Veteran Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart won the NBA’s 2022-23 Hustle Award earlier this week, his second consecutive season of being so honored — and the third time he has won the award in a five-year span.
Beating former teammate Aaron Nesmith (now with the Indiana Pacers) among other worthy competitors, the Flower Mound native was honored for his continuous dedication to giving it his all on the parquet, whether diving for loose balls or finding that extra gear on defense in key moments.
To honor Smart’s award this season, fan videographer Tomazs Kordylewski put together a clip of the best hustle plays Smart has unleashed on unwitting opponents in the 2022-23 season so far.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to see it for yourself.
