New York (AFP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith hit back Friday at accusations reported in New York media that he choked a 19-year-old man who was heckling him outside a Manhattan pizza shop.
"Don't believe everything you read!" Smith said on Twitter on Friday.
Earlier his lawyer Alex Spiro told Cleveland.com that the accusation "is completely false," and added there was no reason to think the former New York Knicks player would ever be charged.
