He was really talented and had a great career. It's unfortunate that so many people only remember him when the spotlight was on him in Cleveland with LeBron. His mistake put a stain on their memories and almost kept him out of the NBA after leaving Cleveland. Most of you know that he managed to get on the Lakers and get a ring to close out his basketball career.
JR still has the most memorable McDonalds All American game I’ve ever seen. Kobe size and athleticism with Steph range. So extremely talented that his solid career feels a little unfulfilled.
Jr literally had everything, crazy bounce, handle and could shoot the 3 very well and was a human highlight reel. I have no clue how his career turned out the way it did. Don't get me wrong he had a solid career but he had everything he needed to be an all star every year
Man…. watching J.R and Kyrie play wing together in Cleveland was really fun to watch. Just knowing that they could reach into their bag of tricks at anytime really kept you on the edge of your seat. Me and my fam would always get together to watch the Cavs whenever we could, and those are memories I will keep with me for the rest of my life. Those were fun times. What a great run.
JR played 2 but was literally a prototype for the next generation of 1 guards. Handles, A jumpshot, could finish inside or in the post, amazing athleticism. Nowadays we see way more of these 1 guards than ever
I remember there was a 10 game stretch when he was on the knicks and Melo was out and Lin was out. That was the best JR we ever seen he hit like a couple game winners and was putting up like 25 a game
J.R Swish was always my favorite Shooting Guard along with Kobe Bryant. Anytime he got contested I would yell for him to shoot the ball, because he always made some crazy ass contested shots. Dude is still my favorite dunker to this day as well. Happy I got to watch his and Kobe's entire Nba careers. 💯 🔥
My favorite player of all time cuz I absolutely LOVE the shots he used to hit I’m a better contested shooter then open cuz this nigga jr made me wanna make contested shot every shot I love defense on me cuz ik ima make it more then wide open
Cause noone really knew about JR swish until he won with lebron on the cavs. He was kept out of the spotlight cause he partied with shumpert a lot in nyc under melos shadow and played high and hungover. He was a lowkey bucket getter like monta ellis or jamal crawford or even james harden when he was on okc. You should listen to his song jr swish lol. Shits funny
I thought he could have been a superstar if he truly focused on his game. He could have been a superstar but jr never did ever take the game a serious as everybody else did. The athleticism the creativity he was big he was truly one of a kind and he came out of high school please remember Jr smith,do not get it twisted this guy was actually an athlete.
Jr used to dunk with that same flare as kobe! That one around the 7:15 mark is just sick! Even though he was never a superstar jr had a hell of a pro career! Champion and got to play with quite a few HOF’s and even had his stint over seas where that league was at his mercy 😅
That deep shot he had early on vs the celtics at the angle of release was the best ive ever seeen at tht distance... I hope he comes back .. got to the bulls jr..We'll be waiting.
3:15 Bruh! 7:10 That's a Dunk Contest Dunk! 8:41, 10:56 Lol, 12:16 The Man Was A Shooter!!! There alot of filler early and alot of good ones half way through. Wanted to see more Nuggets JR.

Bet your favorite player don’t have highlights as exciting as JR. don’t y’all ever talk down on this man again he was dam near a basketball god in his prime.
His vert was all ready dampening by the time he reached NYC. Impressive but Sad. If he was in his prime's prime he would be more appreciated on the Cavs :/
Wish coaches utilized him more earlier in his career even tho he was always around melo but I feel like If he was number 1 option he could of been multiple time all star
It’s unfortunate the last big memory of jr will be the shot clock in Cleveland. My brother is a nuggets fans so I always watched jr. he could have easily won 6th man. He wasn’t always consistent but when he was on he was exciting
Dude is clearly superb and talented. It is funny that people say he was inconsistent. You know your capping if you think that's fact. The support he had was the one inconsistent not him, he never had a team that fully relied on his capabilities like how Melo had in his career. Only if he had more opportunities to shine, dude would be lit unstoppable and be called as superstar.
Never noticed that Swish almost always jumps off his right leg as a right handed dunker. Everything he does is unorthodox. He was different man. Coaches hated him fans loved him.

