Before the championships, before the bright lights, there was #Lakewood. 🌆 A young JR Smith grew up on those courts, chasing a dream bigger than the neighborhood he called home. Every shot, every step, every setback built the fire that carried him to the league. 🏀✨ From Lakewood to the world stage, his story is proof that roots don’t hold you back—they remind you how far you’ve come. 💯🔥 #LakewoodLegend #JRSmith #JerseyGuardsDifferent #BasketballNeedsNewJersey teamswish
