Lost recruit J.R. Smith suits up for Heels in charity game
Posted Aug 29, 2005
J.R. Smith received a lukewarm reception from the half-filled Dean Dome when he was introduced. The fans came around, though, as the New Orleans Hornets' 6-foot-6 swingman showed off an array of acrobatic dunks that helped the former Tar Heels win 139-126. The unofficial count had Smith with 26 points on 10 dunks.
