J.R. Smith will go down in history as the guy who forgot the score in Game 1 of the NBA Finals and cost the Cavaliers a victory. On Sunday, exactly two years after that moment, Smith captured attention again when he kicked and punched someone who allegedly busted out the window of his truck.
TMZ obtained a video of the incident.
Protests and riots are going on around the country stemming from the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Smith, who participated in protests in Los Angeles over the weekend, said his truck was parked in a residential neighborhood away from where looting occurred in the area.
Smith defended his actions in an NSFW video posted on his Instagram story.

"One of these motherf—ing white boys didn't know where he was going and broke my f—ing window in my truck," Smith said.
Smith, 34, has only appeared in 11 NBA games since the 2018 Finals in which the Cavs were swept by the Warriors.
