Hometown Kid, Josh Smith, Does it All

[LiqCharles]

if this dude focused on getting better on every facet of the game,sky's the limit. all the natural talent is there

[XBladeWingX]

JAAAAAAAAAAYYYY SMOOOOOOOVE

[TYFrankWhite]

Reminds me of Darius Miles. If he could play with a little more poise sometimes and develop a solid jumper he'll be the next 'Nique

[187187p1]

yo the scary part is that he can be jus like a lebron james if he wanted to he jus need to work on that outside jumper more 6-9 and can jump out the gym and move fast work is still in progress thats the scary part i hope he can make a all star team one day cause he playng good this year j-smooth #5

[HeAiNtMaN]

JS is piece of shit

[ayersirusota]

@HeAiNtMaN ???

[RobinsonForMVP]

WTF? Wheres this Josh Smith? I didnt had a clue that he could hang in the air like D-Rose and take the outside shot. Whats going on with him? I only see him dunking in the highlights...

[TMacvsLeBron]

If he can hit that shot consistently he will be unstoppable

[ayersirusota]

@TMacvsLeBron He's startin to now, he's 6-14 from 3 now :)

[LorcaAdonai]

bostons gonna get you in the playoffs.

[MegaJoking]

J Smoove is playing like an allstar this year. Playing to his strengths and not shooting as many jumpers. Hawks to the east finlas this year.

[mirz5]

if j-smoove would get his shot together, he would be a mvp caliber player, up there with lebron and kobe

[BusBoyIsBack]

Well through 1/8 of the season, he's playing much smarter basketball. Playing in control which has helped him out on both ends of the floor.

I don't know about superstar but he's definitely looking like an all-star so far.

[commerceskate]

yeah, im surprised how disciplined hes been.

but if he keeps his shot blocking up, he could be one of the best shot blockers ever or even finish his career with the most blocks ever.

[Chevymalibu12]

Yep. But he shoots rainbows everyy shot. His jumper is like Shaq's freethrow lol.

[jofrancis324]

Damn. I just wish Josh could have that shooting caliber. He had some lucky pins on this vid, he would usually go through 12/33 shooting from the field and maybe 8 or 9 of those are all from dunking/layups. I really think he needs to work on his shot.

I'm a DIE HARD hawks fan! Hawks will reach the east finals next year! I hope :)

[kris2006creek]

ur a die hard..imma die hard...i live in peachtree city..wer u from...i go to every game

[kerpal3]

yo man im a die hard fan but im only 15 and my parents only allow me to go to some games.

[kris2006creek]

oh man im 19 i just started goin 2 every game..make sure u watch every single game on foxs sport south and fox sports net

[kerpal3]

actually i dont have that channel i always watch it online

[jofrancis324]

LOL 1:34 Childress and Josh missed a HI-5 hahahaha.

[jerjeremy]

he's big and skilled.

btw, he can shoot as well??

4 3's isn't it??

[lilaznskater09]

to much owning one video

[SunMan6A6]

he avgs 18 ppg on inside scoring alone,that why he play from time to time a pf,if he had a really good jump shot he could supress the original human highligh reel

[notaverygoodidea]

josh smith can be like lebron

[saesae134]

1:11 as much as i hate to say it, he made ray allen his bitch

[brisbaneballer]

for his size Josh Smith has a nice stroke from beyond the arc ..

[SSBEATZINC]

1:21 LOL!!!!

[LeBrOnaLLDay]

yo Josh Smith, LeBron James, and Andre Iguodala are the best Dunkers in the NBA!!!!!

[iPreshh]

screw j.smith

[dragonlancefire]

now if he would only learn how to shoot like this every night. He has the tools and the ability, he just doesn't put the work in. He has the handles, to go by every 4 in the league, if he could force them to respect his jumpshot.

[SalimFan]

Not true, he works at his shot all the time, he needs to change his mechanics though. The bigger and stronger he gets, the worse that set shot gets. He needs a shot overhaul...this is coming from a Hawks fan

[JerseyKidSam1]

to me j smoove is up there with lebron when it comes to dunking...

