J.R. Smith is not going to gain any street cred from this arrest -- he was popped in Miami this weekend for operating a scooter without a valid driver's license. THUG LIFE!!!!
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Smith, who has played the last five seasons with the Denver Nuggets, was not taken to jail for the offense. We're told Smith signed a notice to appear -- he'll get his court date later.
South Beach beware -- Smith was released on his own recognizance.
No word on what happened to the scooter.

Workin my way to Trump status:
Why does he have to try and be a thug? Less than 5 NBA players are actually thugs. Can't he just be a young adult riding a scooter along Miami who didn't have a valid d.l.?

So why is he trying to be a thug again? Gaining street cred for what? Is he a drug dealer? You do know you pigs are stereotyping right? Then when we state the obvious, you say we hate you.

justsaying seems to have race problems on his mind on every post. I bet he deals the race card every time he gets the chance. The story is an attempt at humor you race baiters, (get a life).

In Florida, if you get caught riding without a license, they take your bike.

White Cops, black human. The whites are always going to do the worst thing. There is no end to the white men of this world and their chronic hatred of us blacks. Gosh, there slipped another white guy with crack and cocaine while these cops are writing up a ticket to this guy on a scooter. Who looses here??

Someone called the cops.
I'm in an old sub-division with an old 2 lane road, 1 lane in each direction, narrow, not major but enough neighborhood traffic. A man a few streets down got busted for a DUI on his lawnmower. He was riding his mower all over the road and someone called the cops. They came and he got busted for a DUI.
