    Thanks. I know people love to hate on this board and forget what people did in the past. Kenny, Vernon, etc.. they were great when it was time to be great.

    This is about Las Vegas and the NBA all star game. chances are.. NONE OF YOU will get into any party. At least, Kenny is letting people buy their way in.

    Have you guys been to Vegas? you know how hard it is to get in a club on a regular night? can you imagine on NBA AllStar weekend? Unless any of you suckers are highrollers or happen to be dating Jessica Alba, you ARENT Getting in.

    Thank Kenny for allowing us, NBA FANS, to hang with him and LeBron and maybe more.

    Stop hating Kenny, and stop hating Vince Young and stop hating JVG.

    I'll be there too (just booked my flight tonight). I don't know what I will get tickets to though. Last year kinda spoiled me as the seat-filler gig got me into all of the events (except for the actual All-Star game) for free.

    How much were the Jam Session tickets?

    I agree. That's why I think Vegas is the perfect place. You should be able to still have fun by just "being around".

    Fact: Kenny doesn't support the Rockets, like Magic supports the Lakers at all cost no matter what.

    You just lost all credibility there.

    Elie, Horry, Cassell, Maxwell...those are Rockets legends.

    Kenny keeps forgetting where he came from and who made him...he's a traitor.

    OJ Simpson was the best running back at USC. OJ killing a bunch of people will never change that.

    Kenny Smith was a great Rocket. Since you don't remember, Kenny and Otis Thorpe were second only to Malone and Stockton for Pick and Roll one year. It was unstoppable. Kenny was a good 3point shooter (see Rafer Alston), good PG who had minimal turnovers (see Steve Francis )and did help the Rockets win 2 championships.

    I dont care if Kenny and Charles make fun of JVG's hair or Tmac's eye 100 times a week. Does not change what they did in the past.

    Plus this is about Kenny throwing parties. If you hate that he's a celebrity then say so and if you are mad you cant make it to Vegas for all star weekend.

    Plus YOU LOST CREDIBILITY CAUSE YOU NEVER SAW KENNY PLAY
    1991: 17.7 Points Per Game 7.1 Assists 3 turnovers
    1992: 14 Points Per Game 6.9 Assists 2.8 turnovers
    1993: 13 Points Per Game 5.4 Assists 2 turnovers (splitting time with Sam)

    YOU NEWBIES can have your VSPANs and SMUSH PARKERS..
    I'll TAKE Kenny 1000 out of 1000 times

    I disagree with you! K. Smith wasa n important6 contributor of the double Champions Houston Rockets.
    When you use the word scrub you are talking about players like Padgett. Kenny Smith was a decent player in his time.:p

    Some people obviously didn't watch Kenny play. they are exploiting themselves like American Idol.

    What is hilarious is that its ok for some internet fools to criticize the Rockets. But a FORMER ROCKET WHO WON CHAMPIONSHIPS can't criticize the Rockets!

    No matter what you say or how many Rocket games you went to, you guys WOULD NEVER CONTRIBUTE to the Rockets as much as KENNY SMITH did.

    And for the perception that Kenny was bad player cause he got schooled by Derick Harper:

    here's Kenny's Bio:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Smith

    Kenny "The Jet" Smith (born March 8, 1965, in Queens, New York) is an American former pro basketball player and current TV announcer. When Smith graduated from North Carolina in 1987, he held the school record for most assists with 768.

    Kenny Smith is a NBA studio analyst for the TNT show, Inside the NBA, where he provides analysis and acts as a straight man for studio partner Charles Barkley. Kenny is also a color analyst for New York Knicks broadcasts on MSG, and hosts Full Court Press on Sirius Satellite Radio. Before he got his job as a sports announcer in 1998, Smith played ten seasons in the NBA.

    During his career, Smith played for the Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and the Denver Nuggets. In his rookie year, he was named to the "rookie team" with 13.8 points and 7.1 assists per game while playing with the Sacramento Kings. Smith won the 1994 and 1995 NBA championships with the Houston Rockets. He is also Rockets' all-time leader in three-point field goal percentage with .407.

    Smith also created the Kenny Smith North Carolina Boy and Girls Basketball Camp. The camp teaches young boys and girls about the rules and the game of basketball.

    Smith attended Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens.

    On September 2, 2006 Smith tied the knot marrying British model and actress Gwendolyn Osborne at their mountain-top estate in Stevenson Ranch, California. Kenny is currently a talk show host with Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, and many people on TNT talking about basketball.

    Smith appears in NBA Live 2005 and 2006 as an NBA All-Star Weekend announcer at the NBA Slam-Dunk Contest and NBA 3-Point Shootout.

    Kenny's rants about the Rockets are legit. Its not blind hate like Meril Hodge against VY.

    Kenny's rant on Tmac:
    1. didn't like how Tmac keeps talking about retiring (legit complaint)
    2. thinks Tmac doesn't love the game (legit complaint)
    3. says theres a difference between Tmac and Kobe (legit argument), Kobe being better (legit)
    all of these are legit based on history and facts and stats.

    do I like that kenny is dissing on Tmac? no. but his arguments are legit.

    Until Tmac wins a championship, then Kenny will be proven wrong.