[Slamwoo93]

he's even a better dunker than him

[ant123487]

he killed the celtics

[davydmx]

Josh gets knocked for making questionable decisions at times but, if Mike Woodson and his coaches would properly develop their players then the Hawks probably would have beaten the Celtics two years ago. They have wasted the talents of many recent draft picks (Salim Stoudamire, Boris Diaw, Acie Law) and continually work an already weary starting five (Woodson only used mostly a three man rotation off the bench) into the ground which was a chief reason why we were swept by the Cavaliers.

[RoshanBhakta22]

Marvin Williams is a bust to. the only good recent pick they had is Al Horford. rest have been garbage.

[tegrepp]

im probably the biggest hawks fan, but i gotta agree with u on that

[davydmx]

Josh just needs a mentor to discipline him on the court and also needs to figure out what type of player he wants to be as well.

[yessuhon8]

jjjjjjayyyyysmoooovvvvee Hawks trade him and you will return to the bottom of the league

[DGMikeBarker]

he has to be a more constant shooter from outside

[TimTyree]

I agree! Hopefully he is working on that shot RIGHT NOW! If he finds his shot, WATCH OUT NBA.

[BusBoyIsBack]

How can a guy with that type of talent underachieve so much?

Is it coaching or poor work ethic?

He's got top 5 talent but bottom 5 skill and decision making when it comes to shot selection.

[nomerybuddy]

I agree with you, I've been with the Hawks since they took the Celtics to game 7 so i guess im part of the bandwagon, but in my eyes Josh Smith has the talent to be near Lebron. I simply think, like others have said he isnt mature enough and he needs someone to push him to his limits.

[LUFUJ]

Lol to be near lebron thats funny and Im a hawks fan. That will never ever happen. How long has Josh been in the league 5 years. He'll probably up his game a few more levels and that will be it. He's not consistent enough. Until he decides to put it all together and really work on all aspects of his game he will be erratic. Hope he proves me wrong though. Glad they got Jammal Crawford,but hope they don't get rid of Bibby or Flip.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@LUFU

Hawks got Jamal Crawford? He's great, but do they really need another guard or small forward?

[nomerybuddy]

Haha, maybe i got a little carried away with that statement, but the guy has major talent that i want to see him achieve within the next few years. I was also very excited when i heard they got Jamal for bench players, and if we manage to keep both Bibby and Murray, then i think we'll have a very good year.

[ephesus]

What exactly do you consider talent then? I'd say he's doing pretty well. He doesn't have very quick feet, but he still gets around.

[eetfree23]

if he improves his 3 pts and gets alil more mature

he is unstopable

[BusBoyIsBack]

NO he needs to STOP taking 3s and take it to the rim. That's where he's at his best.

He should take 90% of his shots in the paint

[pessishit]

0:53 traveling

[BucketHeadss]

Josh Smith is the man...

[mexikent23]

Plz read this cuz it acually works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1.Put both of ur hands on ur chest

2.Think of someone that u like......

3.Tommorow that person will ask you out or say i love you.

4.Heres the catch just send to 5 more vidoes

[KaRlItIs25]

4.Heres the catch just send to 5 more vidoes

[FallinInfamous]

lol man this guy really has some authority behind those dunks.

he really pissed the heat fans off because of his dunking ability.

but who cares eey?

J-smooth and the hawks are gonna fly high!!

[DunstanAtega]

J-Smoove*

[satibablaze]

i like the hawks but can they win against the cavs?

[BigSammy31]

HAHAH paul peirces face LOL ... Josh smith killed it

[mikespurz]

Lefties look so much better when they play sports. i love watching this guy

[ejnoble]

what do you call that move at 0:48

[limes93]

it's an up and under

[ejnoble]

not that... the move he did before the up and under!

[ejnoble]

i know what it is... it's like an in and out crossover

[RBGdUP]

yeah thats an in-and-out dribble. Chris Paul is the master of that, so is Steve Nash

[vinniebello]

a pullup i guess

[StormyWeather21]

don't you just love the look on pierce's face LMFAO!!!!!

