Shelley Smith is a reporter at ESPN. She’s done stories on some of the most memorable moments in sports history. It is the unique angles that keep Shelley, who avoids the obvious, valuable on the sidelines at games.
The AdversityEveryone knows Shelley is a pro. When life creates adversity, Shelley gets simple. She creates a plan and keeps working. Smith defeated cancer. When she lost her hair from treatments, she appeared on camera bald, enjoying not having to worry about the wind messing up her hair.
While covering the Warriors, Shelley had a stroke in the team's locker room. When her mom passed, she got back to work on the sidelines in Denver where her mom and her had gone to games. Hip and knee surgeries simply make walking without a limp a significant goal; and Shelley pushes through.
