Guest N4S Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Nuggets guard J.R. Smith's Twitter page is drawing controversy because his updates have been written in a way that associates him with the Bloods street gang. According to the Denver Post, words that would have a "C" in them are replaced with "K." If a word has both in them, then the "C" is removed altogether. "Those are still little messages that are being transcended back to some of the neighborhoods," Rev. Leon Kelly, executive director of Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives in Denver, told the Post. "Not to say in no way is he promoting a gang. But people got to understand that a lot of these kids come from gang neighborhoods. Their friends are still involved in doing what they do. Just because one was able to get out of that lifestyle, many of them don't forget where they come from." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60961/20090804/jr_smiths_twitter_page_drawing_controversy/ I think it's just because he is a typical uneducated NBA player that doesn't know how to spell properly.

Camby23Land Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 JR Smith is such a thug, between his unprofessional gang signs, trash talking, cheap play, and trouble off the court I don't see how anybody could be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
