Kenny Smith
He was a member of two NBA championships teams with the Houston Rockets in 1994 and 1995
Before his NBA career, Smith played college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels, where he earned consensus first-team All-American honors in his senior year in 1987. His impressive college performance led to his selection as the sixth overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. Smith made an immediate impact in the league, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Throughout his career, he was known for his leadership on the court, his ability to run the offense as a point guard, and his clutch shooting, particularly in high-pressure playoff situations.
After retiring from professional basketball, Smith transitioned into a successful career as a sports commentator. He became a prominent figure on TNT's Emmy Award-winning show, Inside the NBA, where his insightful analysis and charismatic personality have made him a fan favorite. Smith's expertise and experience as a former player allow him to provide unique perspectives on the game, making him one of the most respected voices in basketball commentary. In addition to his work on Inside the NBA, Smith also serves as an analyst for CBS/Turner during the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, further solidifying his reputation as a top basketball analyst.
Smith's post-playing career has not only been defined by his work in broadcasting but also by his role as a motivational speaker and sports ambassador. His ability to connect with audiences, both in the studio and at live events, has made him a sought-after speaker for corporate events, sports clinics, and motivational seminars. Smith's journey from a standout college player to an NBA champion and respected commentator serves as an inspiration to many aspiring athletes and professionals alike.
