Daily Dunk: LaBradford Smith

LaBradford Smith was an athletic guard/forward for Louisville from 1987-91 who averaged double digits all four years in college and hitting better than 35 percent from behind the arc from his sophomore year on. The Bullets took him in the first round in 1991 and he ran with them for a couple of years before falling out of the league.

He's most famous for being the dumbass who pissed off Michael Jordan on March 19, 1993, by dropping 37 points - his career high - in a loss. NBA heads know Mike flipped out after the game and promised to drop that many in the first half in the second game of the back-to-back set with Washington. He walks into the locker room at halftime with 36 after rimming out a jumper at the buzzer.

Anyhow, Smith was another leaper from Louisville, and here he is showing excellent form on the double-pump reverse on a breakaway against UCLA.
