Smith’s total income from six years in the National Basketball Assn. was $9.4 million, according to the website Basketball-Reference.com. He told me, and he alleges in a pair of lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, that he discovered in 2012 that he had only $85 in an account at City National Bank.
Take the case of former Los Angeles Clippers forward Craig Smith, who says he was bilked out of more than $2 million. Smith, 31, told me he knew very little about managing money when he first came into serious coin. “Growing up in Los Angeles, I didn’t know what a million dollars looked like,” he said. “You hear about all this stuff, but in real life it’s different.”
David ‘Dubi’ Pick: Former NBAer Craig Smith signs a one-year deal in Israel with Nes-Ziona.
Harrellson said his China experience restored his confidence. Those big numbers weren’t put up against the same level of competition he’ll face in the NBA, but they weren’t amassed against nobodies, either. “We played a lot of good teams,” he said. “There were good players. Every team I played against had a former NBA big man. Hassan Whiteside was on a team, Craig Smith, Hilton Armstrong. Every time I played against somebody who was good. I played well. That’s what I needed to do – go play, get my confidence back and show what I could do. China was a great experience because they let me play. It was great to get my confidence back.”

David ‘Dubi’ Pick: Former NBA C Craig Smith, I’m told via league sources, was officially waived by Hapoel Jerusalem and departs for the US on Saturday.
