2015 NBA All-Star Game a homecoming for Kenny Smith

Posted Feb 12, 2015
Kenny Smith, who grew up in Queens, is the designated New Yorker on TNT's NBA studio crew. So next week's All-Star Game has special resonance for him. "I'm excited about it," he said. "I'm probably the only one in my extended family that does not live in the tri-state area. I was actually named after the city. My name is Ken-NY. That's why I'm Kenny." (Newsday)
