Kenny Smith talks Chapel Hill, Dean Smith

Posted Apr 30, 2015
Kenny Smith is best known among basketball fans for his role as an analyst on Turner Sports’ Inside the NBA. Smith banters, bickers and talks basketball with host Ernie Johnson and fellow analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal. Before he became a familiar TV presence — adding a family reality series to his résumé this spring— Smith played basketball. When Smith reached the NBA in 1987, LeBron James was just a toddler in Akron, Ohio. (Charlotte Business Journal)
