honestly josh smith had the potential to be an incredible player because he could pass really good for a 4, rebounded really good and scored so well. he was great at blocking and stealing the ball and was so athletic. he literally did it all
I still feel like jsmoove is underrated. He is phenomenal on both ends of the floor,has a shot, and post moves.he's really a dream for any team to have.
Reason why Jsmoove was terrible in Detroit was because Gundy placed him at the 3? He's way more comfortable at the 4 where he blocks and rebounds but they had Monroe so that explains it
nah, once he left Detroit. He was heavily disappointing there, but he was still putting up better numbers then most forwards. houston's shoot at will mentality killed Josh.
Detroit and the max contract killed his career. max contract means you have to act like a SUPERSTAR which he clearly NEVER was. that meant he had to take more shots , more 3pts and shit... which killed his career with the analytics etc.
Detroit didn't kill him, positioning him at the 3 was a terrible choice since he played the 4 his whole career. Starting him at small forward gave him the excuse to chuck random 3's, i would say this was one of SVG"s baddest coaching blunder. And i big to differ about him not being a superstar, he had all the potential to be one but he didn't have the attitude of one, he was lazy and cocky a bit like Dwight Howard. I do believe when Detroit cut him affected him mentally and affected his confidence.
J snooze is so athletic in the open court I have never seen anyone with his athleticism, size to be so dangerous off the dribble him and LeBron are two of the best athletic forwards in the game today
Josh Smith was sick back in Atlanta... I'm not gonna talk about Detroit or Houston tho 😂 ... I hope we'll see some more of the young Josh Smith now that he's reunited with Jamal Crawford!!!
He kept on shooting threes when he joined the pistons, if he came back to that inside scoring PF that he used to be instead of shooting long range jumpers, then he can be a big impact player like he used to be.
DBZfreakmotorbikebud They had Monroe and Drummond and for some reason they taught is a good idea to put Josh Smith in a SF position and expect him not to shoot. He couldn't even go inside. There was Monroe standing around mid range and Drummond inside and their defenders. I blame Smith a little bit but most of the blame goes on Pistons and theri coaching and menagment.
He got cut instead of traded which is the most surprising thing. You at least want to get something out of him if you don't want him. They fact that he got cut says a lot. I can definitely see him go to a place like Dallas, New York, or Sacramento coming off the bench. I'd say Dallas is the most likely place he'll wind up because Mark Cuban likes bringing in guys no one else wanted like Monta Ellis, Raymond Felton, Rashard Lewis etc.
Josh Smith said he didnt want to go anywhere else but Detroit. Said he had offers and could have gone to houston but respected the Pistons history and saw a bright future there.
lol I live in Detroit and I know how he is, if your home team Is the kings rockets or clippers you should definitely be scared if theirs a chance hes coming to your team one of the worst players I've ever seen I've been to so many pistons games and this guy is not a consistent shooter, terrible teamate, misses free throws constantly and a ball hog he thinks he's something hes not hes shooting 20% from 3 point land and takes over 5+ 3s a game this man is a cancer to any NBA team YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
DO A PAUL PIERCE TOP 10. He has made so many clutch plays in his career, and now he will just retire with the Nets. Give one of the most underrated players in the NBA some recognition!
For sure, also I think we are going to the finals, also we need to beat clipppers which I believe we can and man this roster is by the far best in Rockets or at least these 2 years Bev/Harde/Ariza, Brewer/Smith/D12. and bench as well have nothing but scoring, defense, Dorsey, D-Mo, Cannan, etc. I'm loving it and I've always love my Rockets! Morey is pretty damn good and I think Dwight, Smith will stay for a long time and of course Harden cause we brought him here and let him take over and be the one player that don't bounce around to another team cause he want to be like Kobe, MJ and is loyal so yeah
Ke DE They are a great team, Houston is solely focusing on the Playoffs this time around. Rockets have A Defense and guys surrounding James Harden who need to score. #Pursuit
He was a descent player for a while but I've been kind of disappointed on how he turned out. Imagine if he had a consistent jumper or a great handle, with that athleticism, he'd be amazing.
I don't expect them to land Lebron, Melo, or anything. But getting Smith this year is step one, it shows they can get big names to come. Who knows, maybe other big names might want to join Smith. Especially if they see Detroit as a rising team and making the playoffs. Plus they have cap room next summer, and have good trade pieces. Point is, Detroit is in a good situation now. Not a crappy team that sees tanking as an option. I don't agree with that method, it doesn't always improve the team.
I miss the Joe Johnson-Jamal Crawford-Josh Smith-Al Horford lineup in Atlanta.
Don't forget Mike Bibby. I miss that team so much now that I think about it.
Me to
How do you like this lineup we got now?
And Bibby
just by hearing all those names now...thats a championship caliber lineup
honestly josh smith had the potential to be an incredible player because he could pass really good for a 4, rebounded really good and scored so well. he was great at blocking and stealing the ball and was so athletic. he literally did it all
Dude just refused to stop shooting
He was lite lebron
Poor man's Ben Simmons
@@BennBeckman0518 other way around
Imagine prime josh smith in today's game he would be a perfect center for small ball damn it's so scary when you think about it
Then don't think about it
And He's in Ben Simmons Body
I still feel like jsmoove is underrated. He is phenomenal on both ends of the floor,has a shot, and post moves.he's really a dream for any team to have.

