Houston Rockets legend gives his take on MJ

Kenny Smith won multiple NBA Championship titles with the Houston Rockets in 1994 and 1995. Since hanging up his boots and bidding farewell to the game of basketball he has donned the hat of a basketball analyst. He authored a book about his rather legendary life called Talk of Champions: Stories of the People Who Made Me: A Memoir. He recently gave an intriguing take on his fierce rival Michael Jordan.?

In an excerpt from his book published on WBUR Kenny Smith said, “I watched Steve Kerr and B. J. Armstrong play alongside Michael and I thought, I don?t know if they understand what he?s bringing to them.” He added, “If you connect with what Michael is really about, you realize that he?s actually generous. He?s going to share what makes him great and allow that once-in-a-lifetime competitive spirit to rub off on you.”?He made it clear that Jordan’s arrogant persona is just him being arrogant. The people close to the five-time MVP know about his generous demeanor.

He also expressed his envy as he witnessed ‘ungrateful’ guys like Steve Kerr and BJ Armstrong gaining a significant amount of elite basketball experience and laurels playing alongside MJ as he never got the chance. The Rockets legends gave us a different insight to Michael Jordan’s personality. More recently, Smith’s daughter was in the news for making it to the uppermost echelon of the soccer world.
