J. R. Smith

I like Public School and En Noir.

To play at the Mecca of basketball and the Garden every night, it's probably the greatest decision I've ever made to go to New York.

If someone told me, 'I'm gonna give you $600 million, but I'm going to take your hair'? Take my hair!

I'm always in trouble with Twitter. I don't know what it is. Trying to shake it.

I like to get physical on defense. I like to get up on a guy as much as possible. I actually need to calm down, though.

I feel like my story would've been different had I had a chance to play with Bron when I was 18. I've thought about it countless times.

My parents, my family, that's the biggest inspiration in my life. I've been in a lot of dark spots in my life, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to get out of it, but they are who they are. They followed me. They yelled at me. They screamed at me. They loved me.

My dad is easily one of my biggest inspirations to play this game. To hear people talk bad about me, it hurt me because I know it hurts him, and that's not who I am. I know he raised better, and I know I want to do better.

Everything I do is for my parents and my family. The car is nice, the house is nice, but none of this matters without them. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here. I don't know where I would be, honestly.

There's six of us, and they didn't treat any of us different. They loved us the same. They treated us all the same, and I just want to be like them when I grow up.

My iron game. I get into trouble a lot with my driver, so I tend to hit 3-wood off the tee.

My family is always my priority.

That three-foot putt is tough for me right now! I'm not making too many putts.

I went to Moses Malone's golf tournament in Houston, and I've been hooked ever since.

I know a lot of people don't have their parents in their life - their mother, their father - but I've got the best two you could ask for, I swear.

'Where is your million-dollar shirt?' I'm like, 'It's underneath these $25 Hanes T-shirts I've got on.'

I've been playing this game, fortunately for me, since I was three years old. That's one of the reasons why this game is so special to me.

It's difficult losing, but it's even more difficult when you didn't make a shot. I could see the ball just didn't go your way on an out-of-bounds play or something like that, but when you're just not making them, it's frustrating.

I've had mental errors before while not shooting the ball well and while shooting the ball well, and vice versa. So I can't compound one on top of the other. It's just a matter of getting out of the groove of shooting bad and just staying more locked in.

I've gone on streaks where I haven't shot the ball well here, but I was always making up for it in other areas, so it wasn't as big. It's just a part of the game. I got to do better with it.

Trying to think about the rest of the team over myself or my scoring is something that I never really had to do before.

I used to, in the summertime, spend so much money doing a lot of fun stuff. Now, I'm actually consciously trying to save so we can live how we want to live after basketball. I've even sold a few things.
