Timeline
Philip Arnold Smith (April 22, 1952 – July 29, 2002) was an American professional basketball player who played for 9 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for various teams, including the Golden State Warriors, San Diego Clippers and Seattle SuperSonics.
Smith played college basketball for the San Francisco Dons.
A 6'4" All-American guard from the University of San Francisco (USF), Smith was not heavily recruited out of George Washington High School. After graduating from high school a semester early, Smith followed his older brother and enrolled in night classes at USF. Having been seen playing in a pickup game on campus, he was recruited by coach Bob Gaillard, who enlisted him on the freshman squad (the NCAA did not allow freshmen to play on varsity at this time) where he averaged 16.7 ppg. He went on to lead the team in scoring in each of his three varsity seasons, 15.0, 18.7, and 20.7 ppg, for a career average of 18.1 ppg and was an all-West Coast Conference selection all three years. The Dons made appearances in the 1972 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament placing 4th in the Western Regional after losing to Weber State, and finished in the elite eight in the 1973 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament and 1974 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, where they lost both times to UCLA under John Wooden.
As a result, he was drafted #1 in the 1973 ABA draft by the Virginia Squires, but declined leaving college early.
He was named to the All-American team his senior year.
Scoring 1,523 career points, he excelled at USF becoming the ninth-leading scorer in school history.
After his senior year, Smith was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 11th pick in the 2nd round of the 1974 National Basketball Association (NBA) draft (29th overall), spending six seasons with them.
He played for 9 seasons (1974–1983) in the National Basketball Association (NBA), for the Warriors, the San Diego Clippers, and the Seattle SuperSonics.
Smith finished his NBA career with 9,924 total points and a 15.1 ppg career average.
As a rookie during the 1975 season, he averaged 7.7 points on 48 percent shooting in 74 games and was a member of the Golden State Warriors' first NBA championship team.
The following year, he stepped into the starting lineup and averaged a career-best 20.0 points while playing in all 82 games.
Smith was a two-time NBA All-Star (1976 and 1977), an All-NBA second-team selection in 1976 and a 1976 All-NBA defensive second-team selection.
A ruptured Achilles tendon prior to the start of the 1979–80 campaign caused the decline of his career.
Was the third of nine children born to Ben and Thelma Smith of San Francisco.
He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Angela, and their five children: Alicia, Philip, Amber, Martin and Peter, and 11 grandchildren.
