Best known for:
– Being the #1 pick in 1995 (ahead of KG, Sheed and Stackhouse)
– Peaking in his second year (18.7 ppg / 8.5 rpg) then playing for ANOTHER 14 YEARS
– Holding the record for Most NBA Teams Played For (12)
– Getting busted being paid under the table by the Wolves that ruined KG’s prime and probably cost them a title
– Having a game as boring as his bloody name
– Looking like a bloke who’d lecture you about recycling when you accidentally put a plastic bottle in the rubbish

Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Mate – Joe Smith was unreal those first two years in Golden State and then he played for every bloody team in the NBA. Also, he released a rap mixtape as Joe Beast that was somehow JUST as mediocre as his name AND his game.
