Josh smith is the single most underrated dunker in the nba all time. His shot blocking I used to watch his highlights on RUclips every day. Helped me lead my league in blocks as a guard back in high school
I live in Atlanta but wasn't a hawks fan but people ready did appreciate that hawks squad. People still talk about that team fondly because it's the only successful team that had snice the Dominic wilkins Era.
Im tryna figure out whats more gay than actively listening for something REMOTELY close to sounding like it could be gay.. grown straight men don't play pause. Whats understood aint gotta be said 💯
Growing up watching josh then watching Teague all the way through his last year with the Hawks the second time and seeing him win a championship with the bucks. The last of the era 😢
Smooth was before his time…if he played in this era…his jumper woulda got refined and he woulda been on all star level imo. All he needed was a consistent jump shot fr. Crazy talent yo. Great interview 🔥
I’ve had two moments of “wait… wtf just happened?” in my sports life. One of them was when we played against Josh in high school my soph/his freshman year when he was at Whitefield Academy. Again, he’s a freshmen in high school and dunked from the free throw line… IN THE GAME. Only game film we ever watched as a team was that one and I’m pretty sure it was because of that so we could see it… probably rewound it 15 times. The fact that he/they don’t mention it, lets you know how special his talent was.
I like that now I can just get on RUclips, and search up a podcast from any nba player. I was wondering what j smoove was up to these days, searched his name up and here we are 😂
@BigsmokeATL how could he be projected to be a bust when he was drafted in the first round out of high school? He said he was projected to be a top 20 pick in the video.
@@greatnessembodiedyou sound clueless fool. He went in the top 20 not 5 he had a great career given what number he got drafted.. its always the dudes who don't know shit speaking the most
Josh Smith and ISO JOE had that 08’ Celtics Superteam down bad in a gm 7 and should’ve went on to WIN chip 🏆 but Refs had got court order from commissioner to give Boston every 50/50 call vs ATL to have another Lakers/Celtics Finals for the ratings!!
The stuff they speaking on about high school coaches not playing the kids at their most talented position is true I seen so many coaches mess up kids future being stubborn
They making good points. We don't let kids work through mistakes. All these trainers and everything. Some kids will be polished at 10 years old, then there is pressure for the other parents to send their kids to a trainer. Instead of allowing the kids to develop on the court. Then the kids that could do the drills at 10 don't even become the best at 18. We're doing too much specialized training too young and not enough of the generic athletic development and just learning through mistakes. Kids will be scared to shoot because they get critiqued every-time they miss a shot.
Fr what happened to developing skills and basics in practice. Mfs just get taught advanced elite skills and then you see someone who 18 averaging 25 but they flame out every lefties layup
Born in Atlanta but was a rockets fan so I was super happy when he came to Houston in which he played well. Always got love for josh smith rep my ciry and team well so much respect.
Josh is right about the Miami life style. There's no state tax but going out is expensive they're going tax you in parking and the club and the home prices and property taxes are sky high.
I Met Josh Smith in 2005 at The Burger King: King of Courts 3on3 tournament at Clark-Atlanta University. He judged the Dunk Contest. Dude was cool as hell
@@youtubeguy4539 josh smith wasn’t a shooter and I don’t he ever woulda been. The 5 star guys shooting threes are making a lot and that’s why they do. Josh was always a below 30 percent guy in the league for a reason.
@@jackreilly4427 I agree. But in todays HS game they let none shooters shoot more than they let Josh Smith shoot in back in the day. (5 star player in 2004)
What Morey did to McHale is one of the nastiest moves of all time. The Rockets likely lose that Game 6 if they put James back into the game. James didn't know how to go with the flow of the game and would have started doing what he do instead of what was working for the team. That was the day the Rockets organization decided to revolve everything around James feelings and emotions instead of what was best for the team. That's the reason why that team was always limited.
Josh Smith was like lebron on 2k12 lmao that hawks team was a go to online
Facts 2k12 one of the greatest 2ks. So many teams to use
Facts just drive and dunk 😂😂😂
2k14 i use to smash shit wit dem
I use to piss people off with Him, Iggy and the matrix.
So true
Josh smith is the single most underrated dunker in the nba all time. His shot blocking I used to watch his highlights on RUclips every day. Helped me lead my league in blocks as a guard back in high school
This man won me a chip in nba 2k10 online league to guard Kobe
Underrated dunker 😂😂😂 come on now he waited till year 9 to work on his skills
Exactly how did he help you tho😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
So fuckd up 2k played him on his ratings

Omm 😂
Me too bra def had a lil cult following
Yeppppp. Like frfr
I still do 😂 and mike bibby 😂
Ain't even gonna hold you, this interview was fire. Smooth really had fans but Hawks fans was hard as hell to find back then.
Facts by tbh the city was behind him only the fake fans slander
@@zone6balebzone6baleb49 as a Hawks fan that slander came from shooting three lol

@jarroncarlton I met him at cumberland mall and no one was around him.
The way Jeff Teague tell his stories you’ll think he was trash .. but he was nice asl
Too nice
7:04 “Dwight would have boned him” has a whole new meaning now 💀💀
7:09 and the “yeah he was probably too big” with no pause is crazy
Ctfuuuu i swear i came to make the same comment 😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭
Don't forget 3:19 "That's when me, Dwight Howard, and Randolph Morris came together"...crazy
@@Gsmooverewatched this & zoomed in on DJ. He wanted to laugh or say something so bad 😂

