A basketball fan in New York City is claiming JR Smith shoved and choked him at a pizzeria in the city after the fan reminded JR that the Knicks traded him away. The incident allegedly happened last week when the Cavs were in town to play the Knicks.

In a complaint filed with the NYPD, Brown claims Smith refused to take a picture with his group and an altercation ensued.
As Smith walked away, Brown shouted to the NBA star “That’s why New York kicked you out, yo!”
Brown claims Smith then slammed him against a wall and choked him with his hands. Brown filed the report 3 days after the incident.
We spoke with cops who say Brown had no visible injuries at the time he filed the report.
As for Smith, his lawyer issued a statement claiming the allegations are “completely false.”
Personally I believe JR would be smarter than to do something like that in public. The fact the fan waited three days to report what happened also sounds pretty sketchy. Crazier things have happened though.
