At Pistons media day, yesterday, we had the chance to catch up with Josh Smith and talk about a variety of topics.

It turns out that Smith is a big Madden player and also a Matthew Stafford fan. It makes sense considering that Smith played in Atlanta for nine seasons and Stafford went to the University of Georgia.

Josh Smith went on tell us about an encounter he had with Stafford a few years ago when he was in town playing the Pistons as a member of the Hawks.

"I went to Somerset mall and I caught him in there and I asked him for a picture and he looked at me crazy."

Stafford looked back at him and said, "But you're Josh Smith" at which point, Smith intermediately cut in and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, you're Matthew Stafford."

Ultimately, Hawks Guard Jeff Teague snapped the photo and later made fun of Smith for asking Stafford for a picture.
