The Los Angeles Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors on October 22 in a tense game. Though the Warriors beat them 119-109, it was the Lakers’ new addition, Marcus Smart, who stole the night with his flashy on-court presence. Marcus signed a two-year, $11 million deal with the Lakers, and others praised his cleats to help the team.

The veteran guard started to show his aggression on the court in the early part of the season. In a recent game with the Sacramento Kings, he showed up angry at the referee for a missed foul call. In his last 15 games, Smart put up solid numbers with 10.6 points, 3.2 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game. His recent three-point shooting has risen to 39.2% in the last 15 games.

A recent viral clip of the game between the Warriors and the Lakers shows Marcus made a dramatic flop against the Warriors’ key player, Stephen Curry. This reminds fans of Smart’s reputation as one of the NBA’s most skilled floppers. The 31-year-old fell down on the court, and the moment quickly gained a lot of public attention.

With LeBron James out of the core, the Lakers face a major gap in their depth. However, Luka Doncic’s leadership and the rest of the team’s effective on-court performance could help the team find a positive rhythm ahead in the league.

Smart was surprised when he heard Luka Doncic wanted him on the Lakers. At first, he thought his agent was joking. But once he knew it was real, he was excited to join Luka and the team.

“I’m ecstatic, man,” Smart told ESPN LA. “I’m excited. When my agent told me Luka called him and was very interested, I didn’t believe him at first. I’m not gonna lie. I’m like, ‘You’re joking. I’m a jokester, so you probably get me back for something.’

Smart is a strong defender and a former NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He chose the Lakers over teams like the Phoenix Suns, mostly because Doncic helped recruit him. Last season, he played for the Memphis Grizzlies and averaged 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 34 games, and he is now ready to contribute to the Lakers’ core.
