I actually don't remember hearing about this story before today, but it seems as if he had some dispute with his lawyer, as he did not pay nearly $23,000 in legal fees after an incident in 2006 in which he broke some guy's jaw in a pickup game.

It's good to see that another distraction seems to be called off for now. J.R. Smith is shooting only 41% from the field, 32% from behind the arc, and 69% from the line, all of which are way below last season's averages and below what you'd expect from a guy with so much potential. J.R. has decreased his scoring average from 15.2 to 14.5, his rebounding average from 3.7 to 2.8, and his assist average from 2.8 to 2.4. His minutes, steals, blocks, and fouls have remained constant, while his turnovers have increased a bit. I know that J.R. has had a good deal of distractions (jail time, birth of a daughter, this debt thing), but I really want to see better production from him.

These pictures are unrelated, but still funny:

Wrestling! This was something that most Nuggets' fans would love to not remember.
