From Hoopedia
Adrian Howard Smith (born October 5, 1936, in Farmington, Kentucky) is an American former National Basketball Association player.
Smith was a member of the undefeated U.S. men's basketball team that won the gold medal in the 1960 Olympics.
A 6"1" guard, he was drafted out of the University of Kentucky by the Cincinnati Royals in 1961. Career highlights include his surprising winning of the 1966 NBA All-Star Game MVP in which he scored 24 points in 26 minutes of play (assisted, literally, by his regular season teammate Oscar Robertson), and his league-leading free throw percentage of 90.3% in the 1966-67 season. In the 1969-70 season, Smith was traded by the Royals to the San Francisco Warriors. Smith's NBA career ended following the 1970-71 season, after which he played one season in the American Basketball Association with the Virginia Squires.
