Playing on the same team as LeBron James comes with an extra level of scrutiny, as those teams are consistently expected to win an NBA championship every year. Nobody knows how tough it is more than JR Smith.
While appearing on Game Theory with Bomani Jones, Smith explained what it was like to play on Lebron’s team.
“It’s a gift and a curse playing with Bron,” he said. “I love Bron to death and I love playing on his team because for me, I feel like I thrive more under the pressure, but a lot of guys don’t like it.”
