Philanthropist Smith Retires from League. I remember when he donated the loot for the student center. The next step for the big money makers is philanthropy.
Steve was always the man. I remember one of his best games was when he was still at MSU. It was in the NCAAs against a Georgia Tech team that had Dennis Scott, Brian Oliver and Kenny Anderson (1990). They were going back and forth all game. MSU lost in OT - there was some controversy in the game, but Steve was BALLIN'. He could do it all - and he did it with dignity and grace.

I think MSU underestimated the skillz of the big 3 on that Tech team. They were really a strong squad that pushed UNLV to the limit - until they decided to throw the Duke game for whatever minimal compensation they received.
