Chris Smith wasn’t feeling the music blaring inside the Mo Ostin Center when he shot free throws with his UCLA teammates earlier this week, so he changed the tune on the cutting-edge sound system.
Lifting his knees high off the court and moving his arms rhythmically, the sophomore guard bopped with such vigor that assistant coach Tyus Edney couldn’t help but point and laugh. Smith commenced a series of spin moves near midcourt before sprinting toward one end of the court to resume shooting.
It seems like everything for Smith this season is one joyous endeavor.
