LaBradford Corvey Smith (born April 3, 1969) is an American former professional basketball player.
He played collegiately at the University of Louisville before being selected by the Washington Bullets in the 1st round (19th overall) of the 1991 NBA draft.
His best year as a pro came during the 1992–93 season as a member of the Bullets, when he appeared in 69 games and averaged 9.3 ppg.
Smith is known for scoring 37 points on Michael Jordan in a road game against the Chicago Bulls on March 19, 1993.
It turns out “Nice game, Mike” was never actually said, but was a made up story by Michael Jordan to motivate himself to perform better against Smith.
