NFT: JR Smith wouldn't blame Knicks for trading him...

and wouldn't want to rely on him on my team, but his ceiling, IMO, is much much higher than JR's and they both have off Court problems. That being said, JR is now 30 and still has the same problems so its a good bet that he's not going to change. Stephenson is still young and getting better as a player, but is also a moron.

Typos and misspellings happen on Twitter. It's quick and everyone's trying to get what they have to say out as fast as possible to the world. J.R. Smith had everyone confused with his use of the letter K instead of the letter C in every tweet he made. It caused an uprising in the community of Denver and on Twitter. People felt like J.R. was substitute the letters to represent an association with the Bloods. Smith quickly deleted his twitter account after the heavy criticism he took because of this.

Since J.R. Smith entered the NBA in 2004, he has been one of the most exciting players in the NBA. According to the Denver Post, Smith repeatedly replaced C’s with K’s while Tweeting. When he was confronted by the media about this letter choice, he responded by shutting down his Twitter account. While playing for the Nuggets, Smith was also known for throwing up gang sign during games.

but wasn't JR Smith known to have gang affiliations or was that blown out of proportion?

No actual proof. Replaces C's with K's on twitter, throws up gang signs in pictures and during games. Shit people do all the time when they aren't in gangs.

Melo was somewhat into that around the time of the "Stop Snitching" video, and he cleaned up his image as well.

are pictures of Derrick Rose throwing up gang signs too. Some of these guys just like "being cool" and aren't actually affiliated beyond "I grew up with gang members so I can pretend I'm with them".

And..that's not a gang sign any more than Rasheed Wallace doing the "3 to the head" sign after making a 3. THe whole team did that in 2012.

must be tough coming up in the burbs of freehold, NJ.

Because they all throw up the suwoop and all that other shit that comes with it. It's really common for people who aren't in gangs to do that shit nowadays.

Pretty sure JR Smith was born and raised in a fairly stable household and never was seriously involved in gang activity.

pretty sure JR Smith is/was what you call a poser and not an actual gang member. Stephen Jackson is/was a legit blood though.

are bad people. I'm sure we've all been put in a situation in which we needed to throw a b*tch down the stairs, no?

not defending Stephenson at all but in fairness the case was dismissed so who knows exactly what happened?

There's other documented evidence of him being a piece of shit. But I'm also not a court of law, so I have no problem passing judgement and 100% believe he threw a pregnant woman down the stairs. I've heard enough stories about him through word of mouth to believe that.

no doubt he's a scumbag. I just meant that given the fact it was dismissed we will never know if he actually committed this specific crime.
