Today is JR Smith's birthday and I wanted to revisit a specific game or moment in Smith's very unique career for this special day. The obvious choices for games were either his playoff career-high night (28 PTS with 8 3-pointers) in GM1 against the Hawks<\/a> or when he broke the Knicks 3-point record with 10 3-pointers<\/a> (NBA record 22 attempts) in 2014. If I was going to go with a memorable moment then either his \"you trying to get the pipe<\/a>\" tweet or maybe something about his shoelace fetish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nah, instead I'm going to go with a game from his 2011 adventures in China. An adventure that included everything from game-winners, a \"season-ending\" knee injury, family vs fans fights, unexcused shopping and one\u00a0Wilt-worthy\u00a0performance: 52 points, 22 rebounds, 11 3-pointers & 7 steals<\/p>\n
