Former NBA star Joe Smith is still talking and granting interviews following his wife Kisha Chavis’s appearing in an adult movie and also secretly owning an OnlyFans account to pay the bills since Joe is in financial distress.
Joe Smith sat down with VladTV and opened up about going from $61 million down to $3K and also not getting any help after appearing in the CNBC reality TV show about ex-broke NBA stars.

According to Joe Smith, he thought he was going to be elevated with the show but that never happened as he couldn’t get back on his feet financially after the show.
“It was a very low point,” Smith said during an interview on Nov. 22. “When I say I was in a deep, deep, deep depression, like mentally messed up, I’m telling you I was there.”
Smith recalled appearing on the CNBC reality TV show “Back in the Game,” which was hosted by former Yankee Alex Rodriguez, who mentored former athletes and entertainers “who’ve fallen on hard times and need help getting back on their feet financially,” according to the show description.
Joe Smith wants to say he never benefited from the show despite going in with high hopes.
“But that TV show, I thought would help more with the stuff they were saying they would do, and saying that they would help me with,” he said.
“But once we finished shooting that was it. I couldn’t get in touch with anybody at the TV show… So I was kind of just left out to dry after that show aired.”
Despite not getting elevated after the show, Joe says he never regretted participating in the show.
“Because I got a lot of feedback from people that went through what I went through,” he said. “They were very understanding and they were giving me input and insight on what I could possibly do to kind of elevate a little bit of that.”
Joe Smith also revealed that his NBA pension hasn’t kicked in yet and urged NBA stars and other athletes to share their stories for the next generation.
Once you start making money as an athlete while you are young, that is when you have to start making plans for your future and investing massively into profitable ventures, and not blow the cash up on lavish travels and stuff.