[cheesed4]

probably the best athlete in the NBA

[hockeyry]

no way man lebron james is the rawest athlete for sure

[ejnoble]

not yet.. but once he improves his shooting... he will be

[kerpal16]

LMAO at that bitch at 1:20

[derekboechler]

j smoove is an all star in three years, he's ridiculously raw right now, top notch defense which is rare in young players and his shot is coming around nicely. His handles are weak but you don't need handles at the 4.

[jimbobillybob1202]

all he can do is mostly dunk, his shot is horrible, his range sucks, and his court vision is no existent.

[KingPierce89]

just dunk, no hes actually one of the most feared shot blockers today and is extremely athletic. His jumper is a work in progress.

[sickatlien]

J Smoove!!!!

[goosie88]

6th best dunker in nba history

[LOYDLONG]

aint nobody fucking wit dat nigga

[bobbyyyd]

dudes nasty

[ayersirusota]

i didint know he could shoot the 3-ball.

[Xtaurenx]

that's because he cannot.

[ayersirusota]

he can, at a low percentage

[Jelon1]

Lebron is hella weak people are just scared to guard him cause they'll call a foul

[Xtaurenx]

that and Lebron is 275lbs and that momentum hitting you can kill you.

[thekinglebronjames23]

these crowds are fuckin wild

[Moorelover22]

they still couldnt finish

[friendlyniga]

J SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

[BeastyMotionPictures]

the lefty!

[cloudydog12594]

my team.. GO HAWKS!!

the underdogs of the next playoff season.!

[reggiewade]

dudes got ups

if he just worked on his game and used it wit his athleticism, could be close to as unstoppable as the king

[benvindo05]

Smith is an underrated player, while ur king is the king of hype.

[slayerviper95]

He would need to seriously tone his jump shot.

[johnthecoolguy]

man he is a beast when he get it going

[pepegrecc]

how many points did he scored??

[pcan8393]

i think 27. i was at that game. it was so sick

[teddyabcdaa]

he get up like Lebron but lebrons faster

[1stboman]

He looks like the male version of katie holmes!!!

[andrewdanielsampson]

dang he had so many dunks

[xx1hit1derxx]

hahahaha 1:20 stupid pierce bitch

[dimedropper1992]

wow i've never seen so many dunks in one game. he was lighting the celtics up!

[clementhel]

whoawhoawhoa what is this?? kids that watch basketball??

what are u all talking about???

Josh Smith?? better than Lebron??wow just look at the numbers.

yeah Smith's a good defender but DO NOT say he's better than Lebron..

[Nolez93]

JOSH SMITH IS WAY BETTER THAN LeBRON...THE NLY REASON LeBRON SEEMS SO GOOD IS BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM AND GETS THE BALL THE MOST...THE CAVS HAVE NO SHOOTERS UNLIKE THE HAWKS...WE HAV JOE JOHNSON AND BIBBY SO PRESSURE COMES OFF OF J-SMOOVE

[vladimir4200]

wat wat wat

[andrewdanielsampson]

trippin

[dawnoflife3]

ahahahahahahhahaahhahahaahahah­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahhahahahahaahaha­hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahha­ahahhahaah~

josh smith better than lebron!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­hahaahahahahahahahahhahqa

and im a kobe fan but thats bullshit!

[xx1hit1derxx]

What year was this? 07-08? or this season

[nichuss]

last season. First round playoffs

[nza07]

1:20 hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

[benmercuri8]

i think josh smith is better then lebron also

[doctender77]

You're crazy if you think Smith is even on the same level as Lebron. He's good and can be a star in the league but better than Lebron, that's just silly

[jlee222]

I agree. Josh Smith has a lot of potential to be a star in the nba hes got all the qualities: size, athleticism, decent shot. He could be the only one that could stop lebron james in the future based on his attributes.

