Kenny Smith on McCants: ‘That guy couldn’t tie my shoelaces’

Posted Jun 20, 2014
Former Tar Heel basketball great Kenny Smith didn’t mince words in his response to allegations by Rashad McCants about academic shenanigans at UNC. “When I heard Rashad McCants was supposedly getting good grades because he was a good player, I was, like, 10 times a better player than that guy, and they never gave me one grade. That guy couldn’t tie my shoelaces.” (Greensboro News & Record)
