LaBradford Smith can teach your kid how to hoop

Print

The Jewish Community Center of Louisville hosts a variety of sports camps each summer. This year campers can choose from soccer, volleyball, flag football, a multi-sport and a basketball camp. As in years past this JCC basketball camp will be led by hometown hero La Bradford Smith. Smith played at the University of Louisville (UofL) and professionally for the Washington Bullets and the Sacramento Kings. At UofL he started every game of his career and ranked among the leaders in nearly every UofL statistical category. Campers who participate in this camp will learn the fundamentals of basketball. Smith will teach ball handling, shooting, offensive/defensive drills and play games while sharing stories of his time on the court. Special guest speakers include Denny Crum, hall of fame former UofL coach, and Darrell Griffith, former UofL star who played in the NBA.

Camp runs June 22-26 from 9am to 3pm at the Jewish Community Center of Louisville. Campers will be split into two groups, ages 6-9 and ages 10-12. Fees are $225/ $150 for JCC Members. For more information or to receive a camp guide and registration form, call the camp office at (502) 238-2718 or visit our website at www.jccoflouisville.org.

LaBradford Smith Basketball Camp

My name is Drew Mithcell. I am so serious about what I am going to say I am posting my phone number 713-514-7665. I have been trying to find LaBradford Smith online...and this is the first recent thing I found. It is actually the first info I found on him besides his infamous game agains Michael Jordan. WARNING...I dated him for four years in which he used my credit cards and lived a fictious lifestyle and mound of lies and manipulation to the tune of $38,000.00. I was also tracked down by a woman named Sandy in Maryland who he had done the same to and she was trying to sue him. There is no way we were his only victims. This is a habitual lifestyle for this 'man'. He will invade anyone's lives he can get a grip on for green money and ruin you financially if given any opportunity. It saddens me to know no one has been able to put a stop to this con artist LaBradford Smith. Ten years later he is still up to the cons. If you steal from a store you get arrested for theft, if LaBradford Smith steals from you he does it freely again. I wish someone sees this who has the ability to get his story on television. He needs to be investigated by someone and reported the the public for warning.

LA

I have a 5 year old son with him and completely understand everything you are saying. He is antisocial and there is nothing that will change that. We are in and out of child support court all the time. He is currently $5,000 behind. My son doesn't even know who he is and he lives 1/2 mile from us with his wife. I don't want him in my son's life and I am thankful that he stays away. It really sucks that he has done this to several people. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a child he doesn't even claim. I wish he would stop being glorified as an athlete and be seen for who he is as a person.

Disappointment in LaBradford Smith Basketball Camp

My son participated in this camp and it was quite a disappointment. He was very serious about wanting to work on the fundamentals of ball handling, shooting, and learning the positions. There was supposed to be a morning and afternoon session - but nothing ever happened after lunch - they went swimming - which is fun, but it's not basketball. So what sounded like 5hrs of basketball camp, turned into a 3hr morning session of calisthenics followed by a few drills, and basketball games like Knockout. There was no instruction, no coaching, no learning about positions - and there was no Denny Crum or Darrell Griffith. If you're looking for a REAL basketball camp, check out Robbie Valentine's camp. Now that's a basketball camp - and it's a fraction of the cost charged at JCC. I wished I'd found it before I wasted my money on LaBradford Smith.
