A J.R. Smith fan won a video game bet, sent Smith half the cash winnings

Won’t undo a $25,000 fine, but it’s not nothing!

Thanks to J.R. Smith’s love of social media/lack of discretion for this gem:

A few things:

1. So, yeah, there’s the guy’s full name. Again: Lack of discretion.

2. With a postscript this great, I’d really like to see the full content of the “long ass letter.”

3. Money may not be a thing to Smith, but he did lose a bunch recently, so it doesn’t hurt!

4. I haven’t written a letter in a while. Is it customary to close written correspondences with hashtags now?

5. I think that guy deserved all $120. He outscored the entire MIAMI HEAT with one erratic shooter? Either his friend is terrible at 2k13 (and similarly terrible at betting) or our letter-writer here has a gift.

This is a nice thing that happened.
