Marcus Smart is freshly invigorated from inking his new four-year, $52 million deal with the Boston Celtics, and he's showing it with his offseason workouts, recently throwing down a monster bounce-to-the-oop reverse jam during his latest session.

This is one bad-man jam that will have Celtics fans salivating for his return next season, now locked into a long-term deal.
While Smart isn't much of a skywalker during NBA games, it wouldn't be surprising to see him put some extra mustard on his dunks once he gets a hold of a steal in the open court — having had many to his name already.
The Celtics will live without Smart risking injury with delicious dunks like this one, having had two prolonged absences last season, but this sneak-preview is one the fans will watch out for next time Smart has the coast cleat during a breakaway.
The 6-foot-4 Oklahoma State product could be in line for a breakout season after posting back-to-back career-best seasons, averaging 10.2 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game in 2017-18.
While Marcus Smart is obviously most known for his stifling defense, this is yet another reason for Boston fans to smile as the team heads toward a season in which the Celtics are favorites to come out of the East.
