Greg Monroe thwarts J.R. Smith’s attempt to untie his shoelace on free throw

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

And J.R. Smith is just a fool.

Smith, having dodged attention for trying to untie Dwight Howard’s shoe during a free throw and then getting warned by the NBA for pulling the stunt on Shawn Marion, tried – or at least pretended to do the same to Greg Monroe during last night’s Pistons-Knicks game.

But Monroe was too quick for it.

Good for Monroe avoiding getting clowned. He clearly read the scouting report on Smith.

As for Smith, he got fined $50,000.
