Ish Smith He is one of those essential guys in the locker room for the good vibes he brings and the kind of colorful character he is, holder of the record for having played for the greatest number of franchises with up to 13 in 14 seasons. Part of the champion Nuggets last season and now in the Charlotte Hornets, Nikola Jokic and his people had a great detail with him last night that says everything about how much they love him.
Before the game that the Nuggets beat the North Carolina team in Denver (111-93), all the Colorado players gave their ring to Smith, who, having changed teams, could not be part of the jewel award ceremony at the beginning of the season.
“Seeing everyone in the center of the court, enjoying themselves with me, was fun, because we did it together,” the point guard said excitedly. 35 yearswho received an avalanche of slaps before merging into a hug with Jokic, who did not need to force too much with 13 points -6/7 in field goals-, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in 27 minutes, being Jamal Murray the leading scorer with 25 points. Aaron Gordonwho returned after missing two games due to his dog’s bite, scored 10 points in 24 minutes.
“The team that won the championship will be connected forever,” Murray noted in reference to Smith. “We keep a chat in which we continue to post fun things,” added the Canadian point guard.
Smith, the ultimate expression of the wandering player, has played for the Rockets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, Bucks, Suns, Thunder, Sixers, Pistons, Wizards, Hornets and Nuggets. Ish Smith barely participated in 43 regular season games last year with an average of 9 minutes and in 4 playoffs with 3. But in Denver they have him a huge appreciation.
