JR Smith had one of his best seasons individually when he won Sixth Man of the Year with the Knicks. Somes reasons for him improving and winning the award was the fact Coach Woodson was able to get through to JR and some of it was a function that JR was playing well during a contract year. He time as a Knick wasn't without it's problems, but to act as if he was a complete failure as a Knick player isn't 100% accurate.
