J.R. Smith was talking about golf on ‘SportsCenter’, settle down everyone

No, he’s not hitting that kind of green.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

J.R. Smith made an off-handed comment about “hitting the green” and it quickly became a thing.

“It’s great right now, but it’s not as green as that green I’m gonna hit tomorrow.”

Immediately everyone assumed Smith was talking about weed.

He was talking about golf!

Smith loves golf, like — really loves golf. And by all accounts he’s seriously good.

Take a spin around his Instagram account and you’ll find tons of shots of him at the course.

He also follows every tournament and congratulates the winner.

Have fun on the course, Smith, while you wait for your next opponent. Y’all earned it.
