It's worth so much, yet entrusted it to his daughter. Which proves overall that his daughter's worth much more. Even though it dropped on the floor, it showed how much he loves his children.

As of now, JR Smith is no longer a part of the Los Angeles Lakers. Winning his second NBA title, Smith was not re-signed by the time, and was only on their roster during their time at the NBA bubble. The last time Smith won a title was in 2016 – also with LeBron James. Both titles are special in their own right, as this season concluded in a bubble environment, while the other was the Cleveland Cavaliers first title won by the franchise.
