J.R. Smith took his talents to South Beach. But unlike Wade and LeBron, who are still using those talents in basketball jerseys and performing in the NBA playoffs, J.R. Smith just went out and got himself arrested. What crazy shenanigans did one of the league’s most entertaining bench players get into?
Well, he wasn’t carrying a valid driver’s license.
Knicks guard J.R. Smith was arrested last night in Miami for not having a valid driver's license.

J.R. Smith, currently playing as a guard for the New York Knicks, is remembered by many NBA fans for his 2007 car accident, where his passenger Andre Bell did not survive the crash. Luckily, this latest fiasco involving J.R. Smith and an automobile involved no casualties, and no real violence either.
