Well, these remarkable qualities apparently have earned the Boston Celtics guard a new nickname.

For those unaware, Wolverine is a an X-Men character who, among other things, has the ability to heal from nearly any wound. No word yet on whether Smart is made of Adamantium or some other rare metal.
