Lin-sanity's ebbing in with Jeremy Lin's New York Knicks skidding to their fourth straight loss Friday night. Now the Knicks have another problem: J.R. Smith is sorry for posting a racy photo of a scantily-clad woman on Twitter from his hotel room in Milwaukee where the Knicks lost to 119-114 to the Bucks last night.

The photo was highlighted by Deadspin as it winged its way around the Internet Friday night. Smith apparently tried to delete the tweet after the fact but it was too late, according to the Associated Press via the Wall Street Journal.

"I didn't know it was going to be as big deal as it is now," said Smith after scoring 3 points in the Knicks loss. "I definitely regret it. It takes away from our team. Anytime I do anything that takes away from our team, I'm definitely going to regret it."

You make NBA money and THAT is what you have in your room? Pathetic.

After a postseason that saw him potentially costing himself millions of free agent dollars after tussling with Jason Terry and being pictured in Rihanna’s general vicinity, one would think J.R. Smith would attempt to avoid the limelight a wee bit as he heads into his second full season with the New York Knicks. Not J.R.’s style, apparently, as he’s drawn needless criticism from Knick coaches for changing his hair color, and the eyes of New York’s tabloid press as he rolls around in a vehicle that no civilian should ever drive.
Flush with a new four-year, $24 million contract from New York, Smith has apparently spent nearly half a million to purchase something to keep him safe from grenade attacks. From the New York Post’s Page Six (via SB Nation):
Smith, who’s recovering after surgery on his left knee in the off-season, rolled up to Meatpacking District restaurant Catch on Thursday night in a Gurkha F5, which is made by Toronto-based Terradyne Armored Vehicles and used by police and the military. Smith parked the oversize truck, worth about $450,000, on the street while he dined inside.
Per Terradyne’s website, all their vehicles feature an eight-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 300 brake horsepower and (because of the diesel technology) 660 lb.-feet of torque. Each vehicle in the Terradyne lineup all weigh well over 13,000 pounds.
And also nobody outside of police officers or military personnel should be driving these, because they’re incredibly stupid. Shooting guards, even ones with Smiths’ questionable shot selection, should not be driving armored vehicles on their way to eat a $32 scallop entrée.
That’s J.R. Smith, for you. Everybody look at him.

Sounds like this guy's got some mental issues or cannot be OUT of the limelight.
