We all watched J.R. Smith dribble away his chance to be a hero for the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, inexplicably not attempting to score or signal for a timeout in the final seconds of a tie game.
The result was the Cavs wasted the final 4.7 seconds of regulation, the game went into overtime and the second-chance Warriors thumped Cleveland 124-114.
Unfortunately for Smith, his gaffe just dumped his name into a group of dubious decision-makers already on a list of sports’ biggest blunders.