Carlos Martinez. He was better at the 3 when he was younger he needed to loose weight
No true point guard either. But imagine trying to get to the basket with the floor spacing from, um, Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond.
Young at SF
Old at PF
@@raizen4271 dam cuh commenting on a 9yr comment lol shout out to you I'm still around God bless
Josh Smith's career died once he left Atlanta.
yep
nah, once he left Detroit. He was heavily disappointing there, but he was still putting up better numbers then most forwards.
houston's shoot at will mentality killed Josh.
SportsCardMan true

He was one of the reasons why I loved Hawks. Thanks for all these great memories J Smoove!
J snooze is so athletic in the open court I have never seen anyone with his athleticism, size to be so dangerous off the dribble him and LeBron are two of the best athletic forwards in the game today
Was so 😂😂
Josh Smith was sick back in Atlanta... I'm not gonna talk about Detroit or Houston tho 😂 ... I hope we'll see some more of the young Josh Smith now that he's reunited with Jamal Crawford!!!
Bruh he's a good fit in Houston
+Palmer Fricks I'm not even a Houston fan but he gels so well with dwight it's scary when those two get going and throw alley oops to each other bruh
Mommi
Hes a good fit at houston what you sayin
smith used to be one of my fav players, he stuffed the stat sheets and could do a little of everything on the hawks, i hope he gets back to that
From this...to being waived. I still belive he's a good player just needs the right situation.
Yeah, coming off the bench for a contender. He'll flourish, oh and a coach who's not afraid to tell him to fucking stop shooting threes.
1985 Charles Barkley He just needs to snap out of it and do what coaches are telling him to do. He has to much talent to be remembered like this.
armin38822 I concur

#4 is just nasty. Definetly one of the more underrated dunkers of all time
Incredible athlete, just a very suspect shooter. He would be a star player in today’s NBA . I wish he never left ATL
Whose watching this in 2018? He will forever be my favorite player. He was literally Draymond Green before Draymond Green was Draymond Green.
*who is
Hell no he’s way better than Draymond Green, he on a whole different level
Draymond but twice as athletic
Josh Smith's dunks are some of the best looking and fiercest dunks I've ever seen.
So proud Dirk finally made second on a top ten list !
Welcome the new member of the Houston Rockets..Joshhhhhhh Smithhhhh!
Maybe most underrated player of all time. That guy did it all on the court.
he just shoots to damn much.
This guy, man, he's all about highlights! What a top 10!
Please come back to Atlanta
he in my city now
Trevor Sawyers You can keep him, he's terrible now.
They don't need him 😁
What a great player, I admire him alot
He made huge mistake by not joining The Rockets
well he's here now
Luke Molloy Yesir
I can watch #4 over and over and over again... damn
im getting the same PS4 add for every video i watch
i' getting no add, you know what an addblocker is?
Wow PS4 has been out 4 year's already? Damn time flies by so quick.
@@imnosheepmostpeopleare7271 7 years now... 😶

