J.R. Smith’s daughter has plenty of reasons to be proud of her father. Her dad is among the best shooters in the NBA and also among the most confident. Smith’s most prominent characteristic is the lack of fear when taking a jump shot, always believing it will fall no matter the odds. He was once quoted in saying he prefers defenders in his face when shooting because otherwise he’d be bored. This kind of spunk has been a big part of J.R.’s game .

On the flip side, his attitude makes Smith polarizing in terms of his value, because while he can hit eight threes in a game, he can also shoot his team out of them. It has also gotten him into trouble a time or two before, like when he hit Jae Crowder in last year’s playoffs. No such altercations have occurred in these playoffs, and for that, Smith’s daughter is content.

We are also proud of Swish, because less J.R. Smith in our lives would be one of the worst NBA-related things in our lives. Who would want that?
