I was walking around Willowbrook Mall back in the day and I turned and randomly saw Kenny Smith. I said what's up but have no idea how the conversation went. That was 30+ years ago. I was pretty excited at the time.
Of all the characters on the 90s Rockets, I never would have guessed Kenny Smith would be the most enduring public figure, lol. Dude was such a mediocre player. Kenny always had a silver tongue though, that’s why he became de facto spokesman for the team. Vernon cussed too much. Dream was very hard to understand. Clyde was too boring. Robert and Otis were too shy. Sam was too goofy.
