JR and Melo during the Nuggets years
That first week returning from China, JR Smith was on an incredible high. Signing with the Knicks just a tunnel away from where he grew up in Newark, New Jersey. In his first game with the team he was lights out coming off the bench.
What a difference a few short weeks makes and a couple of losses. Not only has JR’s game come back down to a more earthly form, the guard was fined $25K for tweeting a photo of Tahiry Jose. Now he finds out that his former Nugget teammate Carmelo Anthony didn’t even want the Knicks to sign him.
Smith is shooting 38% right now and the Knicks lost at home Sunday to the 76’ers.
