New York Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith is not only loyal to the Knicks, he also supports New York's other professional basketball franchise, apparently.

No, not the Brooklyn Nets. Smith was in attendance for the home opener for the WNBA's New York Liberty.

Unfortunately, Smith's celebrity appearance didn't help the Liberty, who dropped their contest by a score of 79-65 to the Chicago Sky. Perhaps as a tribute to Smith, Liberty guard Cappie Pondexter shot an abysmal 3-for-16 from the field.