[tigardst2]

why people are talking about Lebron, Lebron, Lebron, and never metion other young talented player out there who play as well as lebron James. I think Lebron is good, i mean he is but, at the same time smith is as much better as Lebron James is. So don't just seat them, and talking about Lebro because he got his own sneakers. Start talking about this young talented players too.

[kzflags1]

what are you smoking.

honestly

[basketball7753]

hahahaha no shit!!!! if you think smith is better than lebron you need to open your eyes and watch a basketball game! Or better yet, just turn on sports center at night and watch lebron dunking over some b**ch in the top 10 LOL

[TitanVolBraveHawkMan]

haha thats funny i think there bout the same thou accept lebron shoots better smith dunks better

[slayerviper95]

Wtf? Smith's dunks better? Hell no man

[RandomTimes08]

i like the hawks there pretty sav. and people are gonna shit on me for this but..josh smith is a better player then lebron in my mind hahaaaah cause he has a better shooting percent and flys as high as lebron

[throwbakmoney]

the hawks and celtics bring the best out of each other every time they play a regular game it usually goes back and forth and in u already saw what happened in the play offs they went 2 7 games and josh smith is a monster and with bibby on his side make the hawks a dangerous team im still goin 4 the lakers tho~1~(^_^)

[Da3Answer3]

Hawks can win eastern conference championship. im a beleiver

[yomoma699669]

rajon rondo point guard of the celtics went to his high school

[FRESH2SK]

i was at that game, it was awesome for me because im a hawks fan

[oliverdavis23]

Knicks all day!

[AfroAmerican957]

5-0

[SELACARTEL]

i'm the biggest LAKERS fan homie but i hope the Hawks do well this year,i think they will give the smelltics a good battle,always liked bibby since he was out here in sac,,,good luck

[JavyGarcia85]

Thanks man, Love the Support. Hawks are gonna open some eyes this year.

[Curtis9992n]

can do it all except win an nba championship

[LTlover4life]

can do it all except be the youngest player ever to win the finals.

Seriously, cut his some slack he's still young

[AfroAmerican957]

Alright everybody you are looking at a allstar no scratch that you are looking at a superstar his abilties are great Him and his team right this very second are number one in the eastern confence if they keep that up they dont have to worry about the 8th seat but they could get the 3rd or 4th seat possibly the second what im trying to say is that this Young Hawks are true threat this year I belive they could become the Eastern Confrence Champs and even the NBA Finals Champs they can do it

[TheRealLilPimp]

LMAO.. NBA champs? Wow. Get the fuck outta here. They will barely make the play offs.. probably an 8th seed. Josh Smith is not a superstar. They've played 2 fucking games dude, chill out there not that good.

[AfroAmerican957]

nah fuck you u really dont know what u talkin bout

[SELACARTEL]

well how stupid do u look now ,i beleive they are 1 of 3 teams that are undefeated and have faced playoff teams so think about shit before u put ur foot in your mouth again,,i agree they won't be nba champs,but will contend in the east..

[rayluc24]

Detroit sends Tayshaun Prince and Amir Johnson to the Atlanta Hawks for Josh Smith

[SELACARTEL]

smith is a beast i propose a trade lamar odom,luke walton,sun yue, mbenga, fake Lakers fans like andy garcia, denzel washington,all the east coast born actors that suddenly became Lakers fans cause the knicks are garbage and it was the thing to do, and a few million in cash for josh smith.. done deal

[Mast3rShak3zilla]

hahaah for reals .. thatll be the shit

[Necroking24]

beast

[MrFerBrEeZe]

i hope the hawks make it to the playoffs again, hopefully then to past the 1st round not as a 8th seed but maybe 7th. then play in a second round series and show that they can be great playoff contenders! or fuck it! make it to the finals..!!! like KG says "anythings posibleeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!"

[johnwahab]

Hawk fans waited a long, long time for something like this...

