You Can Tell J.R. Smith's Mood By The Speed Of His Hoverboard
J.R. Smith got his new toy on Thursday. (It was a gift from Jamie Foxx. Seriously.) So he just had to roll into the arena on it. Luckily for us, that meant he had to roll out too....
J.R. Smith Has The NBA By The Shoelaces
Hello again, casual basketball fan! The NBA Finals begin tonight.

The Cavaliers Had A Party In The Cold Tub
What’s a good way to celebrate sweeping your way through the Eastern Conference Finals and earning a long rest before the start NBA Finals? Partying in a cold tub with your bros, of course!...
J.R. Smith Is Quite Possibly Too Real
J.R. Smith is a gift. Not only did we receive his 28-point, 8-of-12-from-downtown night in the Cavs’ Game 1 win, but we got to hear him talk about it. And there’s nothing quite like J.R. Smith explaining what he does....
Tonight Was The Good Kind Of J.R. Smith Game
Tonight was a J.R. Smith Game. That is a terrifying sentence to read for anybody who has ever been a fan of a team that J.R. Smith played for. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he does something inexplicably stupid, like elbowing somebody in the head. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he plays terri...
J.R. Smith: LeBron Is "The Real MVP"
You expect guys to stump for their teammates for MVP. (Except if it’s Kevin Love being asked.) But J.R. Smith went above and beyond with his praise for LeBron James, declaring his Cavs teammates “the real MVP,” and positing that James should probably win the award every season. ...
J.R. Smith: I'm Better Now Because I Can't Really Party In Cleveland
J.R. Smith has been pretty good since joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, scoring 14 points per game and shooting 37 percent from behind the arc. While playing for the Knicks during the first chunk of the season, Smith was scoring just 10 points per game and shooting 35 percent from behind the arc. Acc...
J.R. Smith's Debut As A Cavalier Was Only Fun For J.R. Smith
J.R. Smith shared his mindset before his first game with the Cavaliers Wednesday night: "When in doubt, shoot the ball." He missed all five of his shots in 18 minutes as Cleveland lost to the Rockets, 105-93....
How In The Ever-Lovin' Hell Can The Knicks Be So Much Bullshit?
Oh yes, this is the good stuff. This is the pure Colombian. This is the braindead, dogshit, dick-in-the-wall-socket-type Knicks experience that's been missing for the last, uh—fuck it, the last couple months, at least. Welcome back, assholes....
J.R. Smith Ends Game With A Very J.R. Smith Shot
The Knicks lost 97-95 to the Orlando Magic last night, and this here was the final play of the game. I'm not going to assume that this isn't the play Derek Fisher drew up, but Carmelo Anthony's frantic calling for the ball would seem to indicate that J.R. pulling up from three was not exactly what...
Taylor Swift And Amar'e Stoudemire Are Buddies(?)
Pop star and New York institution Taylor Swift, who moved to New York in April, is a big fan of the New York Knicks. She is a fan despite the fact that the Knicks are a garbage-ass basketball team, but as Swift told Time.com, her love of them is not entirely without merit:...
The Hapless Knicks Get Their Own "One Shining Moment" Montage
The New York Knicks were officially eliminated from the playoffs Saturday, as the Atlanta Hawks clinched the eighth seed with a win over the Heat. But don't you want to relive the delightful journey that was the Knicks' 2013-14 season, set to "One Shining Moment"? I sure do! Let's do that....

J.R. Smith Pulls Down Vince Carter's Headband
J.R. Smith is back to his fucking-with-people's-accessories ways. Here we see J.R. pulling down Vince Carter's headband, likely trying to get it around his eyes so he can't see. Fortunately for Vince, he was the Greg Monroe of J.R.'s headband game, not Shawn Marion....
J.R. Smith Torches Anthony Bennett For Nasty Dunk
Here we have J.R. Smith turning Cavs rookie Anthony Bennett from player to spectator. First, he blows by Bennett with a pretty gnarly crossover and then continues on to the rim where he finishes it off with a windmill dunk. Clean, quick and decisive. All in all, it's a pretty nifty little bit of hu...
Here's Every Shot Carmelo Anthony Made In His 62-Point Night
Carmelo Anthony had the highest scoring game ever at Madison Square Garden last night and surpassed Bernard King's 60 for the franchise record of points scored in a game. Once Melo passed King (and Kobe Bryant's MSG record of 61 points) he was removed with over seven minutes remaining because the K...
J.R. Smith Plays Air Guitar While Enjoying A Very Chill Tune
At some point during last night's 76ers-Knicks game, J.R. Smith helped a young girl get through her cover of a popular Lumineers song. This is incontrovertible proof that despite the fact that the Lumineers make vapid, insufferably folksy music that appeals to the lowest common denominator of human...
Carmelo Anthony Could Really Use A Day Off
We get it, Carmelo. None of us likes having to think about going to work in the morning, and that 29-16 you slapped on the Suns must have required a lot of energy. ...
You Know Who Also Untied His Opponent's Shoes? Larry Bird
So it turns out that J.R. Smith isn't the only basketball player to have untied an opponent's shoes during free throws. A couple decades ago, another trash-talking, non-urban volume shooter pulled the same stunt, and somehow managed not to get written up by a professional sportswriter as a cross bet...
