Hey Look, It’s J.R. Smith In China!

Seriously guys, if there's any justice in the world, sometime soon we'll reach the tipping point where NBA beat reporters all decide to stop covering the NBA lockout, move to China, and just give us daily transmissions from the life and times of J.R. Smith playing pro basketball in China. Like this, from Sheridan Hoops:

↵↵He wanted to send a Twitter update, but encountered problems because Twitter is blocked in China. At last, he found a way to tweet through his Blackberry: “Dear China, the fact that u won’t let me work my Skype on my desktop or twitter is really pissing me off.” Then another one: “Not even YouTube wow this is ass!”

↵↵Also: “For his relocation, Smith brought about 20 pieces of luggage, and the club arranged a room especially for those bags.” ... With any luck, this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful journey to self-discovery that the internet will let us share with Shimisi, himself.
