JR Smith has publicly farewelled LeBron James, a full 21 days after LeBron actually left Cleveland.
The farewell post was then widely characterised – fairly or not – as a classic bonehead move from JR.

The majority of the league’s players, of course, reacted when the news first broke on July 2.
However, JR’s post did at least get some love from LeBron himself.
Others, meanwhile, were far less kind.
Poor old JR.
The man just can’t win.
Unless of course, it’s the 2016 Finals.
