“I hate this player” Jr Smith of the Lakers blurts out on live TV

Speaking on a podcast, the veteran revealed the only teammate he has never gotten along with in his 17-year career: Sam Dekker. "He spoke with Trump slogans and it didn't suit me, and he tried to keep others down instead of uplifting them. Throughout his career, JR Smith has had a countless number of companions. At 35 years of age and with 16 seasons in the NBA, the veteran has really seen all the colors - and as many he has shown, marking himself as one of the most colorful characters in the league. One would think that in the past he has had numerous quarrels with his teammates, but in reality many have loved him for his madness - starting with LeBron James who turned him to the Los Angeles Lakers for the latest title. There is only one player that Smith just never endured, and his name is somewhat surprising: Sam Dekker. The two were briefly teammates with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018 (now Dekker plays in Turkey), but it was enough for Smith to have a bad memory: "One day he started talking with Trump's slogans on the bus and I didn't it went well for nothing, ”he told the All Things Covered podcast with Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden. “He continually took advantage of the privileges he had always had and the life he had lived. And he was perfectly aware of the circumstances of others, trying to keep them down where he thought they should stay rather than uplift them. And I don't respect this at all ”.