[michjackson1]

fuckin savage

[AJVersatility19]

im mad i didnt watch this game, i really thought boston was gonna sweep the first round, when i seen that hawks won, i had the watch the 4th game. i bet the announcer fucked up his voice sayin "J-Smoove" over and over again

[Kobeownzu81]

lmao. i actually thought he might have been right for a sec then i remembered they would have said something about it when they were in the dunk contest together. i also forgot THAT ITS RIDCULOUS. ahahhaha

[davydmx]

Josh Smith is a nightmare to opposing players on defense. When he learns to play with that type of desire on offense he will be unstoppable.

[Viet3031]

josh smith and joe johnson are both mosters joe johnson hittin 3's and josh smith hittin unbelievable dunks both of them always make's an impact.

[SmoothMM]

Al Horford and Mike Bibby are a good addition to the squad as well; Al supplies the blocks and boards, and Bibby contributes with scoring and assists.

[jeezy3]

if he gets better on his midrange game and can hit 3s like his brother JR then hell be so fuckin raw

[atlanta5hawks]

Hahahahahaha, what? They're not brothers. Dumbass, just because they have the same last name doesn't mean they're brothers. That's like saying all Smiths are related. What retard told you they're brothers?

[yoe91]

loooool that dude is soooooo fkn stupid LOLOLOL Im laughin my ass off !!! Smith is the most common american last name ever LOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!!!!! Hey, jeezy, Stan Smith from American dad is Josh's cousin hehehe what a fkr...assuming facts like that posting em on the net....pffffff

[jeezy3]

iono..just nvm lol

[AGCALI]

ahahah

[XBOXLIVEGEEK]

he could be dominent if he workd on his mid range game

[heymomma888]

his signature dunk is the same as lebron's. just with different hands

[crp727]

j-smooth so good, i was there that night it was amazing

[thirdshift47]

Speaking as an ATLien,that was definitely a fun series to watch.'Nuff respect to the 07/08 Hawks.

[djmaxx5050]

yeah i think that was the best series of the playoffs...with the exception of the hornets-spus series...

[TXkingMN]

he will have the all time blocking record he is so great on D n aint bad on offense if he gets the mid range going

[colonquesidilla]

If Josh ever gets a consistent jumpshot he can be one of the top players in the NBA.

[BusBoyIsBack]

This kid has so much freaking potential.

The sky is the limit. It's all about the development of his midrange game and BBIQ

He could be a top 5-10 player in this league if he had the right work ethic

[nathanielcuachon]

he is the man no question about it

[Cavs4Life23]

a smaller, faster dwight howard!

not as good but getting there!!!

[HES10289]

its hard to believe these young guns nearly ended the celtics playoff run.good luck next year hawks

[reak7835]

they gon' come back stronger than ever... i know it...

[furyhill]

J-smoove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[wyanep]

J-Smoove is the truth

[josette5]

at 1:10 who was that he dunked on was that cassel or allen?

[COEDBLOODED]

allen

[oldboy1981]

I really hope that the Hawks can resign him. He is a really phenomenal player who will only continue to improve.

[zcs96]

josh smith is awsome.

[HBK2591]

Josh Smith is my hero.

[npj1993]

this guy is gonna b 1 of da best ever

[nzballer]

nobody would of thought that this would happen.

Boston Atlanta 3 a peice!?!?!?

[DuperJsp]

[LTlover4life]

Josh Smith isn't underrated anymore

[FilmTheNoob]

Omg wtf? how did GTA beat Orlando in a race car halo and NBa 2k8 is soo amazing that she is smarting over teh brige of Iraq, why is green soo page up? can you small 9? i bet is just hax bcz i just got a negative rate here.

[DarthGRE]

Are you on drugs man?...

[luishobbit7]

smith, da monster

[jester0773]

lol i wouldn't say he does it all... he can block shots thats about it and he thinks he can shoot 3's but everytime he does its like AIRBALL

[abcdef039]

I hope the hawks win. Josh Smith can do it all. Blocks, score, 3pt

[24Superstarr24]

If he gets buff and ups his game a little he will be one of the best in the league and i'm not a hawks fan if you think im just a fanboy.
