J.R. Smith’s Daughter Accidentally Throws Major Shade At Her Dad In An Interview

J.R. Smith made it. He got all the way to the NBA Finals without getting kicked off the team. Me, you, everyone else, and his daughter are super proud of him for it. Just watch:

Riley Curry, this is not. Demi Smith is no goodie sideshow, saying charmingly naive things for the adoring camera; no, she is a pragmatist, attune to her father’s wily ways. His propensity for the pipe, his untying of opponents’ shoelaces, his occasional on-court violence. Daddy’s got a jumper that comes and goes, and the only reason most of his teams have dealt with his antics is because of how well it goes when it goes. Demi, hardened by the spectacle of his ceaseless folly, has come to calculate that such a man may at any time become expendable in the über-competitive league he plays in.

Maybe she is also aware that Smith has not played terribly well in these Finals, logging his only notable performance with a 20-point showing that occurred mostly within garbage time of a 120-90 blowout, a Game 3 win for the Cleveland Cavaliers that was over earlier than usual. After Game 6 Thursday night, regardless the outcome, expect Demi to be going over her stat sheets with her father, and pulling up SportVU for a more focused look at how he can do better.
