This isn't Marcus Smart's first time at the flop rodeo.
The Boston Celtics' resident bull in a china shop put his demonstrative nature to use while defending the larger Carmelo Anthony on Tuesday night.
Since the New York Knicks All-Star has about four inches and 20 pounds on the Celtics' sophomore, Smart employed the most loathsome tactic in all of basketball.
Anthony missed his shot horribly, which was no doubt part of Smart's elaborate plan.
With the Oscars around the corner, let's revisit some of Smart's most convincing performances:
