JR Smith Wears Ski Mask And Hood In His Post Game, Claims To Be His Alter Ego

Have a night, Earl! First Team Swish gave us one of the all time highlights, when he decided to stop playing basketball to say whats up to Jason Terry and give his man a wide open layup

And then we get his Alter Ego for the postgame. Acting like the little kid from Big Daddy when he wears the sunglasses and thinks hes invisible. Oh no that wasnt me that allowed that layup, that was my alter ego. Pipeman. The Leader of Team Swish. God bless the reporter trying to play along with JR Smith’s lunacy. Legit talking to him like he’s a little kid. “Oh thats your alter ego? Does your alter ego have a name? Does your alter ego love mommy and daddy? I bet your alter ego is a big boy and is going to eat all his dinner!”

And do you know what this is? Do you know what this entire scene is? Its is a championship ring, personified. JR Smith, in general, is the embodiment of what a championship ring can do to transform your image. Prior to Cleveland, JR Smith was an absolute JOKE. He was banished to China for a time. He toiled away in a Knicks uniform embarrassing himself. Constant bloopers and mental mistakes. Blunders and gaffes. Constant headache.

And then something happened…JR Smith won a ring. And then everything changed. And at the same time, nothing changed at all. Hes still the same old idiot, it just doesnt matter because he’s got that chip. He was a part of Lebron’s ring in his home town. He was a part of bringing the Cavs their first title. Breaking the Cleveland curse. And so now it doesnt matter. If JR Smith gives up a wide open layup because he was dapping it up with the opposition when he was in New York, hes a cancer and an idiot. If he wore a ski mask and dodged reporters questions when he was in Denver, hes a child. And now JR Smith is still an idiot and a child, its just that nobody cares. That ring makes even the dumbest people bulletproof. Pipeman, to the rescue!
