If Smitty's wheels hadn't gave out on him, he would have certainly went down as one of the All-time greats. He was a true triple threat: he could flat-out pass, shoot, and dribble the rock. 6-8 215 pg/sg.... All-time Michigan players: #1 Magic, #2 Derrick Coleman, #3 Steve Smith, #4 Chris Webber, #5 Jalen Rose.
Steve Smith was right up there with the best trash talkers. LoL. He was good at it. And mostly backed it up. He'll sure let u know! I like the time he dunked it caught the ball, went up and dunked it again and glared. He was that pissed off.LoL. He's a good analyst now.
I also am looking for a clip of the hesitation baseline freeze dribble that ONLY Steve could do, well I did steal it and shook someone so bad with it once that as I pulled up for a midrange jumper I was laughing at the guy guarding me...I want to find video of it to use to teach my son as he works the baseline very well
@StoneThrowingDevil Yea if you could find that , hahaha it was called "The Steve!" in the D....i did that shit all thru high school everyone in Detroit did it ....
Man, can somebody please post a vid of him in college and his early years in the league!! If yall young cats really wanna see a real "balla" check him out. Went to Michigan State University.
thank you for giving this man some youtube credit. I idolized him when he was with the Heat when he played with Glen Rice, Grant Long and Rony Seikaly.. dem was days. O i'll never ever forget that little hesitation move he used to do and fake the sh*t out of everyone. Please someone post some stuff of him when he was with the Heat
I grow up in Detroit too and playing street ball with Steven Smith, Carlos Rodgers, and Big Dough Smith I had the beast time of my life just playing ball and being a teen in the late 80s and 90s was so much fun in the D ! oh ! yes I was and very good PG !
Remember in the 1990 NCAA tournament, Steve's Michigan State team lost the Elite 8 game to Kenny Anderson and Lethal Weapon 3 of Georgia Tech! But man was he good!!!!!!!!
This is my dude man! growing up in the D steve is someone that u mos def have to look up to if u are a baller. but he is a good dude as well he serves the community well.
i remember when i first saw Steve Smith it was in 1990' when he was at michigan state i thought he was the kools player ever...i only wish he would have won a ring....
I love this cuz I love Steve Smith. I have ever since 1896 when he use to tell me it was okay for bumping into him in the gym at Pershing High. I am proud to be a Pershing Doughboy we have so much pride no one will ever understand the love and support we give eachother when we find out we are from the blue and gold on 7mile and Ryan in Detroit. Thanks for putting this video together it is on my favorites.
This is great. Steve Smith was my favorite player growing up. A really under rated player. Thanks for the old memories. The Steve Smith stutter step was classic.

Steve Smith was one of my favorite players. His size was a plus at the one position. Trey bomb in ya face. Big ups to Steve #8.

i agree, he started at the 1 than moved to the 2 later on his career, but man his height and size at the 1 definetly made him deadly
