VIDEO: Marcus Smart considers flopping, instead slaps opponent in the face
Oklahoma State point guard Marcus Smart's antics this season have caused many onlookers to question his decision to return to Stillwater for his sophomore season, foregoing a sure top-five selection in the 2013 NBA Draft.
His play has been so heavily scrutinized that, even in the midst of a strong run which has put the Cowboys back into the NCAA Tournament conversation, a video like this is getting significant play on social media two days after the team's win over Kansas State.
In it, Smart is seen in what appears to be mid-flop (a major problem for him this year), at which point he elects not to flop, and instead slaps a Kansas State player square in the face. Have a look.
The funny thing is, while Smart's antics have caused his draft stock to fall, that could see him land in a better situation, which could help his career in the long run.
