Joe Smith NBA Basketball Card 2000 Fleer No 64 in Excellent Mint condition, see photos. Joe Smith put together a highly dependable 16-year career in the NBA, establishing himself as a productive power forward and one of the league's ultimate journeymen. After a phenomenal collegiate run at the University of Maryland—where he swept national Player of the Year honors in 1995—he was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, ahead of future icons like Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace. Smith earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors and peaked individually in his second season, averaging 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Over the course of his 1,030 career games, he became a valuable, mobile veteran who ultimately tied a league record at the time by playing for 12 different franchises, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers. He retired in 2011 with a reliable baseline of 11,208 total points and a career average of 10.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
