he was compared to magic earlier in young age, never won championship with miami, atlanta, portland, finally with spurs (minor role),now in hornets. his prime time has ended, bring bad luck to a team

he could shoot but you don't hear much about him anymore

Who?

Great touch from outside.

Class act, both on and off the court. Although I am an avid Lakers fan, I was secretly rooting for the Blazers in the western conference series and Steve Smith had a lot to do with that. His solid presence on the court and ability to convert easy looks into baskets makes for great basketball. I hope to see Smith playing a larger role in the Blazers offense next year.

I remember going to watch a Michigan State / Villanova NIT game a bunch of years ago, and this guy named Steve Smith, with very little fanfare, came out and scored 40 against the 'cats, and won the game almost singlehandedly. Ever since that day I have appreciated this guy's skills. It's also somthing that he donated $1M to his college - how many athletes do that?
