Sam Smith, 1 of 1st 3 black student-athletes to integrate the University of Louisville men's basketball, & ABA champ with Utah Stars (1971) dead at 78

A trailblazer in every sense of the word. Rest in Power sir!


I actually remember him I went to one of the Kentucky games vs Stars in playoffs
He played with Zelmo Beatty, and willie wise. and byu's Dick Nemelka and Ron Boone.
The old ABA is where the 3 point line originated from.... which ruined basketball by the way.
