[ laughter ] j.r. smith of the cavaliers has been getting some criticism for launching a kickstarter campaign during the finals. while the games are going on, he is hoping to raise money to produce a reality show about his life. that's great, because if there are two things the world needs more of, it's kickstarter campaigns and reality shows. [ laughter ] but this show, it's a whole thing, you can watch it online. the show would follow j.r, his bodyguard boom, and his family and lead up to his wedding. and then they would show the wedding too. j.r apparently promised his girlfriend, they'll get married as soon as the finals are over, which, the way things have been going, means they will probably be getting married very soon. they're trying to raise $450,000 to make the show, which is a lot. i have to say, and maybe this is gonna make me sound like an old codger, but i really want to say, i liked it better when nba players got reality shows the old-fashioned way -- by marrying a kardashian. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thank you. thank you for finally agreeing with me on something. [ laughter ] i'm sure you know, a key part of being a professional athlete, especially a basketball player, is endorsements -- doing endorsements. a lot of nba players appear in big budget commercials for big companies, powerade, gatorade, nike, adidas, state farm. but, my favorite commercials starring athletes are the local ones, where the player shows up at a local business and shoots an ad with the owner in the store. that is what i love. i can watch those all day. there was one growing up in las vegas, with mordecai the jeweler and, and larry holmes, the heavyweight champion and it was just, like, "these prices are a real knockout."
