JR Smith, nicknamed Nerve Knife, was once Anthony's knife guard during the Nuggets and when LeBron James returned to the Cavaliers.
JR is currently enrolled at North Carolina A&M State University (second semester of freshman year), and he also joined the school's golf team. JR's 2021-22 GPA (College Grade Point) is 4.0, while JR-Smith also received the Academic Athlete of the Year Award from North Carolina A&M University.
When it comes to JR's love life, the most concerned is his scandal with a Hollywood actress. After JR-Smith's marriage, he rarely had a scandal, but at the end of 2019, he was photographed appearing in Las Vegas with Candice Parton.
At that time, the two attended a Halloween costume party in Las Vegas together, and JR was photographed with Candice several times after that. Candice Paddon has starred in many Hollywood blockbusters, including films such as "The Flash", and her handsome appearance and fiery figure have made her gain a large number of fans.
Jr also deleted all social media posts in recent years, most likely a problem with HIS relationship with his wife.
Today's JR is far away from the NBA, but the classic pictures he once brought to fans are still vividly remembered.
Today we will talk about what kind of player JR Smith is.
JR Smith's tattoo is engraved with In Love With My Money, JR has never been selfless, he loves money, so he constantly strives to climb up and earn money to make a rich life for himself and his family.
For a long time in the NBA, JR has not been able to find the best of himself, the defense is not in place, so some people call him a tumor, because of venting his strong desire to attack, he was called a nerve knife.
JR had a tattoo on his right arm, a picture of a dunk, and JR's first tattoo when he was only 15 years old. The character in the picture is Vince Carter, jr who has replaced his name and number on his back with his own, which shows that he loves the sport that runs through his life.
He has an unparalleled talent for basketball and a bohemian personality.
In 2004, he participated in the McDonald's All-Star Basketball Game for High School Students, scored a high-scoring 25 points with a wonderful performance, and later won the MVP of that game with Howard the Monster.
But JR Smith did not accept an invitation from the University of North Carolina and joined the NBA directly.
That year, he was selected to the Hornets with the 18th pick in the first round, did not have the same star-studded treatment as in high school, and could not be integrated into the role positioning required by the head coach, and it was difficult to adapt to the coach and the team, JR was sent away by the Hornets in the 2005-06 season.
He returned to the Nuggets under the command of George Carl, the 7th legendary meritorious coach in history to win a thousand wins. Unfortunately, JR still has a bad relationship with the head coach, and he even blames the head coach for the biggest reason for his lack of glory. Fans who have watched the games of that period will find that JR will shoot three points at the worst time, compete with the manager for playing time, and even throw the ball as soon as he plays. Coach Carl twitched with anger.
In the Nuggets' five years, the team's best result was reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2009, and in addition to that, they all went out early in the playoffs. JR attributed its peak to the enthusiasm of the fans, summed up the trough as a coach, and the disintegration with the Nuggets was expected.
After that, he left the Knicks, but the Knicks were still not the home of the prodigal son. Even though JR averaged a career-high 18.1 points per game at the Knicks, although he had accepted his status as the sixth man, for a long time, he was a cancer on the Knicks, a messy style of play, a lazy defense, and JR's light could not be well displayed.
He is not a pure angel, nor is he a demon covered by darkness, and after many years of wandering, the prodigal son finally found his best home - the knight.
As an excellent 3D player, JR Smith adapted to the Cavaliers' system. In seasons 15 and 16, he set a new three-point record for the Cavaliers, and with a groundbreaking change on the defensive end, you'll see a brand new defense-focused JR.
It was also in that year's Finals that he did what he was supposed to do, not only contributing a lot of firepower on the offensive end, but also doing a good job of containing Klay Thompson or other opponents on the defensive end.
But in any case, the real JR was never a pure angel, much less a demon covered in darkness. The complex tattoos interpret his complex emotions, but the responsibility to the family has never wavered, and he has been fulfilling his responsibilities and responsibilities as a man. Both on and off the court, he really has a basket of flaws and mistakes. But at the same time, his unparalleled passion and unshakable loyalty will also make you feel awe.
For a long time, JR Smith was accused of wasting great talent, and was once seen as a representative of the simple mind because of his convulsive performance. As the years washed, the prodigal son turned back and washed the lead. He handed over his nerves to the years and transformed into a knife that went straight into his opponent's heart.
He is JR Smith, a prodigal son of the whole thing, and a tough guy with an iron backbone. In the NBA, he may not be worth remembering, but one day, the fans who once loved him will erase him from memory, forget the numbers on his jersey, and forget the wonderful moments when he stunned the world, just like people forget their youth.
However, the throbbing and attachment that were once imprinted in the heart by JR's enthusiasm will never be extinguished.
