One thing Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith does not lack is confidence.
Even if Smith takes a bad shot, he still believes in his abilities, and has faith that it’ll go in. That’s what happened during Monday’s game against the Spurs, but it backfired on him.
Smith attempted a contested stepback three-pointer from the corner, which probably wasn’t a good idea, but he left his hand up for emphasis because he clearly thought it was going through the hoop.
Unfortunately for him, it got none of the hoop, and careened off the side of the backboard instead.

Normally we would say Smith will probably learn a lesson after prematurely celebrating that brick, but we know that’s not the case, and he’s not going to switch things up anytime soon.
