JR Smith fined for "repeatedly being an asshole"

[Scholar]

JR Smith used to be such an exciting player to watch in Denver. Everyone knew he had an attitude problem, but he'd make up for it with exciting plays. These days, it doesn't matter about the excitement anymore. He can throw down a one handed reverse alley oop dunk, but it'll be forgotten as quickly as he allows it to be with his low IQ actions on the court.
Knicks fans seriously deserve better than this.

are you crazy?
he might not show it but 50k is a lot of money for anyone who isn't a max player(superstar) in the league.

JR is making about 5.5 mil this season, so they are fining him approximately 1% of his gross salary. For the average person, that might equate to around a $300-800 dollar fine. It would hurt for sure, but if you're not living paycheck to paycheck, it's not going to change your lifestyle.

JR is the best asshole in the league. He does it playfully and comes across midly retarded. Cuz is just straight up an asshole.

Mildy?

Obviously. Youtube it yourself.

None of this is surprising.
He should have been out of the league years ago.
Nugz and Knicks fans used to berate me for that comment.
But he literally should not have a job.
He should still be in jail for vehicular homicide.

I'm a Nuggets fan and I'd agree with you, I was glad he was gone.
When I heard we were thinking of getting him at the start of this season, I was like

Of course he'll keep doing it, 50k ain't nothing to him. I personally don't understand why the NBA.. NFL or any sports organization that pays their athletes millions of dollars even bothers with these nickel and dime fees.

Hell I'd speed everywhere if speeding tickets were $5 bucks.

I was really hoping that that was the wording issued with his fine.

I was hoping that was at least the wording in David Aldridge's Tweet.

Short answer: He's a dumbass.
Long answer: He's a f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking dumbass.

This.

[JohnFreeman]

He is paying $50k for court side seats right now

[MavsSuperFan]

IF he is ever short on cash in the future, he will regret his immaturity.
