J.R. Smith accused of choking a NYC teen who mocked his deal to Cleveland

Justin Brown, a 19-year old and hails from Harlem, was with pals who chided Cleveland Cavaliers guard JR Smith for ignoring their fan request for a photo. Smith is seen on a cell phone video walking away from the group, sources said.

"That's why New York kicked you out, yo!" Brown remarked.

Brown told cops that after the verbal brush, Smith, who is 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, checked him against the exterior of the building and put his hands around Brown's neck, police sources said. Smith’s lawyer, in talking to the Daily News, called the allegations “completely false.”
