Bengals RB Jeremy Hill Paid Homage To ‘The GOAT’ J.R. Smith After Scoring Against The Browns

As has been the case all year, the Cleveland Browns lost this week. Cleveland played host to Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon and fell to their in-state rival, 23-10. Very little went right for the Browns, but at one point, a Cleveland sports figure got honored during the game.

The bad news was the person who honored said Cleveland sports figure played for the Bengals. Jeremy Hill scored a touchdown in the first quarter and celebrated by dropping to one knee, putting his hands up in a specific way, and looking to the heavens. As any basketball fan will tell you, this celebration was made famous by J.R. Smith, who Hill called “the GOAT”. Smith had a stellar sequence back when he played for the Knicks that ended with a buzzer beater. If you haven’t seen it, or if you just haven’t watched it in a while, you can do so right here.

This isn’t the first time that a football player scored against the Browns in Cleveland and shouted out someone on the Cavaliers this season. Along with this celebration, Odell Beckham Jr. made it a point to show some love to LeBron James when he scored against the Browns a few weeks back.
