VIDEO: Celtics' Smart shows off footy skills with series of keep-ups

Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Celtics are in Italy for training camp and a series of friendlies against European clubs.

So, when in Rome - or some 410 miles north of there, in Lake Como - point guard Marcus Smart figured that he'd do as the Azzurri would.

Dressed in a sweater and track pants, Smart took to the streets of Lago Di Como to show off a little skill with the feet.

Smart is far from the first NBA player to show interest in the beautiful game. Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash are both huge fans of soccer.
