Jr. Smith to spend summer in jail


While most NBA players will be working on their game during the offseason, Denver Nuggets guard will be trading his Nuggets jersey for a prison jumpsuit.

Smith was sentenced to 90 days in jail for causing an auto accident that killed his friend in June 2007. If Smith performs 500 hours of community service, the judge will reduce his jail time from 90 days to 30.

In 2007, Smith ran a stop sign and collided with another car outside Trenton, New Jersey, killing his friend after going 67 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone.

Losing his friend is punishment enough … unless you have 28 points on your driving record and have racked up two speeding tickets since the accident in 2007.

Clearly, J.R. wasn’t getting the message.

He will get props if he finds a way to Twitter from jail.
