J.R. Smith’s soup-throwing incident certainly has caused some chuckles in the NBA world.
If you’re just catching up, Smith was suspended for a game after reportedly throwing a bowl of soup at Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Damon Jones. The nature of the incident — particularly the choice of food — was the source of a lot of amusement after the story broke.
Enter Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who critiqued Smith’s tactics.
“I would have chosen a more hearty entree,” Kerr said, via Anthony Slater of the Athletic. “Would have had a better sort of chance to create whatever the idea was.”
We never did find out just how effective Smith’s soup toss was. Successful or not, Kerr probably has a point here. If not done properly, the soup might have a hard time reaching its target.
