After a postseason that noticed him probably costing himself hundreds of thousands of free agent dollars after tussling with Jason Terry and being pictured in Rihanna’s common vicinity, one would assume J.R. Smith would attempt to avoid the limelight a wee bit as he heads into his second full season with the New York Knicks. Not J.R.’s style, apparently, as he’s drawn pointless criticism from Knick coaches for changing his hair colour, and the eyes of New York’s tabloid press as he rolls around in a automobile that no civilian should ever drive.
Flush with a brand new 4-yr, $24 million contract from New York, Smith has apparently spent nearly half 1,000,000 to buy one thing to maintain him secure from grenade attacks. From the New York Publish’s Web page Six (via SB Nation):
Smith, who’s recovering after surgery on his left knee within the low season, rolled as much as Meatpacking District restaurant Catch on Thursday evening in a Gurkha F5, which is made by Toronto-primarily based Terradyne Armored Automobiles and utilized by police and the navy. Smith parked the oversize truck, value about $450,000, on the street whereas he dined inside.
Per Terradyne’s web site, all their vehicles feature an eight-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 300 brake horsepower and (because of the diesel technology) 660 lb.-toes of torque. Every car within the Terradyne lineup all weigh properly over thirteen,000 kilos.
And additionally no one outdoors of police officers or army personnel must be driving these, because they’re extremely silly. Taking pictures guards, even ones with Smiths’ questionable shot selection, should not be driving armored vehicles on their approach to eat a $32 scallop entrée.
That’s J.R. Smith, for you. Everyone take a look at him.
