Denver Nuggets' J.R. Smith Gets Flack For 'Gang-Related' Tweets, Denies Accusations

Captain Cannon

memo to J.R Smith, Paul Pierce, etc...if you ain't a blood, stop throwing it up everywhere...between this picture here and Pierce against the Hawks a year or two back, shit is getting silly.

RIDAH

yo- alot of the ballers throw that shit up.. so what if he does it aiant shit you have gangbangers in the military banging in iraq! his twitter is his personal life no nba attachment.whats important is them 3 pointers that he consistantly bring to the forefront he shows up like a mutha fucka thats what important!!!

Kaje

You right and that's what he threw up in the picture after hitting a three pointer boy I swear u people are stupid

Come on, Ridah. He represents the NBA whether he likes it or not. His behavior reflects on his employer, as it does for anyone who works for GM, a law firm or a government agency. This is particularly true for someone who is a visible part of the entity. NBA players are certainly visible. If you owned a company, wouldn't you want to make sure the folks who represent your company are not publicly doing things you or, more importantly, your business partners, find distasteful?

bro

How do people not realize that he is holding up 3 fingers on each hand and relate that to the fact that he just made a 3 point shot? seems like a fairly simple connection to make.

....I mean .by lookin at this pik .ok yeah he throwin tha B'z ^....but if he jus hit a 3 point shot...then hmmm maybe he's rep'n tha 3 point shot he jus hit ....also changin C'z ta K'z..hell I do that....So thats jus lyke syain tha makers of mortal Kombat r down wit damuz since they changed tha C to a K.....Kant We jus Be Happy 4 a yung blak man tryin ta make it.....

People who are still gang bangin in 2009 have more serious issues then people reading it on twitter. Wake up you fools, gang bangin is as DUMB as it gets. Grow up and do something with your life already

I swear I wish the government would hire blackwater to wipe out all of the petty thugs that live in this country. What a nuisance they have become. Who cares if he uses K or flashes some blood sign. This is the problem with our gangs today, their limited mental capacity allows them to get upset over this. Please, if you want to call yourself a gang member, have some class and keep it in your own shyte stained part of town.

What I would like to say is this. If you never banged then shut the fucc up. Now if you really bang then you know it is really nothing to be proud of due to the end result in most cases. J.R. knows how to throw up a 3 and that is not it in the pic above. It's also nothing to trip out about either. My point is there are going to be people who find that he is throwing up a gang sign, and if he do not want to be labeled as a gang member then he should not act like one!

GEORGE

He's not from the hood yet he knows that's how bloods spell words. He and all the young black men need to put that gang-shit away. Why would you want to be linked to a group that kills more black men than the klan? Figure out how to help a black kid rise above that nonsense. And stop doing stupid things first then thinking later.

Slab

yea ok jr...nigga you busted

RIDAH

check me out, after shootin 3's people will back it up wit the 3 fingers.. ok make sense. from a fan perspective the 3's that he bring consistanly speaks volume for me. WHAT IS STUPID OR DUMB DID SOMEBODY CALLED IT! is when these ballers get they 5 mins. of shine and can't deliver,they better lose theyselves and stop the petty nick picking the nigga smith got game...PERIOD

YungMall

Nyggaz is actually blowin this outta proportion..And he dont even Bang..Next thing the NBA is gonna start fining them everytime they throw up the 3 Point sign..4 All u NBA DUmmies..Hes throwin Up the 3 Point Sign..Not THE B for Bloods!!

devon

Anybody with a brain knows what JR Smith was doing,that has gang related written all over it,he's a poyser a fake ass banger wanna be why portray yourself as a Blood with the K's homie?Grow up your in the NBA making millions yet you wanna pose as a Blood so these clown ass niggas would think you were tough, Denver go that hard huh?you remember Durant Williams the cornerback from the Bronco0 was killed in a drive by he supposedly banged

Alf Dog

Just another one of these famous dudes playing the part. You want to look, act and write like someone who bangs, you better be down 100 or face the penalities. Tired of these FAKE bangers.

ballers throw that up because they just made a three pointer you idiot. maybe if you knew anything about basketball you would know this is not a gang sign on the court.

Sara

He just made a three point shot! Why wouldn't he hold up the three symbol? Is that gang related? I must be old because I didn't know that. Maybe some of you need to go where gangs are to see the signs gang members actually give. Also, maybe the guy is ignorant and couldn't spell! :-) Who knows? Instead of acting so crazy, some of you need to relax.

Suburban scare tactics if he was a blood he would hace spelled back the right way not bak like he did bloods love the oppurtunity to write ck its means crip killer if he was a crip he would have spelled back bac or bacc this is an example of or cultures over use of communication devices negatively effecting our written communications nothing more but i guess if i need to cause a storm it could put a scare into those who don't know better
