Knicks fans don't have much to be happy about right now: almost half the team is injured, Carmelo Anthony is a mess, and the whole season seems to be teetering on the brink of free fall. Really, Knicks fans can use any excuse to smile—which is just what this music video tribute to sixth man JR Smith will do. Milford Jerome, who performs "So Right", nails everything we love about the madly inconsistent, Twitter-friendly star: "To score you need to shoot/to score more you need to shoot more." Watch it below, and don't forget to tell Iman Shumpert to get a haircut.
In case you were wondering: yes, this is the greatest song ever about JR Smith. But it is not the best song about—or by—Shumpert.
