JR in his history on and off the court has demonstrated an arrogant ignorance. Other than his involuntary vehicular manslaughter event, his actions are mostly self problematic and sometimes entertaining.

Now this:

Knicks’ J.R. Smith links ‘Black Friday’ to slavery in bizarre Instagram post

'DID YOU KNOW: Black Friday stemmed from slavery? It was the day after Thanksgiving when slave traders would sell slaves for a discount,' read the since-deleted graphic.

BY Jaime Uribarri /

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS /

It's safe to assume that J.R. Smith wouldn't have majored in history had he gone to college.

Don't expect J.R. Smith to master something as complicated as the triangle offense when he can't even grasp basic American history.

The Knicks shooting guard made a fool of himself on Instagram Tuesday night by linking the term "Black Friday" with slavery.

"DID YOU KNOW: Black Friday stemmed from slavery? It was the day after Thanksgiving when slave traders would sell slaves for a discount to assist plantation owners with more helpers for the upcoming winter (for cutting and stacking fire wood, winterproofing etc.), hence the name," read the graphic, complete with an illustration of a slave auction.

“You’re a f------ idiot” was one of the the more blunt responses to the head-scratcher of a post , while others, like Twitter user @j_weech1, tried enlightening Smith about the true meaning of the term.

A screen grab of Smith's Instagram post, which is deleted.

“It’s called Black Friday because businesses get into the black (profit) for the year, because it’s the biggest day.”

Smith’s only reaction was to quickly delete the post, but not before attentive Instagram users from took a screen shot for posterity.

Now untying opposing players' shoelaces will go down as the second-dumbest thing Smith has ever done.

Is it too late for a 2nd rounder at this point?

"I don't know why, but my head wasn't in the game the first 3 and a half quarters. I'm a professional and that is not what a professional does. But I put us on my back when it counted, so I'm good."

Little birdy fed you acid, making you hear things. JR ate a whole turkey and OD'd on Tryptophan and in state of total soporific confusion called his agent with instructions to opt out. My version is better.
