The post, which seemingly commandeered the crew of the movie based off the editing and multiple camera angles, shows Smith rushing past a youthful defender in the key for an easy layup. And, yes, there is an instant replay. It seems to be a classic move for the rapper, as his old partner, DJ Jazzy Jeff commented: "Still got the classic drive to the lane...Love it."

But it's not a second later when Smith is getting schooled himself by the set's extra, bouncing the ball between a defending Smith's legs to set himself up for a basket. As one commenter remarked: "Will, you got cooked."
Smith himself, tried to brush off the play in his caption:
"On Set @badboys We had some kids playin ball. So I went over to mess around wit em. These kids today dont respect their elders! Hahaha. :-)"
All the while Kurtis Blow's anthem for the sport "Basketball" acts as a soundtrack for the clip. Which, if you haven't watched the video of, oh man are you missing out. Here, just take a minute and enjoy this:
Bad Boys for Life is slated for a January 17, 2020 release. That's 25 years since the original. Until then, we'll be checking in on Smith's instagram for updates from the set.
To the hoop, y'all.
