At number seven for the Denver Nuggets, I have J.R. Smith.

Ever since he left the Mile High City, J.R. Smith has basically become a meme. First it went from his dazed and confused look on the court to a signal, to him walking around after he became a Finals Champion in Cleveland without a shirt for what felt like a year-and-a-half.

Also, who could forget about the disastrous ending to Game 1 of the Finals this past season? Clock winding down, tie ballgame, and Smith gets a chance to possibly kick the ball out to LeBron James to take a shot for the win, or even take it himself.

Instead, he thinks the Cavs had the lead, and dribbles quickly out to half-court, draining out the clock.

Don’t think for a second that social media let him off with that one. What I’m trying to explain by all of this is that Smith is always known for something interesting going on, and he isn’t afraid to let his emotions out on the basketball court. How about his insane athletic ability in Denver, showing off with dunks like this one?

You better believe that got the team and crowd going.
