Mike Woodson and J.R. Smith literally threw punches at each other during their Knicks days—talk about intense! Woodson didn’t shy away from sharing how their relationship sometimes boiled over into real fist fights, but he also said that mutual respect made it work. Instead of writing J.R. off for his reputation, Woodson doubled down on mentoring him, and it paid off: J.R. became Sixth Man of the Year and the Knicks had their best season in a decade. Makes you wonder—do tough love and heated clashes actually help some teams thrive? #Sports #Basketball #Knicks
