J.R. Smith may never live this down.

Grabbing an offensive rebound off a George Hill missed free throw late in the fourth quarter, Smith ran away from the basket and butchered a massive opportunity to win Game 1 of the NBA Finals for the Cleveland Cavaliers with the score locked at 107.

A number of Smith's peers from across the Association who were watching the Finals opener didn't show the veteran guard much mercy on social media.