what about him going to houston
***** Houston is loaded with young talent at forward. No need to bring him in and mess with the chemistry of the team.
houston has d-mo and terrence jones at pf but jones plays poor defense so he may be able to help there but yea it would kind of mess things up there
lilmoe102 You know who's not young? Dwight. If they want to compete for a title with Dwight in his prime they can't wait for young guys to develop.
Evan Davis That's a good point
Josh Smith is one of the last 'true' power forwards.
He is playing small forward now for the Pistons? Quite ironic isn t it? ;)
He's playing small forward, idiot
no he's not cuz he thinks hes a stretch 4, keeps on taking long 2s and 3s even when he absolutely stinks at it
lamarcus aldridge is a true power forward for instance, has a post up game, a face up game. and can shoot midrange js
@Nick Jim so Charles Barkley isn't a "true" power forward?
Welcome to Detroit! We're happy to have you
Come to Houston!!!!! For 2/3M a year (after waivers) you're a steal!!! Come play with your buddy Dwight!
The Atlanta connection.
holy shit. I knew he was athletic, but some of his plays from his younger years with the retro style Hawk jerseys were insane!
another nba player who cant handle his talent
Josh Smith said he didnt want to go anywhere else but Detroit. Said he had offers and could have gone to houston but respected the Pistons history and saw a bright future there.
DEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to always try and get josh smith on my fantasy squads. He’s dope
Why did they trade him..
they didnt trade him -.-
He became a Free agent after his 4 year contract.
Oh ok i didnt know that.
He is under rated !!!! Give that guy some fame !!!!
lol I live in Detroit and I know how he is, if your home team Is the kings rockets or clippers you should definitely be scared if theirs a chance hes coming to your team one of the worst players I've ever seen I've been to so many pistons games and this guy is not a consistent shooter, terrible teamate, misses free throws constantly and a ball hog he thinks he's something hes not hes shooting 20% from 3 point land and takes over 5+ 3s a game this man is a cancer to any NBA team
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
and don't let this video fool you
He averages 5 assists per game this year
minialwow thank you, someone agrees that josh smith is a joke
Carmelo Anthony Anytime brother
minialwow I see you watch cashnasty I love that guy
Was a beast in NBA 2K.
I don't have time to keep up with every sport I want mate, but thanks for helping me out and sharing the info ;)
Never seen anyone block shots like Josh!
Josh Smith AMAZING he is so underrated
Damn he is a left hander and dunks and finishes with his left making it hard for defenders to guard
I'm in Michigan. We are gonna be glad to have him.
best basketball player that ever lived
josh smith
Love you Josh 🙌🏽
He deserves to be an all star next season!
these highlight are really good... wish he went to my team
That windmill at #6 was so clean damn
That driving dunk on Lopez was nasty!
Explain to me why 2k disrespecting this man so hard with an 86 rating and NO finishing badges , I'll wait 2k....
He should be superstar...
In todays NBA he would be the perfect small ball center. He just fell in love with shooting 3s too much
Most... Underrated... Player... in the NBA.
Dont worry Josh all star will be your next year!
Can't wait to what he does in Detroit!
A great player, underrated
So Underrated...
Welcome to Detroit! He will make the Pitons a much better team and a playoff contender along with the others they picked up this offseason.
Him and Drummond on the same team are gunna be a sick dunk combo
this guy is a beast
monstrous plays
Finally jsmoove gets a top 10 boy letttsgoooooo
DO A PAUL PIERCE TOP 10.
He has made so many clutch plays in his career, and now he will just retire with the Nets. Give one of the most underrated players in the NBA some recognition!
Josh deserve an All Star
He has a pretty good mid range and can stretch to the three sometimes
I remember I was at the highlight factory & jsmoove gave me his headband couldnt believe it. go hawks
Smh doc River mid game adjustments got me reminiscing
Facts
the 6th play was sick!
deserve to be an all star!
josh smith is a underatted ba ba beast
Seems like he will be such a key player in the Lakers.
One of the underrated player in the NBA
those hawks teams from 2007-2011 were underated
that's an understatement
cant wait to see paul milsap bring THIS much energy next year.
did ya see his houston game!He was a beast!!
Come to Houston J Smoove!!!! He would fit in pretty well IMO alongside D12 in the FrontCourt. WOW
For sure, also I think we are going to the finals, also we need to beat clipppers which I believe we can and man this roster is by the far best in Rockets or at least these 2 years Bev/Harde/Ariza, Brewer/Smith/D12. and bench as well have nothing but scoring, defense, Dorsey, D-Mo, Cannan, etc. I'm loving it and I've always love my Rockets! Morey is pretty damn good and I think Dwight, Smith will stay for a long time and of course Harden cause we brought him here and let him take over and be the one player that don't bounce around to another team cause he want to be like Kobe, MJ and is loyal so yeah
Fresh2DEEath Deestar I know im this is awesome, but im scared about mavs and those warriors
Ke DE They are a great team, Houston is solely focusing on the Playoffs this time around. Rockets have A Defense and guys surrounding James Harden who need to score. #Pursuit
I totally agree!!!!!! He'll fit perfectly. Lowry, DeRozan, Gay, J Smoove and Valenciuns!!!!!!!! that would be sick!!!
This Guy was a Quad Double waiting to happen
The dunk on number 6 sounded vicious!!
josh smith is a lowkey beast in 2k13 tbh.
as a hawks fan i hated josh smith basketball IQ, but he was definitely exciting to watch.
these are some smoove moves
Great top 10
What a great dunker
The number 6 sounded like a gun shot
Josh Smith deserves at least one All-Star Game
Next season I want to see him dunk like his early years in the NBA, those days he was a fucking dunking beast
He was a descent player for a while but I've been kind of disappointed on how he turned out. Imagine if he had a consistent jumper or a great handle, with that athleticism, he'd be amazing.
He is so underrated
Max Vert Tomahawk Putback dunk buzzer beater is crazy
One of the greatest left handed players of all time.

my face the whole time :o WELCOME TO MOWTOWN!!!!!!!!!!
Monster dunk
What a MONSTER!
most underrated player
1:46 the reaction on the opponents bench hahaha
Its a great day to be a pistons fan!
So underrated...
Used to be one of my favs