SP WITH DA TOP TIER MUSIC CHOICE ! YOU AINT GETTING AWAY WITH IT BRO, WE LOVE IT‼️‼️
If this is all you ever saw of JR you'd think he's a Hall of Famer. Looks like he's single handedly keeping the Knicks relevant
They had carmelo and amare stoudemire and linsanity
Jr was incredible
Yall got jr messed. They ain't have stoudamire and them in Denver's. Jr was a beast in his prime. Lebron watered him down
he is a hall of famer
@@quantrellbishop9263 Jeremy Lin had a few good games in New York and amare was ight but the 2 stars was jr and melo
JR is like that one guy who is inconsistent on normal shots but when it matters most he cant miss
When it matters most he doesn't know the score
@@metronba8858 shut up
@@t.kgames5874 no that was good
@@t.kgames5874 I fuck with jr tho he is nasty asf especially in his Denver days
Great description of his game. Appreciated his game since his N.O. Hornet days.
perfect jumper, boundless athleticism, smooth handles, had potential to literally be the GOAT
not enough BBIQ
Relax
The goat? Nah bro. I fw JR but he’s not in that convo
A lot of players do but don’t have the mentality, coaching, intelligence, and intangibles to get there
@@jamestaylor3174he’s saying he had potential to be not he is
he dunks so effortlessly
Damn sho do in shoot dam good also bruh was underrated

In 20 years people will forget about the finals indecent. Then he’ll get his respect.
Let’s be honest , the cavs had no chance in that 2018 series

i just he just didn’t want it enough.
He was blessed with so much talent, but he wasn’t hungry enough
Consistency my guy
His jumpshot is soooo smooth asf
man, I hella love JR bro. specially his NYC years, he was like a god. this man is just so fun to watch.
damn, JR really hits impossible shit.
Curry looked at these half court shoes and then learned how to do it
I swear bro shot better when contested
JR was really good, man. Admittedly inconsistent overall but his peak form is underrated.
Agreed
I miss the Old Jr smith when he is on his Prime🔥

This is hands down the best jr tape out 🔥🔥🔥preciate this one bro !!!
Quinn Griffin wouldn’t be possible without you real 1ns. You’d probably mess with the other videos too, so check them out if you can💯
His shot is one of the Smoothest In the NBA
JR played 2 but was literally a prototype for the next generation of 1 guards.
Handles, A jumpshot, could finish inside or in the post, amazing athleticism.

Jr played 2 was pretty for play love

this reel is crazy !!!!!
OG Drip Swag. Straight out of high school 😉
“He’s very good at the game of basketball” -Keyon Martin 🤣
JR always had the best 13 pt games you ever seen
😂😂
Felt like 25

Why does no one ever talk about his highlights??? This is my first time seeing most of these and they are crazy

