Biography
Derek Ervin Smith (November 1, 1961 – August 9, 1996) was an American professional basketball player. He won a national championship with the Louisville Cardinals in 1980, and spent nine years in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in a career shortened by a knee injury. Smith went on to become an assistant coach for the Washington Bullets from 1994 until his death two years later.
