JR Smith hopes Cavaliers teammates can learn from his past mistakes

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- JR Smith threw soup at assistant coach Damon Jones. He had a major gaffe at the end of NBA Finals Game 1 that turned him into an internet meme. He allegedly tossed a fan's cell phone into a construction site in July.
