JR Smith to LeBron James

Показать описание
Is there really anything that needs to be said about JR Smith and LeBron James that hasn’t been said already? They were together for just under 4 seasons and made 4 straight NBA Finals. By the time LeBron had left for the Lakers, JR was one of only 3 Cavaliers (the other two being Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love) left on the squad from their 2014-15 Finals run.
Many will point to the infamous moment in Game 1 of the 2018 Finals, but I would like to point out that George Hill missed that free throw and JR made a great play by outrebounding the man who would win his second consecutive Finals MVP in Kevin Durant (who also just happens to be 7 feet tall)…yes, what happened next was unfortunate, but many forget everything else before that moment. Many forget that the Cavs were 19-16 before trading for JR (and Iman Shumpert).
For 4 years, his shooting and ability to make plays made him an effective member of team, especially in crunch time. JR won’t be remembered for his defense, but he was active and spry and his athleticism helped make up for lapses.
There are two things that people seem to forget the most about JR Smith in the Finals: that he was the team’s third leading scorer in Game 7 against the team with the greatest regular season record of all-time (and he scored 8 of his 12 points in the second half) AND the greatest play of LeBron’s career, the BLOCK, is one he credits to JR (link below)
"I always tell J.R. and Shump and Kyrie and all our guards, if you see me running, if you can just make the offensive player just change his momentum just a little bit, it’ll give me enough time to track it. It’ll give me enough time to track it down.
Buy me a second. If you look at the play, J.R. swung over top, and Iguodala had to scrunch just a little bit instead of going up and jamming. And he had to scrunch just a little bit, and that gave me the split second to either – and I was ready."
