JR Smith calls Lance Stephenson a clown on Instagram
It has only been four games, but JR Smith’s already sick of Lance Stephenson.
After his Cleveland Cavaliers beat Stephenson’s Indiana Pacers on Sunday to tie their playoff series at two games apiece, Smith reacted to a post by popular Instagram account House of Highlights that detailed Stephenson’s antics.
The former Sixth Man of the Year Smith left a comment on the post that said “straight clown” with an emoji in place of the actual word “clown.”

While Stephenson is averaging a decent 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game for the series, his primary role for the Pacers has been that of an agitator, especially towards LeBron James. His act can definitely border on jester-like at times, but you have to admit that it has worked to an extent.
