After struggling tremendously from the field to start the season, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith finally broke out in a major way, dumping 20 points on the Milwaukee Bucks, including 5-for-7 from 3-point territory.
What changed for the hoverboard-loving, shirt-averse swing man? LeBron James has one theory:
Through the Cavs' first 10 games, Smith had averaged just 5.3 points on 27.9 percent shooting. Perhaps he should listen to The King when it comes to his future sartorial decisions.
