Kenny Smith, I'm from VA and a year older than you, and played highschool and college ball. I wasn't that good, good enough to make the teams and be the backup point guard. But you were my idol at the point, and still my favorite point guard of all time. Your game had no flaws!! Quickness, Shot, Handles, Swag, and Crazy moves. You had to share and play down your game in the NBA, but had you gone to a different team, your career could have been in the same breath of all the great legend point guards! Loved watching your whole career even into your TNT Analysis job. You're great for our race brother🙏🏽
