The Serbian Shuffle: Darko Aping Ali
Long before Muhammad Ali earned fame with the rope-a-dope, there was the Ali Shuffle.
Take a look at video #1 above, then scroll to the end of video number #2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is none other than the Dark Lord doing his best impersonation of Cassius Clay.
That now makes two Celtics taking plays from the Champ's playbook.
Three, if you count Doc Rivers using Ali's fights as motivation during the 2008 NBA playoffs.

In case you have trouble finding the relevant language on the third link:
"[Perkins] was dominating in the paint," said P.J. Brown, who played nearly 14 minutes off the bench. "If he continues to play like that, we are a tough team to beat." When the Pistons began making a push late in the game, Perkins said all he needed to do was think back to the series of Muhammad Ali fights that Rivers has showed the team recently
