defensive player of the year give this man some credit. 💯👌
Smart hands! I'm very unlucky not able to see this cuz am only wathing highlights from youtube.. Glad u uploaded this vid. Thanks alot!!
he’s someone you hate to go against but you’ll appreciate it later
What makes Marcus so good, he plays smart!
My dude Smart had defensive player of the year in the bag. Too bad the season got cut short. Hopefully they still give out awards for the season
Smart got snubbed he ain’t even get top 3 over Giannis or Gobert like cmon man!
Excellent top tier defender
He really a Grizzles player now wish him the best but we gon miss u Brody
He should have at least one defensive player of the year before his career is up
Hes like a compact version of rodman
That steal into a no look with the left was amazing
I really wish Him a speedy recovery. The man plays wit all his heart u gotta respect that 🙏

you cannot hate this dude even as an opponent. respect!
As for me the best highlights are for Celtics33 and Celtics36..never tired watching those.
3:48 give me that
Greatest Flopper of All Time but also a great player for the Celtics
Love these defensive lockdown vids 👌🏽
He's too goooood
The play at 2:32 is a great microcosm of what Smart provides for his team. Elite defense and great passing.
Can you do Bam Adebayo next?
I don't wanna say NEXT, but I've been working on a Bam comp since the season started. I wanted him to be my first video but then he really blew up (deservedly so) and I put that on the backburner a little.
The play where he rips it off Zach Lavine and throws a one handed bounce pass to Hayward is peak Marcus Smart.
God bless
Bruh really the smartest in the nba
Get well soon Mr. Smart. I patterned my game from you.
Dude your channel is lit. Love these vids you put out
zapdos6244 I appreciate that! Thank you!

Do more of marcus smart he's my idol
What else can be said..
Dude is Smart
Wow! Marcus Smart is so smart!
Great great vid.please make more of these
Evin Gualberto can you please do a video of Marcus Smart defending bigs? I love so much the hustle and the toughness that he brings in this soft league.
You think you'll make another for dpoy year?
Love this channel ❤️
My favorite player.
Marcus Smart slander is not allowed in this house.
Straight hustle player.
If kemba leaves, Marcus smart should be our starting point guard tbh
Hate the Celtics with a passion... got a lot of respect for Smart though. Dude is such an ELITE defender. Might be the best pure lockdown guard we’ve seen since Tony Allen
Fast Hands, Quick Feets and Great Defensive Awarneess
if you look closely, all celtics players moves in sync when it comes to defense. smart is just really outstanding.
This dude should’ve been the dpoy incredible defensly this guy is underrated
He is my favorite defender to watch
Could you do one of Avery Bradley, jaylen brown, Bam (defense), dejounte Murray🤗
YEAAAAAAAAAAAH BABY!
Kinda like Rodman w/o the rebounding, back in the Pistons days. Drawing charges, constantly pressuring and bothering the offense, can guard multiple positions.
His timing is nuts.
if marcus can guard giannis... the league needs to watch out for this man
Ahhhh refreshing during the shutdown. Great defense.
Clamps
He sticks like a magnet
This is how you play D back in the 80's and 90's.
definition of a lockdown defender
I cannot get out of the house cause Smart's lockdown
i ain even know he was this good till i watched the whole video no lie
That boy Make shit Happen
In this league with too many three pointers he still guards big men and isn’t scared to take a charge
Damn . This is good. 👍
🔥 thumbnail. I think you should do a watermark on your vids moving forward instead of the ticker. People can crop out the bottom of the video.
Eric L agreed
True, but they could also just remove where the watermark would be. Just wanted to try it out.
He should be in the DPOY race easily
very good video.
He so smarttt
Post more defense highlights plzzzzzzz
What if him, averey bradly, pat bev, draymon and AD are on the same team...
You get no fucking offense LMAO
Nicholas Yuan nigga what...
Cosby Tf you mean nigga what? Its true dumbass
@@cosby7141 only AD can give u 20+ ppg on that team, pat bev and Draymond (now) barely get u 10 a game, you have nobody actually running point, and you have no reliable 3pt shooter. How do you generate offense?
Anyone else hear him say “Gimme That!” on the blocks of Jarrett Allen and Justin Jackson?
How many steps did Giannis take @ 0:38 ? Holy shit
Robert Covington?
Do rajon rondo pls. His finishing package.. finnesse
DPOY 💯
Smart can guard 1 through 5. Defense is all heart!
His IQ Off the charts
He got them clampers
As good as he is at defense he gets plenty of respect that he rightfully deserves but unfortunately he will never get the respect he deserves for how good a passer he is, I mean 8:53 is an insane play
0:38 He said whoa 7 times in 2 seconds. Whoa
So good his defense
I love these videos but I really want a Jamal Crawford video
The kind of player that i want to be
Depoy winner 2022
