JR Smith - Sharpshooter
Спорт
JR Smith is an NBA champion. 2013’s Sixth Man of the Year is widely known as a conscienceless gunner, but this past season was by far his best. He started every game he played (77 in the regular season, 21 in the playoffs), and posted career highs in both attempts AND makes from three point land (204-510). His 204 made 3’s were good enough for 7th in the league, ahead of guys like JJ Redick, CJ McCollum, Kevin Durant, and Kyle Korver.
JR Swish, as he’s known to some, is 17th on the NBA all-time 3 point leaders with his 1,679 makes. You don’t get to that kind of number without really being able to shoot the ball, and JR has never been one to shy away from a shot, whether he’s open, or there’s a few defenders draped on him. As you’ll see from this video, JR doesn’t care how difficult the shot seems to be, because he has supreme confidence in his ability. In 2009, he hit 11 3 pointers (one shy of the NBA record) en route to a career best 45 points, so he knows exactly what he’s capable of. Swish is definitely a highlight maker, and a tough shot taker, so I wouldn’t necessarily have a player watch him to learn to play, but he’s so much fun to watch that I just had to make a video.
These aren’t all 3 pointers, because to have excluded some of his crazy stepbacks would’ve been a disappointment, but nearly all of these are from this past season. The singular exception is the end of the video. I genuinely didn’t know which shot to end it with, but I remembered a moment from last season that seemed fitting, so the final shot is from the 2014-15 season, but everything else was from JR’s championship run this year.

JR was the perfect archetype of a LeBron teammate. Great shooter, and never ever hesitated to shoot. LeBron could flip the ball to him, with 2 defenders on him, feet facing away from the ring, and he'll still take and probably make it.

Kyrie too, Bron would let the boy just cook or run stuff where their both involved and either way good luck guarding. Throw in Love getting his, Thompson as a solid defender/lob threat and you get the magic of that cavs starting 5. Plenty of talent but not to where it gets tricky like some "superteams", a decent bench but nothing spectacular, it was their chemistry and resolve that took them places

Jr smith balance is crazy asf
His jumper is so clean. Love how he always steps back when he lands from the jump. Lebron is always dishing to this man out on the wing!
JR the type of guy to get perfect releases on D-F quality looks in 2k and in real life lol
this dude shoots better when his shots are contested or when he does crazy shit like fadeaway threes or step back off balance lol

2:29 I went to that Cavs-Suns game. I jumped out of my seat when he hit that!!!
Don't forget he could slam
If the play doesn't work just pass the ball to jr
The best 3-point shooter progression of all-time. Coming out of H.S this guy couldn't shoot at all. Now he's among the all-time 3pt made. Incredible progression
Easily in the top five most beautiful strokes I've ever seen. This is why his teammates call him "Swish".
I miss this jr
final conclusion: jr is caaaassshh from the right corner. lol. this was absolutely incredible. wow.
His jump shot form is so silky smooth and PRETTY!!!!!!
All those tough shots yet all of them nothing but net. Unbelievable

5:10 that stop on a dime is just absolutely gorgeous i’ve replayed it so many times
JR Smith was so cold!
J.R, the corner specialist
He does that steback turn around move so well. Everytime you see it, you know a highlight is coming.
Perfect shooting form
So pure..
JR was a menace. He went from being a baller to becoming a real threat for teams cause of how good he was playing at his full potential.
Wish he was like this now lol he’s choking in the finals
Fearless shooter
watching the ball go through the net from his jumoshot is so satisfying to watch
Great vid :) what an epic destiny, finally, for JR ! I'm very happy for him (from France).
Congratulations on blowing up dude! I always said your videos deserved more views. Keep up the great work.
I watch this every few months. Miss my dawg; always gon be my 6th man.

J.R. smith makes an impossible 3. commentators- "ooooh james with the beautiful pass"

THIS JR BEST HIGHLIGHT VIDEO
JRs 8 points early in the second half were the most overlooked aspect of game 7. The team was struggling and GS looked poised to start opening the game up. With this guy in form, no team can beat the Cavs. Rest up and come back strong!
