J.R. Smith is only 275 career 3-pointers behind Kyle Korver and presumably has hopes of catching him.
But a moment captured on television during the Cavaliers’ series-clinching Game 4 victory over the Toronto Raptors Sunday at Air Canada Centre opened the window to what might border on a mentor-student relationship.
Korver’s corner 3-pointer with 3:52 left in the second quarter drew a reaction from Smith that was a combination of utmost respect and childlike glee.
When Korver took a pass from Kevin Love and launched the shot, Smith got up from his seat on the bench.
