“You trying to get the pipe”? Those are the infamous words of J.R. Smith, courtesy of him sending a DM to a female fan on Instagram while he was with the Knicks. The phrase will likely never stop being associated with him and by now its second nature to think about it anytime his name comes up. One Cavaliers fan decided to take it to another level yesterday, while J.R. was holding an autograph session in Cleveland.

Cavs fan Grant Packo, showed up to the autograph session with a piece of PVC pipe and certified his legendary place among Cleveland sports fans. J.R. seemed to get a real kick out of it but as Chris Yuscavage of Complex pointed out, this wasn’t the first fan to try this. In fact, JJ Morrison, who did the same thing with J.R. back in March, was a little salty that Grant was getting so much attention for something he did months ago. He tweeted “Real original grant packo. Home boy is getting famous over here for stealing my idea”. He followed that up with “I’m so pissed dude. Grant packo is my mortal enemy now” and then eventually just simply saying “bitch”.

Eventually the two got hold of each other on social media and talked it out and had a laugh about it. The J.R. Smith legend continues to grow!
