J.R. Smith Fires Back at Kris Humphries with Hilarious Tweet
Jr Smith was anything but automatic during the New York Knicks' 88-85 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Martin Luther King Day.
Smith attempted 19 shots in nearly 38 minutes of action, misfiring on 12 of his tries. Over the game's final 30 seconds, he surrendered the go-ahead basket to Joe Johnson, then missed a potential game-tying three at the buzzer.
But that didn't stop him from connecting on a vicious blow on Brooklyn's KrisHumphries via Twitter.
Humphries first took to the social media platform after the game to stir up what's quickly growing into one of the league's most intriguing rivalries:
The reserve forward did his part to push the Nets (25-16) to 11-2 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo. The former starter totaled 11 points and 13 rebounds in under 28 minutes of work.
Of course, Humphries' performance neither impressed Smith, nor stopped him from delivering his own parting blow:
Ouch.
For those of you living under a rock for the past couple years, Smith was flaunting the performance of Kim Kardashian's current beau, rapper Kanye West, in the face ofKardashian's soon-to-be ex-husband, Humphries.
In terms of fame and fortune, replacing Humphries with West is like trading in a used Honda for a tricked-out Maybach. If not for the Kardashian connection, I can safely say the two would have never appeared in the same sentence.
But that probably won't bother Humphries too much, especially if he's able to rake in some of the reality mogul's earnings in a lengthy divorce settlement.
And Smith's tweet probably holds similar weight, considering Brooklyn's victory trimmed New York's Atlantic Division lead to just one game.
Hopefully for Smith, the loss redirects his attention to the practice court so he and his Knicks could rediscover the "Power" that helped them embark on such a strong start to the 2012-13 season.
Without a renewed focus, perhaps this game marked the beginning of when it "All Falls Down" for Smith and his teammates.
