"J.r Smith..."

J.r Smith (Earl Smith JR) is my favorite basketball player He was born september 9, 1985. He went to Saint Benedict Preparatory School and after high school he went straight to the NBA. He was drafted to the New Orleans Hornets in 2004.In his rookie season, he averaged 10.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Smith participated in the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Competition in 2005 finishing behind Amar'e Stoudemire and the eventual winner, Josh Smith. On July 13, 2006, the Hornets formally traded Smith to the Chicago Bulls. He was again traded on July 19, 2006 to the Denver Nuggets. On February 10, 2009, Smith was chosen to replace the injured Rudy Gay in the 2009 Slam Dunk Contest. On April 13, 2009, Smith scored a career -high 45 points on 13 of 22 shooting, as part of a 118-98 win over the Sacramento Kings. He made a franchise-record 11 three pointers during the game, which was one shy of tying the NBA record. On April 8, 2010, in a game against the Lakers, Smith drained 4 three pointers in the 2nd quarter alone to break the Nuggets' record for most career three pointers made. He finished the 2009-10 season with the second most three pointers in the league coming off the bench as the sixth man. J.r Smith can be an All Star once he is able to be consistent. It will soon come along for him.
