all the time I watched him play for the Rockets, I’ve never seen his college play. He was pretty good, I’m surprised I didn’t see him dunk more in the pro’s.

The other day on TNT somebody was calling Jason Terry from the Mavs “The Jet” and said he snatched Kenny’s nickname. Kenny said, “The streets of Noo Yawk gave me that name!” Word!!

man Kenny smith was nasty back then i knew about kenny smith when i started watching alot of NBA TV and TNT and all those vintage shows about the Rockets Back to back Championships he also calls games for the knicks. My opinion is somebody give him a job with the organiztion as or coach or something other than calling games don’t get me wrong he’s a great commentator and analyst but i believe he will make a good coach…somewhat better than isiah thomas

I didn’t know Kenny was this good. The only clip i’ve seen of him is the behind the legs dunk and I only really knew him as a 3 point shooter for the rockets. He’s got pretty quick ups and real athletic too.

i was waiting for a windmill dunk on the fast break, but i guess I’ve seen too many josh smith / iggy highlights.

Kenny is slept on. He was one of the fastest players with the ball in the history of the college game. Also in Bounce
edition #11 when I demonstrated the 2-ball catch and shoot, i mentioned one of the inspirations of the drill was Ken Smith. Ken is a true playground promoter. He loves the asphalt game.

what happened to Kenny in the NBA? Damn i remember when Bill Russell was his coach with the Kings and he wasnt playing like that. He looks like KJ in those clips. I forgot how sick he was in college. Derrick Rose or no one in college has it like that.

has anyone ever seen kenny demonstrate his two-ball drills? if you think that mike conley clip was crazy, you had to see ‘the jet’ in his prime? we did some nike event out in lefrac once, like ‘95, and he was showing all these kids crazy ballhandling conditioning. even speedy williams in his recent bounce interview gave props for kenny as having an ill handle when it came to the playground. don’t forget he’s an nba champion, too. not many can say they rocked both.
