J.R. Smith says he's "forever grateful" for the chance to "wear a Knicks uniform."

I want to thank Mr. Dolan and the Knicks organization for giving me the opportunity to play for such a storied franchise over the past few seasons. I want to thank my teammates for their support and guidance. Most importantly, I want thank the fans of New York who are some of the most passionate basketball fans in the world. Playing in my hometown has been incredibly special and I will be forever grateful for having had the chance to wear a Knicks uniform. Though I look forward to starting a new chapter in Cleveland to join some of the best talent in the game in the quest for an NBA Championship, this great experience in New York will always stay with me. Thank you again, fans. Your support means the world.

We're almost at the NBA's mid point and the New York Knicks are still dominating the NBA's new cycle.  With the recent antics/fine of G J.R. Smith, many wondered if the NBA veteran would ever mature.  Recently Knicks F Carmelo Anthony indicated that Smith has gotten the message.

“We have numerous talks,’’ Anthony said. “Me and J.R. talk sometimes all day and night. Certain situations, you have to open your eyes and look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘It’s time to change myself. Everyone else is giving me chances and everybody else wants me to change. If I’m not changing myself, it’s irrelevant.....I think this is a situation that opened his eyes up.
