J.R. Smith was among the seemingly endless number of celebrities and athletes at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night for the mega-fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. Smith’s Cavs teammate LeBron James was also in attendance, as was soon-to-be teammate Isaiah Thomas (well, possibly soon-to-be).
James and Smith were both with their wives, and like everyone else at the fight, they had to snap some in-arena selfies to remind everyone that they were among the lucky few ringside. Smith had a before-and-after selfie with his wife, and it appeared as though over the course of the evening Smith might have enjoyed some beverages, as one is wont to do at a fight in Las Vegas.

There were plenty to point out Smith’s apparent level of being faded in the comments on his second post, but a couple in particular stood out as teammate Kevin Love — not one of those in the arena — joked that Smith was “drunk as hell boiiii.”
Tristan Thompson also chimed in simply with, “Wounded.”
J.R. Smith is nothing if not on brand, and I’m glad that the couple, who are first-time parents, got a night out at the fight to enjoy themselves and not have to be on baby duty.
