Kenny Smith On Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, And the NBA’s Decision to Highlight Social Justice

Kenny Smith’s new basketball camp is taking flight.

Due to restrictions surrounding COVID-19, which abruptly canceled high school and college basketball seasons, Smith has created The Jet Academy. The virtual camp will work on skills and drills, as well as feature stars from the NBA and WNBA, including Kemba Walker, Sue Bird, Victor Oladipo, Brittney Griner, Trae Young, and Breanna Stewart.

Smith, who is now known for his work as an analyst on TNT’s Inside The NBA, is a two-time NBA champion. He has been running basketball camps for the past two-and-a-half decades in North Carolina, which is where he attended college and was a teammate of Michael Jordan.
