J.R Smith made some sweeping accusations in an interview, claiming that he, Joe Johnson, Nick Young, and Isaiah Thomas have been blackballed by the NBA.
Smith spoke about his beliefs in-depth during an interview with complex sports.
When asked whether he feels he has been blackballed, Smith replied:
“Yeah, 100 percent…Anybody can sit here and tell you that that’s a fact.”
