He was pretty upfront about not liking Cal, and about why. He’s no Kentucky fan of course, but you’d think he’ll be a little more even handed now. That said, he adds very little to the broadcast. Charles doesn’t know college ball either, but still makes reasonable points. And is funny

Yeah I don't think he was a Cal guy. But obviously as a UNC homer he isn't going to say much niceties about UK

Didn’t Cal cut him in the pros? I think that is the main reason he hasn’t liked UK in the past. Or at least that was one reason, I believe.

Kenny Smith didn't play for the Nets... couldn't find anything on google either. Think he's just a UNC homer

No he has a personal grudge against Cal . Pretty sure the Nets brought him in for a tryout but Cal didn’t sign him.

Kenny Smith is nowhere nere deserving of the job he has. If it were not for the UNC ESPN connection he wouldn't have this job. He brings nothing to the table.

Yes. Calipari waived Kenny Smith. Smith was a 10-year NBA veteran. He retired soon after Calipari waived him.
