JR Smith thought he was innocently saying hello to his good buddy, Bubba Watson, at Augusta National earlier this year. Little did he know the former World No. 2 was coming off a round of eight-over 80 that saw him miss the cut in the first major of the year.

Luckily, Watson immediately looked up to see that it was Smith who had dropped his favorite, somewhat cheesy line - "you're welcome." That lessened the sting of this inadvertent revenge job from the two-time NBA champion. We'll let Smith take it from there:

Smith was our guest this week on The Loop podcast to promote his High Noon Pro-Am contest, which is followers can enter by answering a few questions in the comment section of this Instagram post. The winner will get to bring two buddies to play 9 holes with J.R. on behalf of High Noon.

To hear our full chat with J.R., please have a listen below. We also discuss his upcoming senior year at North Carolina A&T, and his recent return to the basketball court, which instantly led to an injury.
