Mark Cuban Yells At J.R. Smith, Is Offered His Shoes
The full story is here, but I’ll sum up the sequence of events for you.
- The Nuggets’ J.R. Smith throws an elbow at the Mavericks’ Antoine Wright.
- Mavericks owner Mark Cuban takes umbrage. He is caught on television mouthing an obscenity at Smith, but maintains that he was “cordial.”
- After the game, J.R. Smith offers Cuban an autographed pair of shoes, which Cuban declines.
No idea why Smith, who apparently was trying to make a goodwill gesture, opted not to simply speak with him after the game and clear things up. What is a billionaire like Cuban going to do with a pair of signed shoes? Incidentally, Smith’s gift ranks on the list of “Most Awkward Gifts That J.R. Smith Could Possibly Have Given To Mark Cuban”:
- A copy of Norton Antivirus
- Galoshes
- T-shirt with this screen-printed on front and back
- One’s own shoes, autographed
- Three and a half bags full of landscaping pebbles from Home Depot (one of the bags has a rip in the bottom and was leaking pebbles, but they put some tape over it, but it looks like it still might give way)
- Framed panorama photograph of city neither person has ever been to
- Handwritten book of recipes that you clearly spent a lot of time putting together, but like, who doesn’t know how to make a grilled-cheese sandwich
- Seven-year-old issue of Sports Illustrated with all the pictures of Anna Kournikova crudely torn out of it
- Commentary tracks for season three of “Home Improvement,” ripped from DVD and burned to CD-R
- Flask that reeks of Kool-Aid

2. Smith throws elbow at Wright.
And so on. Fix your order.
At least Smith was more adult-like than Cuban. Wait... who is the kid in this situation?
