Glad he's doing well. Peace

[@daviddixon9233]

One the best dunkers of all time ..very underrated

God bless the hand that GIVETH...

[@CaneCorsoShow]

I'd love for him to own one of my puppies. His mentality on the court is what I hope my CC pups to be. Athletic, determined, high IQ

Josh Smith was a beast 💪

[@bbryant9455]

He really was

[@GrandinquisitorIK]

No. He just jumped high lol but he's decent

[@taemac10]

@@GrandinquisitorIK Players that just jump high would have long careers like he did if that is true. I would say that he was better than at least your average NBA player. He was in the league for more than 10 years and helped the Hawks reach the playoffs a few times. Plenty of people can jump out of the gym but that doesn't mean they can play in the NBA? But I respect your opinion 😉

[@GrandinquisitorIK]

@taemac10 I commented because you said he was a beast, which he wasn't. But he's a pretty good defensice player and decent scorer but def. Not a beast. But cool I understand your explanation 😉

[@CaliCool91]

He never met his full potential. Shot way too many 3’s for a non shooter.

[@djmadmike23]

I was in Atlanta all those years and I like his maturity and lessons learned. This is what success looks like.

[@DungarooTV]

A great dunker and offensive player - wish he had a stable jumper or post-up move.

2k legend

[@sirwalksoftly]

I used the Hawks from 2k6-2k10 due to Josh Smith. Was a beast in the game for sure. Would dunk on everything and defense was great.

Josh was a great player. Glad to see he is doing great things for the people after his nba career.

At first glance thought this was the dude from RCDC lmao

[@mcpheefee]

He shot himself out of the league. Jacked up to many 3s instead of sticking to his bread 🍞 & butter 🧈 which was slicing to the rack.

[@bbryant9455]

He had a lot of skill imo for a big man. He had a smooth game, nice turnaround, he was a beast on the boards. May have been a little ahead of his time. He'd shit on some people down low today imo. Beast he was 💯🥶 always liked his game

[@bbryant9455]

@@gwopes9979 that's fair that his Pistons tenure was a wash. I always felt the same about Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, and Brandon Jennings. Why was Detroit like a basketball wasteland for a while? 🤣🤣 Shiiit some people might still see it that way.

[@vandykeebbin4762]

I think he had a short career!!! He was good but he could have been way better

[@davidprice4777]

I agree as has defense was good,but Shooting and turnovers was has big weakness. He'll of a athlete. A taller Rondo,his Oak of Wilson teammate!

[@garyaugustus690]

Big Smoove....

This man put dudes on a poster damn near weekly

[@styleguy1295]

Wow. Bro is still only 38. He can probably still run up and down with his kids.

[@RC-bx6cn]

Probably ?? of course he can 38 isn’t too old to play basketball wtf

[@manyogurt4645]

You can run at 50, or 60+ if you take care of yourself.
