    JR Smith a champion is something I never thought would happen. It's also something I'm not sure I want to really think a lot about.

    I will probably always think of him as this guy. Sorry.

    I've always hated this dude. But I thought he came off as genuine in that interview, and I look at him differently now

    Yeah I don't mean to hijack your thread with my hate. He certainly had a human moment there and I can't deny he was very earnest in these playoffs, but I still dislike him and I still think he's probably a dingus.

    it was just interesting to see him in a moment of candor. wonder how much of his thoroughly detestable persona is cultivated as a defense for his sense of vulnerability? i'll probably never know, but i certainly didn't expect to see THAT.

    While it is good to hear him acknowledge what he's been through...overall Smith is still a twit.

    This. I wasn't moved by the weepy speech. Moved about as much as Garnet's "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN" wail. Whatever hardships JR's endured were brought upon him by himself. Happy for him and his family? Sure, why not. But there are some true sad stories out there from players that aren't douchebags that have remained good people after getting in the NBA. We all knew JR would go straight back to being JR. Nothing wrong with celebrating of course but next week he'll be somewhere wrong at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing.

    I quite enjoyed making this when I heard he opted out again. I think it was a mistake. He may sign for more years, but I think it may be for less again lol.
