Posted Aug 29, 2020
TNT basketball analyst Kenny Smith, 55, a former NBA player himself, explained on TODAY Friday why he walked off the set of "Inside the NBA" in the middle of the show on the same night that the NBA teams scheduled to participate in the playoffs decided not to take the court. "It wasn't anything preplanned," he told Craig Melvin. "I hadn't talked to talk to any players." (Today.com)
