Gene Smith: Hoya Paranoia (Former Georgetown Team Captain & NCAA Champion)

True hoop fanatics will understand the beauty of this one. We got the captain from that 1984 Georgetown Hoya championship team. Gene Smith takes the time and shares his experiences and damn is it a good one.

Gene Smith was a defensive nightmare for opposing teams. His motor was relentless and he had an incredible ability to beat guys to a spot, sacrifice his body for a charge, dive on every loose ball, and he just never seemed to go away. He was a key part to Georgetown’s success and earned the team captain role on a championship team that featured Patrick Ewing, David Wingate, Reggie Williams, Michael Jackson and other future NBA players. He went on to be drafted in the 5th round (1st pick, 94th overall) by the Pacers in that historic 1984 NBA Draft.  Gene shares great stories about Patrick Ewing, Coach John Thompson, Michael Jordan, Pearl Washington, James Worthy, Hoya Paranoia, his podcast Hoya Locker Room and MUCH more.

We can’t thank Gene enough for his time and being so real with us. His stories were incredible and we know that all hoop fans will appreciate this one. This was a special one for Zach as he has a deep appreciation for Gene’s game, his motor, and his leadership. We hope our listeners get a feel for the importance of his role on that team and the Georgetown Program after listening to this one. 

Thank you Gene Smith!
