A seventh round draft choice out of Division II Buffalo, Smith was an iron man playing for the small market Buffalo Braves and then the Clippers when the team moved west.  Smith set the league consecutive game mark of 906 (since broken by A.C. Green).  As Bob McAdoo's sidekick in crime, Randy Smith and the Braves were actually contenders in the mid 70's and he showed he belonged with the big boys especially in the 1978 All-Star game where he came off the bench to score twenty seven points and win the MVP award.
