As our loyal readers know, on this blog, I alone carry the jockstrap of JR Smith.
Which is why it should come as no surprise that I've been finding his latest self-expression on Twitter most entertaining...
JR, on returning home after serving his prison time:
"Hello Tweet if tall haven't heard I just Kame home I thank all of the fans for your support I will be doing a live broadcast on Sunday for u"
One could easily overlook his creative spelling of "came" as a simple typo, but when we look at some other posts, we see a pattern of "K" substitution for "c". A few other examples:
'Life is krazy' ('Man i'm so out of it rite now. I think I'm going to take a brake.' Sorry peoples had a big ass kookout with the fan yesterday going live from the beach' (
So, clearly we have a pattern here of K substitution, but what does it mean?
Well, we here at the Chris Andersen files will let our readers make up their own minds. But there is much speculation amongst fans that JR's resistance to the letter "C" is because JR Smith is somehow affiliating himself with the Bloods (which is one of America's most prominent gangs, for our younger readers). Apparently, Bloods don't use the letter "C" when writing in English because this is giving away brand kapital to the "Crips". This manipulation of English spelling has been considered by leading gang analysts to be a significant reason why Bloods have enjoyed dominant market share amongst the literate, as the mere sight of a "C" can be enough to cause a reader to change affiliation, according to recent studies.
Fans further speculate that the reason he loops his thumb and forefinger when hoisting his trademark, celebratory "3" fingers in the air (regardless of the score of the game, or the status of the other team's fast-break-on-a-make in progress), is to form the "b" shape, again in reference to the Bloods.
My own theory is much more simple: the "C" key on JR's iPhone touch screen is broken.
It's called Occam's Razor.

In other JR Smith Twitter notes, it appears that he had to switch hotels because the Palms wouldn't let him hook up his X-Box. Who among us kan't relate? You'd think in this day and age hotels would state clearly their policy on xbox hooking up during the reservation process.
'mad as hell the palms wont let me hook my xbox up
'got to change hotels)
Author's note: To reiterate, the above is merely reporting speculation amongst fans and in no way reflects any opinion of the author regarding JR Smith's gang affiliation or lack thereof.
