NBA: JR Smith Says He Wants To Do What With The Knicks This Season?

The words leader and JR Smith typically do not get used in the same sentence. Smith tends to come across as the stereotypical self-serving athlete who is only worried about getting his on the court and not much else.

It seems he may be maturing as he has been in the NBA for quite some time now and is ready to focus on being a leader on this young Knicks team. Hit the jump.


(Video) Sports: Sportscenter Anchor Throws Shot At ESPN & Bosses

ESPN truly has become a glorified TMZ, instead of a sports news network. People in the sports industry tend to look down on sites that mix gossip and pop culture with sports, but it seems ESPN has taken the reigns when it comes to that. More and more of the airtime on Sportscenter is filled with nonsense and “what if” scenarios, instead of actual sports coverage. Apparently one of the anchors, Neil Everett does not really appreciate the lack of coverage something important can get compared to the hours of wondering if Johnny Manziel will start, or the sickening coverage of Tim Tebow a couple years ago.

(Photos) NFL: Interesting! NFL Players Speak On Most Overpaid Player, What Player They Would Fight & More

A secret poll conducted of a small group of NFL players from random teams gave us some insight as to how the players themselves look at things. They know when someone is being overpaid and they also know when someone deserves every penny of their huge contract. Many players think the Broncos will get over the hump and win the Super Bowl this season, and many of those same players speak on which player they would never want to get into a fight with. The questions are pretty good and give some interesting answers about questions even fans would have. One thing is clear, everyone respects Peyton Manning and not so many people respect Jay Cutler.
