J.R. Smith Had The Perfect Response When A Reporter Accidentally Called Him ‘Kyrie’

Kyrie Irving made his much anticipated return to action Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers after fracturing his knee in Game 1 of the NBA Finals last spring. Needless to say, everyone was pretty excited about it.

Some folks, in fact, were a little too excited, namely this sideline reporter who, as she was interviewing J.R. Smith, accidentally called him, “Kyrie” before realizing her gaffe and quickly correcting herself. But no matter. Smith took it all in stride and had the perfect response.
