In a Completely Unbelievable Plot Twist, J.R. Smith Confesses to Nearly Throwing the NBA Finals Because Who Needs a Game Plan?
Gather around, sports fans! Grab your favorite snack or questionable wine choice because we have the latest episode of "What in the Basketball Blunder is This?!" starring none other than J.R. Smith—a man whose series of remarkable misadventures on the court has made him the reigning champion of questionable decisions!
In an exclusive chat on the podcast Iman Amongst Men (seriously, that’s a podcast title that sounds like a therapy session for former athletes), J.R. decided to take us all on a nostalgic trip back to Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals. Just when you thought he was scoring points in life, J.R. takes a detour and starts dribbling towards his own personal Bermuda Triangle of basketball logic. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well.
Picture it: the moment every Cleveland Cavaliers fan has tried to erase from their memory: the score is tied! Time is running out! J.R. pulls down that juicy rebound like he’s about to take the shot of his life. But wait! Instead of shooting like a rational human being, this basketball wizard decides to moonwalk his way towards the opposite end of the court! Yes, you read that right—the man did a full-on “not today, basket!” move instead of going for the win. What was he thinking? Apparently, the score was more of a loose suggestion than something to actually beat!
The results? The Cavaliers lost in overtime, and fans were left clutching their heads in disbelief, wondering if J.R.’s game plan was written in invisible ink or if he had just recently discovered that “basketball” sounds somewhat like “backpack” which was deeply distracting.
As he regaled this tale of epic defeat, fans took to the internet—and by “took to,” I mean they came out with flaming torches, pitchforks, and more memes than you could shake a stick at—claiming J.R.’s brain had gone “full T-Rex” that night. “Could cannabis be the culprit?” they asked. In response, our beloved J.R. had the audacity to defend himself on Shumpert’s podcast, saying, "What people don’t understand about marijuana… it’s all chill vibes.” Yes, J.R., because nothing screams “chill” like losing a championship game while taking an improv class on how to dribble away from victory.
And what’s J.R. up to now, you ask? Well, after his remarkable stint in the NBA, where he likely didn’t read the playbook but owned the “slowest time-killing” off-the-court lifestyle, he decided to go to college and become a scholar. Not just any scholar—he snagged a 4.0 GPA in his first semester. I mean really, nothing says “I appreciate higher education” like showcasing your ability to repeatedly forget about the final score in the most critical moments of your professional sports career!
So here’s to J.R. Smith: proof that even if you bungle critical moments on the court, you can still bounce back into academia, affectionately known as the Nerdy Return of the Wayward Basketball Star. Will he focus on mathematics, perhaps taking a class called "Calculating Victory"? We can only hope. Meanwhile, let’s get ready for the inevitable sequel of basketball blunders—because J.R. is always just one dribble away from greatness and one step away from complete disaster. 🍿🏀
