Kenny Smith was not on set for “Inside the NBA” on TNT Monday and instead was in Los Angeles. He was asked why he wasn’t on the show that day and said he’s been spending his time hanging out with President Obama. “This is — Barry as I call him — Barack Obama’s second day off. So he asked me to come and talk basketball with him,” Smith said Monday. (Larry Brown Sports)
