Although 12 years has passed since George Karl was JR Smith’s head coach in Denver, it appears the contentious relationship between the two reached a fever pitch on Wednesday.
While appearing on The Old Man and the Three podcast with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter, Smith took a shot at his former coach, stating, “We didn’t have one out-of-bounds play, my whole time playing for this man.”
In response to that comment, the 2013 NBA Coach of the Year responded by joking that Smith’s marijuana use might have clouded his awareness during Nuggets practices years ago.
