Charles Smith (basketball, born October 1975)

Charles Smith (born 23rd October 1975) is an American-born English professional basketball player. He plays for the Newcastle Eagles in the British Basketball League.[1][2]

Charles is the only Eagles player who actually pre-dates Fab Flournoy at the club. His first year was 2000-2001 under coach Craig Lynch and since then apart from one year in Spain and 3 games for the Scottish Rocks he has remained an Eagle.

Charles comes from a family background of basketball.[3] Both his brothers play in Europe professionally. He starred for Rider University in New Jersey in his college days and since coming to England has demonstrated himself to be one of the smoothest and most complete scorers in BBL history. He has been MVP in no fewer than three separate final games. He now lives in the UK with his wife, Nicola, and three young daughters.[4]
