Deadspin
The playoffs are just two days away now, which means we're going to be seeing a lot of Kenny Smith and his "hilarious" Gone Fishin' bits after a team is eliminated from the playoffs. The man deals with Charles Barkley every night, and that's no small feat.
Some tidbits about Kenny, from his Wikipedia page:
• He married a model who used to be a Barker Beauty.
• He's the commissioner of something called the Premier Basketball League.
• He is not the former guitarist for the Lonesome River Band.
So: Do you like the Kenny Smith? Do you not like the Kenny Smith? Put 'em on the glass, folks.

100% approval, baby! (Only one vote, and it was mine.)
Finally, I can approve one of these Jabronis
Voting no is like voting no to Teller when you've already approved Penn.
Would Chuck be Chuck without his favorite foil?
@Rock You Like An Iracane: RYLAI, that was dangerously close to a "first."
I'm just saying...
Approve. I am not a huge fan of the Association, but I like Kenny and Eddie and Charles, so yeah, it's all good.
His wife is clearly not Carey Cutie material.
@Schluby:
I believe you mean, FINALLY...THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO APPROVE THIS JABRONI!
When he does color for the Knicks games, even with this team, he never finds anything bad to say about their play. As a huge kiss-ass to the MSG network and franchise, he gets one big Disapprove.
Put 'em on the glass, folks.
Ladies....
The "Gone Fishing" bit would be a lot funnier if they just didn't do it.
Nonetheless, approve.
Approved for scooping up Bob Barker's leftovers.
Kenny Smith, come on down!
Can't approve someone that's ego is so inflated with a higher estimation of his self importance to the game of basketball and slam dunking..
"The man deals with Charles Barkley every night, and that's no small feat."
But sitting next to him, by comparison he has small feet.
Approve 100% mainly because of this clip:
+ Watch video
Dorf goeas fishing > Kenny Smith gone fishing
Just so we are clear on the point guard hierarchy:
Tony Parker - Eva Longoria
Kenny Smith - Barker's Beauty
Who does Larry Hughes get?
Dorf goes fishing > Kenny Smith gone fishing
I approve just because of his Slam Dunk Contest efforts
Approve.
@HIV 2 Elway: Fuck you, Nibbles.
N-B-A?
/kidding
Approve.
@Gourmet Spud:
I hear Joumanna Kidd is single...
@Gourmet Spud: A crackhead from St. Louis. Perhaps even a female one.
@Gourmet Spud: A scorching case of herpes.
@Yostal: I'm okay with that.
And: Apparently 24th!
Wow. 93% so far. We really like the NBA on TNT guys, huh?
I think it's hilarious that Charles Barkley is #1, edging out Erin Andrews. They both have asses of some notability, but somehow Barley's won.
(Also, when are we going to get one of these for Michael Tunison? I can't wait to tear his "Fire Closes Popular Chicken Eatery" article a new one!)
@Gourmet Spud: He'd be going for stats rather than partnership, so I'm going to go with Wilt Chamberlain's ghost.
@Yostal: Yeah... what you said.
Kenny's a class guy. When I lived in H-town, he's be the only Rocket to stop after games and sign autographs. Otis Thorpe and Pete Chilcutt, not so much.
Who knew they could make a suit out of burlap?
[66.79.163.197]
Kings from Queens, from Queens come kings/Kenny Smith's raising hell like a class when the lunchbell rings
/DMC'ed approve
I never knew that Karen married Kenny after getting fired from Scranton.
@twoeightnine: I think it's actually horse hair.
@Gourmet Spud: I'm not sure about Hughes, but CP4 was just seen coming out of a hotel room with Hayden and Scarlett.
And also, I approve just for being into it enough to hyperventilate for the dunk contest in the NBA Live games. Earning your paycheck, yep.
@Gourmet Spud: Drew Gooden?
@twoeightnine: Nice photoshop on that.
What?
@Gourmet Spud: How about that astronaut who drove to Florida with a diaper on. She was kind of hot.
@BigJimSlade:
He's earned that.
@Magnakai Haaskivi:
And he's earned that.
Let's not give him too much credit. He only won her in the Showcase Showdown because they ran out of dinette sets.
Sure, why not? If I had to absorb Sir Charles' verbal sodomy night after night, I'd be hungry for some approval, too.
Douchebag at UNC = disapprove
Am I the only one who noticed that he Always seems to wear suits that are too big?
I went to Carolina....approve
Approve, particularly for his stellar work in NBA 2K7.
I particularly enjoyed his first effort, Clerks.
Wait...who is Kenny Smith?
@Lady Andrea:
+1
@BigJimSlade: ScarJo got played like the piano in the "Ebony & Video" video? Which man, between Hayden Christiansen & Chris Paul, got which hole?
He's a former Rocket, so that makes me want to disapprove...
But I can't help myself, approve.
If he doesn't get 95% of the vote, I will be disappointed.
Kenny actually KNOWS basketball. Listen to his keys of the game, he is spot on nearly all the time.
His gig is so good right now, that it would be hard to lure him away, but with his knowledge of the game and repoire with the players, he should be coaching somewhere.
@That-Dude: was going to insert Anchorman 'Panther' joke but Kenny needs serious advocacy with you clowns.
Warm up the boat! *bounces up and down in office chair*
Approve!
Approve on the strength of him making Sir Charles kiss an ass's ass on National TV when Yao had his first 20-pt game.
"Kiss my ass, Chuck."
/double entendres are awesome
As usual, abstinence is the bst policy
