Date: 1/2/2013
J.R. Smith's tenure in Denver was filled with plenty of ups and downs, and ended with Smith leaving to go play in China during the lockout. The fans in New York embraced him and he retweeted the sentiments of a twitter user that proved it while also taking a semi-shot at Denver. Smith cleared that up, but said he was cool with everyone without mentioning Nuggets coach George Karl. Sounds suspicious.

Date: 1/19/2013
J.R. has proven to us that he will answer any question that anyone asks him on Twitter. After being asked if he thinks the Knicks will win the championship, he responds with the picture above. Nice use of the emoticons. They show his mastery of the art of Twitter.

Date: 12/13/2012
When all else fails, just make a "Your Mom" joke. After becoming Public Enemy #1 for his comments about Kobe, J.R. Smith received some interesting comments from one user by the name of @DrWilsonIceberg. In response to both insults, Smith responded with Mom jokes and that was that.
9. No Love For The Pole

8. Kobe Beef Pt. 1
Date: 2/23/2010
The early stages of J.R. Smith's twitter life must've been a real enjoyable experience with tweets like this one. Smith has played in two playoff series against the Lakers and lost both times. If J.R. believes it, doesn't that make it true?
7. Kobe Beef Pt. 2
Date: 12/12/2012
The Lakers have been awful this season, and everyone has gotten in on the act of making fun of the Lakers. Even J.R. has taken enjoyment in the Lakers struggles by cracking jokes at Kobe's expense. He criticized the Mamba's field goal attempts and the Lakers' record. Luckily Kobe wasn't on Twitter at the time. #COUNTONJR
6. Shots Fired at Kris Humphries
Date: 1/21/2013
Kris Humphries and the Nets might've won the game, but J.R. Smith's response was one of the most slick and epic burns in Twitter sports history. After all those trade rumors, Humphries is still lucky that Kanye didn't have Jay drop him from the team.
5. The Ugly Side of Twitter
Date: 2/9/2013
When you tweet anything with a hint of negativity towards J.R. Smith, you better be careful because your feelings will get hurt. User @PrettyAzzVixen tweeted to J.R. that he was acting too good for his fans. That unleashed the beast in J.R. who absolutely went off making fun of her looks, her lack of followers, and pretty much everything else. So, watch what you say to him.
4. Trukfit
Date: 12/20/2012
Charlamagne Tha God calls himself the "architect of aggravation" for a reason. After Smith tweeted his support for his long-time friend Lil Wayne's clothing line, Charlamagne replied using the famous line from Weezy's verse on "Pop That." J.R. didn't take so kindly to Charlamagne's response, and went as far as to say that he would smack him. Charlamagne said he would sue and we were left with another classic J.R. Smith moment on Twitter. Put the phones away and stop talking about Trukfit for the good of society.

3. #NoSandusky
Date: 8/22/2012
Most celebrities and athletes err on the side of caution when it comes to offensive tweets and hashtags, but that usually doesn't fit J.R. Smith's steez. While he wasn't the only person tweeting the phrase #NoSandusky, he probably was the most recognizable. It takes #NoHomo to a whole new level, and is probably not a phrase that will sit well with everyone.
2. #YouTryinToGetThePipe
Date: 1/26/2013
DMs are never safe from the almighty screen cap. After a female fan DM'd J.R. that she was going to a Knicks/76ers in Philly, some interesting back & forth led to the one of the funniest moments of the year. Smith laughed off the story with an instagram of a wall covered with pipes. We got one question for you...you trying to get the pipe?

Date: 3/8/2012
Most athletes tweet positive things like pictures of their families having fun in wholesome ways. But not Earl. Instead, J.R. prefers to tweet shots of derrieres. A tweet that ran him 25 Gs chief! And he eventually lost Tahiry partially because of twitter.
