Randy Smith once held the NBA record for most consecutive games played, later broken by A.C. Green in 1997.
Smith died Friday morning after suffering a heart-attack after a workout at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, where he worked. He was 60.
Smith was the MVP of the 1978 NBA All-Star Game with 27 points representing the Buffalo Braves. During the course of his 13-year NBA career, Smith also played with the San Diego Clippers, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks.
He averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals during his career.
Another sad story about an NBA family member, it’s been a really rough year. Thoughts and prayers go out to Smith’s family and friends.
