J.R. Smith will best be known as an eccentric individual whose penchant for bad on-court decision-making cost his team a Finals Game, but he was still a coveted role player for years who won two NBA Championships; Cleveland in 2016 and Los Angeles in 2020.

Smith’s individual highlights include finishing in the top ten four times in 3-Point Field Goals, winning the 2013 Sixth Man of the Year, and earning three consecutive Rookie of the Month Awards in 2005.  He won’t make the Hall, but he is more famous than many who did.

Arriving midway through the 2014/15 season, the enigmatic J.R. Smith came to become a part of LeBron's court, and for the most part, he understood his role on the team.  Smith would be at his best in the 2016 playoffs where he helped Cleveland win their first NBA Championship as their starting Shooting Guard averaging 11.5 Points per Game in the playoffs.  Sadly, Smith will be remembered for his bonehead move in Game 1 of the 2018 Finals where he held onto the ball in the dying seconds thinking that Cleveland had a lead when they were tied.  The Cavs would go onto lose that game and were swept by the Golden State Warriors.
