Subscribe today!?The full interview appeared on SportsCenter and is streaming now on WatchESPN.SARAH SPAIN: J.R., I know you were at some of those Cubs-Indians games in the World Series. Was it a little frosty at first when you saw David today?J.R. Smith: No, I was actually worried about his safety being in Cleveland [where the photo shoot took place] right now. I thought I had to be a bodyguard.SS: Whats the thing you hear most often when people meet you?JRS: Where is your million-dollar shirt? Im like, Its underneath these $25 Hanes T-shirts Ive got on.SS: What about you, Simone?Simone Biles: You look taller on TV. I get that all the time. I know they think Im taller because its so close and I look stretched out, but Im just 4-8.SS: You dont look very tall on TV either, honey. What do you hear most, David?David Ross: Youre really not that old. You know, the old grandpa thing -- Grandpa Rossy with KB [Kris Bryant] and Rizz [Anthony Rizzo]. Thats how everyone treats me. Then I got back to my hometown, and everyone is like, I wish I could retire at 39. So they put it in perspective.JRS: Hell be on my slow-pitch softball team.DR: Yeah, now were talking.JRS: My pinch-runner right here [Biles], shes gonna do real good.DR: Im gonna DH. Ive never been a good hitter, so the DH thing would be nice in softball.SS: Speaking of that, your last hit as an MLB player was a home run in the World Series [in Game 7]. What were you thinking in that moment?DR: Well, I had just gotten in the game and let two runs in. Im like, Wait a minute, this isnt what I do. I prevent runs, and Ive been in here two seconds and theres two runs in. So I was just happy to get one back, to give us that three-run lead.SS: J.R., whats one of the most memorable moments of your title run?JRS: At halftime [of Game 7], one of our oldest guys on the team, James Jones, came to me, and hes like, Man, its time for you to do something. Youve been sleeping the whole playoffs, the whole final series. First couple of shots I got coming out, I was like, You know what, Im gonna shoot it. Fortunately they fell, and we started making our way back.SS: Was there any part of the celebration where you thought, I cant believe Im here right now?JRS: The plane ride back with my teammates. I didnt know how to feel. Did this really happen? What just happened? Of course, Im still shirtless. Im sitting on the plane, Tristan [Thompson] and LeBron next to me. LeBrons got his MVP trophy and hes looking at it, and Im looking across like, We did it! Being down 3-1 [in the Finals] was the worst feeling Ive ever experienced in my life. I didnt want to talk to my teammates, I didnt want to talk to my wife, I didnt want to talk to my kids. And to come back from that is a lesson that you can come back from anything.SS: Simone, these two guys broke super-long streaks. You were the favorite all along. Whats the pressure like when you have to be the best every time?SB: I wouldnt necessarily say that. Im only 19. Its kinda crazy if youre older and putting expectations on a poor 19-year-old. But to me, I go out there, and I do what I trained. We prepare so long for that moment, so its just kind of exciting.SS: Is there any feeling of, Im 19, I just did the best thing ever. Where do I go from here?SB: Sometimes I think of that and Im like, Simone, I dont know what else you can do. What more can you do? Maybe you can repeat yourself. Ill take time off, get out more, go outside more, vacation.SS: What about you, David? How do you react when the best is behind you?DR: Its rewarding riding into the sunset. What better way to go? My teammates carried me off the field -- it doesnt get any better than that. Now its time to be a dad. To be as successful at that as I was at baseball would be nice.SS: What about you, J.R.? Do you have a big goal for 2017?JRS: Other than repeating, Im expecting a new baby girl.SB: You can name her Simone.JRS: You know, if my other daughter picks it, shell definitely name her Simone.SS: Is your daughter a fan of Simone?JRS: You have no idea. Yesterday she came to our game. I was walking out of the locker room, and she goes, Daddy, Daddy, I met her! I met Simone! She loves her.SS: Something tells me that this cover photo may end up on the wall in your daughters room. You hanging out with her idol, Simone.JRS: A hundred percent. Gale Sayers Womens Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Supermodel Kate Upton has condemned the four Miami Dolphins players who knelt during the national anthem, writing on Instagram that their actions are a disgrace to those people who have served and currently serve our country.The four players -- running back Arian Foster, outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins, free safety Michael Thomas and wide receiver Kenny Stills -- were down on their right knee as the song played before the Dolphins 12-10 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday.Their decision to not stand during the national anthem was the latest in a series of protests undertaken by a number of professional athletes in recent weeks, with San Franciscoo 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick beginning the demonstration prior to a preseason game last month. William Perry Jersey. Upton, who is engaged to Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, specifically condemned the players actions as more horrific because they occurred on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.I could never imagine multiple people sitting down during the national anthem on the Sept. 11th anniversary, Upton wrote. The lessons of 9/11 should teach us that if we come together, the world can be a better and more peaceful place. Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College JerseysCheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
