Unlike most NBA players, former Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith is enjoying a basketball life since he signed with a team in the Chinese Basketball Association. He's already over there and ready to play.
↵Over at Sheridan Hoops, Guan Weijia reports on Smith's transition to China has gone. Apparently Smith hasn't been all that attentive to the internet censorship over there. He couldn't use Twitter initially. But why use Twitter when he's being attended to like a king? As Weijia writes:
↵↵↵As the biggest name in team history, Smith also gets the best treatment. The team has hired a cook and two translators especially for him. For his relocation, Smith brought about 20 pieces of luggage, and the club arranged a room especially for those bags.

Beats waiting in the United States for the owners and the players union to get their acts together since that doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon.
