As the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities kicked off Friday night, Marcus Smart got a chance to participate in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, a game that pits the top NBA rookies and sophomores against each other.
The current format features a USA team and a World team. Former OSU point guard and lottery pick Marcus Smart got the start for the USA squad.
Most important of course was Smart's choice in footwear.
