JR Smith is one of the greatest shooters of all time. The 2013 NBA Sixth Man of the Year is known to shoot from anywhere on the court with ease. He is the go-to-guy to shoot 3s in the clutch on any team that he is part of.

On April 13th, 2009, JR had one of the best shooting performances of his carer when he dropped 45 points on a 11-18 shooting from behind the 3-point line in a blowout win against the Sacramento Kings while playing for the Denver Nuggets. JR who came off the bench was +23 on the game.

JR played a key role when the Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors in 2016, after coming back from down 1-3 to win his first championship. That season, he averaged 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in the playoffs.
