My Take

J. R. Smith is one of those players who could drive you absolutely crazy and light up an arena in the same possession — that's kind of his whole deal. The Newark-raised shooting guard had a career full of flash: a Sixth Man of the Year award with the Knicks in 2013, and a championship ring with LeBron's Cavaliers in 2016. He was capable of dropping 25 points on pure buckets-getting brilliance, but also capable of, well, dribbling out the clock when a tie game called for a timeout. I actually respect that he's fully owned his chaotic legacy rather than run from it — and going back to college golf at North Carolina A&T in his mid-30s showed a self-awareness and hunger that a lot of people missed the first time around.
