in the 1988 NBA draft. We will not tell him about the fact that going into that draft,

I think it was Moogie Blaylock that I was hoping for, but all turned out well because by 1998,

he was an all-star center for the Indiana Pacers and one of the most popular players in franchise

history. Rick Smiths joins us on the program. Rick, how are you? I'm doing great. Glad to be talking to you guys.

All right. Let's begin with this. You are currently, and I know that you kind of split time.

I knew you were living in Indianapolis for a while and then moved to Arizona. So I'm assuming

that Arizona is where you are and then you will be here for the All-Star weekend, correct?

Yes. Yeah, I spent the winter in Arizona, and I'll be flying

out there tomorrow evening. Got some good time in Indiana. Okay, so let's go back to, before we kind of

look back at your career and just the fun and how much you keep track of the Pacers today,

you know, being an All-Star, I mean, this being All-Star weekend and being in Indianapolis,

when you were an All-Star and you were playing in the All-Star game, what memories do you

have of it or was it kind of a whirlwind altogether?

Yeah, it pretty much was.

Definitely wasn't expecting to be an All-Star that year, but the coaches picked me, so that was a nice honor, of course.

Yeah, it was a world-wind weekend for sure.

But looking back, man, I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
