Michael Jordan Tells JR Smith While Golfing: “ You Had A Good Career, It Wasn’t A Great One”

[Ozymandeas]

No lies were told

Was considered underrated early in his career, developed into a sharpshooting role player who could get hot but unreliable

For most casual fans his legacy is "that nikka that cost lebron game 1 in 2018"

I remember when they used to compare JR to Kobe

He underachieved

possibly the dumbest player to have elite shooting and elite athletic ability.

Plenty of guys like that. He’s probably the most successful of that group. Gerald Green was another one.

Late in his career, Gerald Green was a shooter like JR, but because of the D'antoni system he only shot in certain spots which made him more limited. Also played a lot less minutes.

JR's stats are probably better but just watching them, they had very similar games towards the end. JR would heat up, but Gerald seemed more consistent, and he'd hype the team up, very fiery player.

Ain’t no nikka gonna have a better career than me

I disagree. They’re shooting numbers are similar across the board. JR just had better playing opportunities.

Also the nikka they went without a shirt from the end of the Finals to the parade

I find that to be a compliment

MJ could've hit him with a "who are you?"
"What team you play for? "

Should have never backed out of his UNC recruitment and then MJ would have been his brother for life