J SMOOTH, I always thought bro looked like The Game when I was a kid 😭😭😭
Feel you on that one 😂😂
Bro
Met Josh Smith a few times in Atlanta. He was always willing to converse. Local Legend. No IG Smoove!
Met him yesterday you are not lying bro. Real cool as long as you let him have his personal space like everyone else. Real chill down to earth dude ✊🏾
Growing up watching josh then watching Teague all the way through his last year with the Hawks the second time and seeing him win a championship with the bucks. The last of the era 😢
Real hawks fans in the building 😎
Horford still in the league going strong
@@jaycharlton613 Man no, F Al! We still haven't forgiven him for going to Boston after we sent them home in 6.
I was a huge Josh Smith fan as a kid man, and I used him on 2k12
ong😂😂 i used him in that career takeover mode😂😂 had his stats crazy😂😂
Facts elite defense & dunking. Had a sneaky midrange too
2k12 josh smith was INSANW
Salute to Jeff Teague for helping my Bucks win a ring! You forever legendary for that Game 6 performance against the Hawks.
Lol
Saying “that’s when we came together” after mentioning Dwight Howard in hindsight is SUPER pause worthy 😂
If Josh Smith would’ve developed a consistent jumper he would’ve been crazy
That motherfucker always cooked on the opposing team in 2K though
or if he just didn't shoot them at all. his best season was when he didn't shoot any 3's
@@romebrownbut think of todays nba lol
@@romebrowncoaching might’ve forced him too
My favorite Josh moment was when he banged on Kendrick Perkins.
Absolutely one of my favorite NBA players during that era. This man was certified viscous.
What is viscous
Josh's dunk contest performance was legendary
“Oh yea you cool with teague?”
“Nigga this nigga is my teamate”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boston fans will forever respect those ATL Hawks years. They were a tough out!
When bruh said “I’m not playing with the lord they was playing. I was tryna see what it felt like” 😂😂😂
😅
Josh Smith made me love basketball. My starting 4 every year in 2k
It was a glitch in those games or like a cheatcode. Very very very very serious
Just pro-hop and pro-hop and pro-hop and pro-hop. It was a real time glitch or cheat
I damn near died when Josh Smith said Antoine Walker. 😂💀
Smooth was before his time…if he played in this era…his jumper woulda got refined and he woulda been on all star level imo. All he needed was a consistent jump shot fr. Crazy talent yo. Great interview 🔥
He was an all star I think u mean like a star like kat lvl star I don’t think he could’ve been superstar lvl but he was nice af
Why would his jump shot be refined now? People could shoot then, he just couldnt....He was also kind of soft
This was a TOP TIER interview!
Elite

Josh smith is truly the hardest blacktop player on 2K, all time hawks with josh and bob petit is crazy work
Fightin off the Holy Ghost is crazy😂😂😂😂
Ayooo when josh said they was faking the Holy Ghost I died 😂😂😂
Bro asked if they ever felt it 😂😂😂😂
That shit had me legit crying 😂😂
I like that now I can just get on RUclips, and search up a podcast from any nba player. I was wondering what j smoove was up to these days, searched his name up and here we are 😂
Literally what I just did today 8 inna morning 😂
One of the most under appreciated players the league has seen
Because he underachieved
@@greatnessembodied he was projected a complete bust with no NBA skills. I think he over achieved

#pause "you ever felt it" is crazy 😂😂😂 but ole boy said naw i fought it off is even wilder😂😂😂

Getting both your parents out the whole is everything. S/o Smoove

Man this is so cool getting a peak at the hawks OG players.
My fav hawks team when y’all ended I started watching melo in NY
Those 2000s-2010s Atlanta Hawks were nasty. Lineup stacked with talent on both ends of the floor, loved seeing them play.
Mceachern blew it smh.. Cobb county legend. Josh Smith was that dude when we was Jits
It’s crazy I’m coming back watching this interview a day after the draft hearing DJ say the lakers ain’t gonna draft bronny 😂😂😂
Josh Smith use to jump out the gym
This the one nigga other then JR Smith that I knew was definitely high out there playing 😂😂
Never felt the Holy Ghost either 😂
one of my favorites of all time
TEAUGE GOING PIGEON TOED 1:38:00 IS NASTY WORK 🤣🤣🤣
No way my man Josh got mad at his ATL coach about talkin to him some way just for him to go coach the same way he complained about 😂
He talked about being talked a certain way as a grown man. Josh coaches kids
DJ be asking some long winded questions. Lord have mercy
Questions be 2 and half minutes 😂
Two of my favorite Atl Hawks! and dang if you was there with Bud we might've won it!

This is a cold cold cold cold video!
Vince carter was doing shit they couldn’t do in high school😂 Vince is so good he created dunks while on the dunk contest
The shorts led me here. The holy ghost segment made me subscribe😂😂😂😂
Man that 2003 Celtics team was crazy!!! Saw it with my own eyes
Great insight on AAU basketball many parents & coaches should listen
This man had the physical talent of a left handed lebron. Gifted dude
