Talk of Champions: Stories of the People Who Made Me: A Memoir – by Kenny Smith

Posted on 05/24/202303/27/2026 by Mark Lieberman

I know who Kenny Smith is, not only from the Houston Rockets where he won two championship rings, but also Inside the NBA on TNT. When I saw he had written a book, I knew I had to read it.

It was more of a book of who helped him along the way in high school, college, the NBA, and his partners at TNT, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Ernie Johnson. I had no idea that when he was a rookie with the Sacramento Kings, that Bill Russell was his head coach and Willis Reed was his assistant coach – that is some history right there! It was a fairly quick and easy read, and I enjoyed reading it.
