JR Smith is making a comeback after a year and a half. You may name it a sabbatical or hibernation or just a lay-off from the Cavs, but it is soothing to see his revival. The 34-YO shooting guard is delighted that he is back with his former teammate LeBron James, with whom he won his only NBA title. Los Angeles Lakers is his new home.
Smith has an average of 12.5 points per game with 41.9% FG. The prodigy is looking forward to seeing himself playing in rotation as the season kicks off against LA Clippers. But before that, he is having the time of his life in Orlando Bubble. He is dropping videos from the inside and also giving interviews.

Lakers’ studio host Allie Clifton took an interview with JR and asked him some hilarious questions. Here you go!
#1 What are the funniest activities you do and who is the funniest?
Smith bursts into laughter and says, “To me probably Dion [Waiters]…Dion is hilarious.” Now, this appears a surprising answer because JR and Dion had shared a past of trash-talking against one another (obviously when Smith played for Cavs and Dion played for the Heat).
#2 The thing you forgot to pack?
JR laughingly says, “We’ve got a great laundry”. But he kept only seven pairs of underwear, which he believes are too few, given their schedule of play and how often he needs to change.
And hereon the answering gets tougher…
#3 Who is the best dancer?
To answer this, JR had to use some concentration and probably rewinding the tapes of all the dance moves in his mind. He finally answers, mentioning LeBron James, “It’s a dance-off between him and Dwight. Dwight loves dancing.”
#4 Who is the best trash talker?
He takes no time in answering this one. He exclaimed, “JaVale McGee oh my god!” Is this why he is a Lemonhead?
#5 Who is the best gamer?
First things first, JR Smith takes no time in calling himself the best gamer in the entire Lakers line-up. He enjoys his time playing NBA 2K with Quinn Cook. We believe Anthony Davis would be excited to join them too. They frequently play the evergreen Call of Duty.
