WATCH: Marcus Smart’s best clutch plays in the NBA (2014-20)

There may be no better player in the NBA in responding to unthinkable adversity with winning plays than veteran Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart, and in the clutch, he only goes harder.

In fact, the Flower Mound, Texas native excels in the last two minutes of games when the score is close, having assembled quite a repertoire of shots to tie the game or take the lead in the waning seconds of a contest.

And that’s not even considering all of the ridiculous defensive stops he seems to pull out of a hat with regularity, ripping the ball from the hands from centers half again his size, or sending a go-ahead bucket into the stands.

Since he was drafted sixth overall by the Celtics in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma State product has been a part of countless clutch plays so far in his six-season career.

Watch the video embedded above to see the very best of them — though you have probably had more than one of them already burned into your memory forever with the sheer incredulity of some of the makes he’s managed over the years.
