There’s no shortage of legendary scorers in league history, with LeBron James topping the list of most prolific players this season. But a former player has decided to put a big wind to the Laker and other big names when it comes to declaring the best of all!
If his chances of lifting the league title a fifth time are in jeopardy in 2022-23, with the Nuggets leading 2-0 in the conference finals, LeBron James will have less of a consolation prize in the event of failure. After all, the Lakers winger managed to dethrone Kareem Abdul-Jabbar campaign as the most prolific scorer of all time, a feat long deemed unachievable.
As a result, some do not hesitate to consider the Chosen One as the best all-timer in this area, while others support the former pivot or even Michael Jordan, another very serious customer. But for JR Smith, the one who can consider this unofficial title as his own is someone else, namely an active player and with whom he has won a title in the past:
He’s the best scorer I’ve ever seen. Offensively, there’s nothing he can’t do with either hand. He can shoot with his left hand. He can shoot with his right hand. He can shoot at mid range. He can take three-point shots, he can pass reception, dribble out. It has the best handle we have ever seen. He is by far the best under the basket finisher we have ever seen. There is not even a debate on the subject.
There are also his spin-moves with his left hand, his right hand, his free-throw shooting mechanics… He’s a guy who turns 50/40/90 every year. The only reason he isn’t consistently is that the shots he takes are hard shots. There’s no one more creative than him on a basketball court to land the shots he wants.
JR Smith raves about Kyrie Irving’s scoring qualities
It’s an indisputable fact, Uncle Drew is a fabulous scorer and a real pleasure to watch on offense. But can we really put it on the same level as the three legends mentioned above? Perhaps on an intrinsic level, but accomplishments also factor into this discussion and the Maverick doesn’t have as many of them as the others, far from it. For fans, the verdict is therefore obvious.
J.R been hitting the bottle since he retired

JR has kicked the bottle too much since he retired
No LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Michael Jordan: for JR Smith, it is Kyrie Irving who is the best scorer of all time. A divisive opinion that will not please the three snubbed legends, especially the King who was the Cavs’ fullback franchise player…
