This inspirational brother must be no stranger to everyone, JR-Smith is also. Why is he inspirational? Because he recently had a new identity.
Not long ago, sports management company Excel Sports announced that it had officially signed a contract with former NBA star JR-Smith, and the company had obtained jr's portrait and other rights in the golf program. According to media reports, after the signing of this contract, golf equipment and clothing brands will cooperate with it, and JR Smith can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.
For an NBA player, making hundreds of thousands of dollars after retiring is a trivial matter, after all, most of them have made enough money in the NBA for a lifetime.
Take JR Smith, for example, who entered the NBA in 2004 and made a total of $90 million in his career, so the gains were nothing more than a drizzle for him.
So why this endorsement? In fact, he wanted to lead to his next topic through this endorsement.
It's no secret that many NBA players enjoy the sport of golf, such as Curry and Iguodala. JR is no exception, having said he's had a month on the court and said his own level of golf is at the top of the NBA, second only to Curry.
Of course, if you look at it horizontally, JR will definitely have a hard time getting golf endorsements. Some people would say that JR has two championship rings, so it has enough social influence, which is fine, but it is only partially correct. The other part is that he is currently on the golf varsity team playing in NCAA golf tournaments, so there is a constant exposure in the golf field.
Did you find any key points? That's right, it's the varsity team!
Generally speaking, players who retire from the NBA either enjoy life and occasionally blow the glory days in basketball programs, or go to the sea to do business and tinker with the assets in their hands.
But JR-Smith chose a completely different path, choosing to return to college — in August 2021, JR officially retired from the NBA to pursue humanities at North Carolina A&M State University.
In the 2004 NBA Draft, JR was selected with the 18th pick in the first round, when he had just graduated from high school and went straight to the draft, and then began his 16-year NBA career.
In fact, the end of JR's career was somewhat bumpy. In the 2018-19 season, JR played only 11 games, averaging 6.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. On November 21, 2018, the Cavaliers announced that JR would not play again for the team, and he was cut in the summer of 2019.
Jr went without the ball for a year, and it wasn't until July 2, 2020, when the Lake signed JR, jr-Smith played in six games for the Lakers, averaging 2.8 points, 0.8 boards, 0.5 assists, shooting 31.8% from the field and 9.1% from three-point range. Although his personal ability has been unable to adapt to the NBA, he followed the Lakers to win the second championship of his career, which is also a successful ending.
When he was young, JR did a lot of stupid things, and even caused murders when he was most "crazy".
In 2007, in order to rush to his brother Chris's graduation party, he illegally overtook and overspeed, causing a traffic accident, resulting in the death of his friend André Bell, who was only 21 years old.
But because Bell's mother dropped the case, Smith spent only 24 days in jail, fined $506, had his driver's license revoked for two years, and participated in 500 hours of community service.
Although he avoided jail time, the constant troubles on and off the field allowed Smith to receive a lot of negative reviews. George Carr, who once coached Smith at the Nuggets, gritted his teeth when talking about Smith: "I'd love to know which planet this guy came from and what was in his head?" ”
In the impression of many people, JR is a nerve knife, a temper tantrum, and a famous thorn in the league. Either way, he seems to have nothing to do with learning. But it is such a person who chooses to ignore the eyes of others after retiring from the army and returns to the campus to study seriously.
In school, JR's life was no longer a flight to all parts of the country, but instead of completing the homework assigned by the professor, and of course joining the club like everyone else, JR successfully joined the golf varsity team by personal strength.
"It's going to be interesting," JR-Smith said in an interview announcing the decision, "and it's clear that the 20,000-person gymnasium and the university golf course are two different environments." But completing a free throw in front of 5,000 spectators is just as stressful as completing a 5-foot putter in front of three people. So it's the same for me. ”
Why is JR making up for regrets? Because of his ties to North Carolina, he was ready to join the historic University of North Carolina in 2004 and play under Coach Roy Williams, but he broke his contract to participate in the NBA Draft after he became famous in the McDonald's National Classic.
So this time he returned to school, he still chose North Carolina, but the school was North Carolina A&M State University.
JR's schooling can not be an experiential class, he is going to really complete the teacher's homework. When I first started school, JR also posted its homework on social media: presenting its vision for the future in 5 to 10 years in a slide presentation in English literature class.
"As far as I'm concerned, because I have a lot of imagination, it would be quite interesting," JR-Smith said in an interview at the time, "I don't know if the professor is ready [for my publication], but I'm obviously not an ordinary freshman." So I don't know what I should do. ”
Of course, the speech was just an appetizer for his college assignments, and then he experienced the difficulties of college. As a result, his social media has become a variety of learning complaints, almost exactly the same as what ordinary college students say.
For example, ONCE, JR complained on social media that he had to get up at 5 a.m. to write homework. He put it this way: "In the face of this knowledge, my head is bigger. Waking up at 5 a.m. to do my homework, I knew studying was a challenge, but I wasn't discouraged. I'll hold my head high and keep on cheering! ”
"Now I want to change majors, is this normal?" "Wandering in the ocean of knowledge, my head is about to explode." "English is my native language, but these documents are..." These are all content on JR social media, and even memes are similar to those of college students. (Suddenly feel a little cute)
But he always stressed the need to study seriously, saying this: "Everyone in the city asked me, 'Who are you looking for to do your homework for you?'" I lean on, I really want to learn something. ”
So a semester later, JR also proudly posted its results on social media: "The results are out!" My GPA is 4.0 out of 10! I'm so happy now!!! ”
For golf, JR said he never hired a professional coach, just learned a little trick from time to time by watching the golf channel. But with 12 years of golfing experience, his level is naturally not bad.
"I just know how to compete with myself," JR said of his level of golf at the time, "there are many similarities between shooting and playing golf, you need to have imagination, and you have to use different skills in different situations." Keep pace when shooting and swinging. ”
The self-taught JR was also recognized, with Richard Watkins, coach at North Carolina A&M State University, praising JR: "The performance of my golf team has been greatly helped, and this controversial young man is definitely a good athlete. ”
The elderly JR not only put away his sharpness and edges, but also had a much gentler temperament, and more importantly, he always maintained a studious heart.
Seeing a paragraph describing his words is well written and shared with everyone: Arena and Campus, JR Smith writes two "examination papers", the first one is mixed, the second one has just "started writing", the beginning is wonderful, and the follow-up can be expected.
After reading this, do you think that JR's life today is also very inspiring?