He was a lowkey bucket getter like monta ellis or jamal crawford or even james harden when he was on okc. You should listen to his song jr swish lol. Shits funny
Getting to watch JR on the nicks while I was in high school was unreal. Will always be my favorite knick for how fun and controversial he was lol
fav player*
To this day my favorite player to watch highlights of. Makes him look like the greatest of all time
Ill never forget that game 1 against the hawks in the ecf broke my heart that game 😂💯
Most underrated Playa ever
JR is stupid athletic to have a J that nice. It’s a rare combo
Jr swish will always be special
i like how most of his highlights were either him playing against the cavs or on the cavs
Jr with Kobe's mindset would be the scariest shit ever
JR is a hooper. You can tell when guys just have a natural talent and adoration for the game and JR has an unbelievable amounts of both.
You can't say whatever you want about JR, but the man was clutch af. He can't miss when the clock is at less than a min
I thought he could have been a superstar if he truly focused on his game. He could have been a superstar but jr never did ever take the game a serious as everybody else did. The athleticism the creativity he was big he was truly one of a kind and he came out of high school please remember Jr smith,do not get it twisted this guy was actually an athlete.
4:30 nahh that was too cold. The fade away out of bounds then sitting down in a court side seat 😭😭🔥
Jr used to dunk with that same flare as kobe! That one around the 7:15 mark is just sick!
Even though he was never a superstar jr had a hell of a pro career! Champion and got to play with quite a few HOF’s and even had his stint over seas where that league was at his mercy 😅
he is one of best players i had saw in the sport and one of my favorite also!
thanks for the vid bro i was looking and there is no newer vids
By far favorite knicks player. But hit my favorite shots on the cavs
That deep shot he had early on vs the celtics at the angle of release was the best ive ever seeen at tht distance... I hope he comes back .. got to the bulls jr..We'll be waiting.
We all love JR
NBAの中で、1番好きなprayer！
シュートフォームが綺麗。
JR kick game in the HOF for sure
Damn. My guy just lacked that independent star factor or he woulda been way higher in the ranks. Solid solid ass player
Daym.. I really miss JR playing in the nba
I can’t disagree with you there
If he put the time in when he was young he could have been an all star player
Once a Laker always a Laker to me 🥰💜💛 and ❤️🖤💚 forever#love you Kobe and GiGi 💜💛
Daaamn.. so underrated! I love JR!! Good o days
2x CHAMPION and a walking BUCKET, put some respect on JR’s name
Seems like a smaller dude, but he’s got so much explosiveness and power
NY JR was different beast
JR SWISH livin up to his name dawg. this man could not hit anything but SWISH.
Bro contest the shots in the three point contest and jr takin the whole thing easily
Awesome man!
If J.R wasn't on the henny all the time, he'd probably be a top 3-5 role player of all time.
That 360 layup is mind boggling.
I said a long time ago that Jr was just as talented as Kobe early in their careers, it's the mentality that was different
3:15 Bruh! 7:10 That's a Dunk Contest Dunk! 8:41, 10:56 Lol, 12:16 The Man Was A Shooter!!! There alot of filler early and alot of good ones half way through. Wanted to see more Nuggets JR.

So they won't set a NBA reccc... YES THEY WILL!!! These were some dope JR highlights
Thanks Jr
This man could have been All Star lot of years, but he didnt work hard and he didnt take basketball as serious as others did
Jr Smith. The kobe of non ball dominant role players
goated vid, can't cap.
Bet your favorite player don’t have highlights as exciting as JR. don’t y’all ever talk down on this man again he was dam near a basketball god in his prime.
Rory be ballin on the courts
If somebody would’ve made him the centerpiece of a team, he would’ve been even more unfucking believable. Js.
His vert was all ready dampening by the time he reached NYC. Impressive but Sad. If he was in his prime's prime he would be more appreciated on the Cavs :/
I think Jr Smith could be an all star if coaches give him more role
Wish coaches utilized him more earlier in his career even tho he was always around melo but I feel like If he was number 1 option he could of been multiple time all star
Young JR and even Cleveland JR always gave me Jamal Crawford vibes
Ridiculous high ceiling with the right coaching and people around him
The most underrated sg I’ve whitnessed
Jr was hitting heat checks, devastating ankles in dunking like his life depended on it.
It’s unfortunate the last big memory of jr will be the shot clock in Cleveland. My brother is a nuggets fans so I always watched jr. he could have easily won 6th man. He wasn’t always consistent but when he was on he was exciting
One of the most underrated
literally more athletic dame. if his career didn’t start so early.. they hated him for all the things they love now
This dude is 2x better than the current Ja Morant.
Dude is clearly superb and talented. It is funny that people say he was inconsistent. You know your capping if you think that's fact. The support he had was the one inconsistent not him, he never had a team that fully relied on his capabilities like how Melo had in his career. Only if he had more opportunities to shine, dude would be lit unstoppable and be called as superstar.
This was in my recommended
That Miami reverse dunk was 🔥🔥🤢
Prime of jr smith
Dynamic player and talent
Never noticed that Swish almost always jumps off his right leg as a right handed dunker. Everything he does is unorthodox. He was different man. Coaches hated him fans loved him.
Yeah I noticed that too, I’ve never seen someone so good off their wrong leg
Sick clips
Ryan Merton thanks random guy called Ryan
He had the perfect jump shot for sure
The most beautiful jumpshot ever
For sure!!😊
I always said This dude reminds me of eddie jones type of player
Da fact he did most of this shit high is crazy 😂
Ppl really forget about prime jr
The best SHOT CREATOR!
7:10 was when lebron knew he would take his talents and JR back to Cleveland 😂
He reminded me of the same playing style like d rose
Someone sign the man
3:37
That was like a mini movie
I love JR
