JR Smith. The man. The myth. The...

Listen, y'all. This dude has one mode. He starts the game in heat check. Hand in his face? Pull up three. Kyrie has scored 10 points in a row? Fall-away three. LeBron unstoppable going to the basket? Smith might mess around and try a hook shot. From 3.

And he's now an NBA champion. Sure, he might "accidentally" punch a dude in the face, but let's let bygones be bygones.

Bask in his glory.

Post game speech. Watch it.

He also just gave one of the realest and most touching post-game interviews ever.

[VendettaRed07]

So right.

This is my second time crying today. Got me feeling some type of way.

[Alpha Centauri]

So happy for Earl.


fuck iman tho. net negative in NY and in CLE

 

[Kastrioti]

JR Smith is that dude. So many times I'd watch him play and know he has the ability to be one of the best two guards in the game but would ball the fuck out one out of every 15 games.

That postgame interview from a few minutes ago was something else *phew*

[Cipherr]

Pipes for everyone! But man this dude has come a long way.....

LMAO. That's why I loved his post game speech. I think he really did stop believing he would ever see a chip towards the end of his career.

Legendary, I teared up.

 

[Niraj]

I teared up at his post-game interview. Really happy for him.

 

[friskykillface]

Live by the JR

[Lime]

I think these two great tribute songs capture him pretty well:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UGT1dQHEd7E

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6364ItTQwUw

As a Knicks fan, I always appreciated him through both love and disappointment.

That post game interview on Fathers Day of all things was amazing. I am still completely speechless and stunned.

 

[DominoKid]

always been a big fan of his. cleveland better stock up on the henny

 

[Lime]

Don't forget the time Melo was unconscious on the floor and JR continues the play

[Qaloon]

Laid down the pipe...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

every time a tough situation comes up in life, Im gonna think "What Would JR Do?"

 

[NoctisVsStar]

 

[The 18th Letter]

[blame space]

best dude

 

[Krixeus]

Da real MVP

 

[Syphon Filter]

happy for him, he loves ny

 

[Yamabro]

Remember guys if you're even in position where the choices are either drink some more or talk to the girl looking at you from across repeat these words "What Would JR Smith Do?"

Nothing bad can come from that thought process.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Dude is awesome. So happy for him.

both obviously lmao.

 

[Ephemeris]

Feels good man. Feels gooooooood

 

[Ronin Ray]

The king of fuckball is now the champion of fuckball

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

He can frustrate the hell out of you, but the guy came up huge so many times, and he deserves this.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Remember folks... JR MOTHA FUCKIN SMITH WENT ON AN 8-0 run against the best regular season team ever on a game 7 on the road to help Cleveland win the chip.

 

[newjeruse]

JR was a few years behind me in high school in NJ.

I remember going to see LeBron play at the Prime Time Shootout in Trenton, NJ in 2003. He completely busted Trevor Arizas ass. The place was packed and sold out to see LeBron. He put on a show for the crowd and the place emptied as soon as SVSM won.

The game after, with a completely empty arena? St. Benedicts against some team I forget. JR Smith went off, shooting 3s from all over the court. It's crazy to think that was more than 13 years ago and how far they've both come.

 

[Lime]

Remember folks... JR MOTHA FUCKIN SMITH WENT ON AN 8-0 run against the best regular season team ever on a game 7 on the road to help Cleveland win the chip.

And to start the second half after being down 7 points.

 

[Kevtones]

I love that he STILL gives the NBATV cameraman a fist bump after that speech right before he hugs his father.


brb buying a JR jersey

 

[Yamabro]

both obviously lmao.

Damn right.

 

[Dominator]

Shed a tear watching that post game speech. Damn.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I love this thread.

JR is now my iPad background.

 

[Mortemis]

JR Smith is a role model.

If he can get himself a ring, there's nothing you can't do.

 

[FloatingDivider]

As someone who hadn't seen the game yet because I live in Europe and had dvr'ed it since I had to be awake for work. This thread makes me sad for the game being spoiled. While I'm glad the king of fuckball is now reigning the land I'm wish I could have seen it myself first



Sorry for my spoilerphobia

Edit: Here's a vote for renaming it to the Jr Smith appreciation thread without the spoilery subtitle. I mean if you click on it it's whatever if you get spoiled but getting spoiled by thread titles suck.

Nvrmind the entire offtopic subforum is now a spoiler

 

[Big-E]

Always liked him after watching his time in China.

How did you not expect threads revealing the winner after a championship game?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Sorry for my spoilerphobia

Sorry about the spoilers, but sports are like the one thing left that you have to see live.

Watch the game, though. It was good. Though, yes, obviously the drama is dramatically lessened by knowing the outcome.

 

[m3k]

im a knicks fan and i didnt like how he played in the last season for us... but hell, the knicks are their own problem

im really happy he played a role at cleveland... and if you dont know he has some monster dunks!

[ameleco]

That interview, wow. It's so real. Very happy for the guy!

 

[BSherrod]

That interview got to me, great stuff.

Bleacher Report came with the funny, though:

Damn. I teared up.

As a long suffering Knicks fan, good to see a former Knick have some success.

When the Mo Williams thread dropping

 

[teruterubozu]

Fuckball is always victorious in the end

Fuckball made a mockery out of GSW's refined "game-changing" shooting this series.

 

[giga]

JR is a better basketball player than Curry. Objectively.
