JR Smith's Game One Blunder

LeBron James still can’t shake that infamous JR Smith blunder from Game One of the 2018 NBA Finals—when Smith dribbled out the clock with seconds left, sending the Cavs into a 4-0 sweep by the Warriors. Years later, Smith reveals he thought the Cavs were ahead and would get a timeout, not focused on scoring but on avoiding backlash if he missed. He even recalls LeBron looking confused and telling him it was his job to figure it out. The moment, now legendary, still haunts Cavs fans and highlights how one split-second decision under pressure can define an era—even as LeBron moved on to the Lakers that same year.
