LeBron wants JR Smith in three-point contest: I might need to start making that petition
JR Smith to be invited by the NBA?
LeBron James wants his teammate JR Smith to participate in the next three-point contest during the All-Star Weekend in Toronto.
Per ESPN, However, James stumped for another member of the Cavs to join them in Toronto: J.R. Smith. Specifically, he wants Smith — who went 5-for-6 from deep in Cleveland’s 125-99 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday — to be a part of the 3-point shootout for the first time in his 12-year career. “He’s never been invited,” James said of the All-Star Saturday night event. “I think I might need to start making that petition. Us being the No. 1 team in the East, him shooting the ball the way he’s been shooting it, we need to try to get as many guys to All-Star as possible. Guys know in the league he’s an unbelievable 3-point shooter and he deserves an invite.”
