J.R. Smith’s unfiltered honesty on Twitter does make some in the Knicks organization squirm.
J.R. Smith goes underground on game nights, preferring to ride the subway from his uptown apartment to Madison Square Garden. A handful of commuters recognize the extravagantly tattooed straphanger, but mostly Smith is ignored as the train rumbles toward Penn Station.
“Most people find it hard to believe it’s me,” Smith says, “so they don’t say anything.”
Smith, of course, is not your average working stiff. He is the only one on the train with the job description as a high-energy, highly unpredictable shooting guard for the New York Knicks. On the subway, however, everyone is equal and that makes the kid from New Jersey feel like a typical New Yorker.
