Back in 2016, NBA Hall of Famer and Turner Sports analyst Charles Barkley had one of the great, genuine reactions to Kris Jenkins’ buzzer-beating three to win Villanova a national title over North Carolina.
On Saturday, it was Kenny Smith’s turn to have a joyous on-set moment at the Final Four.
Smith — who played at North Carolina — was on pins and needles watching the final seconds of North Carolina’s 81-77 win over Duke in the national semifinal. And when the final whistle sounded, Smith was so happy. Thankfully, a camera was set on Smith, so we could all see the reaction as it happened.
