J.R.’s latest Insta-classic

Was there any other way to respond?

J.R. Smith celebrated his improved performance (13 points, six rebounds, two assists, three steals and a blocked shot) in the Knicks’ 85-75 Game 5 win over the Pacers by responding to singer Rihanna and his critics with an Instagram meme (above).

“#LMFAO I had to do this!!!! #GreatMorningWorld!” Smith wrote in the caption below the photo.

For those of you not familiar with “Men in Black,” that’s Will Smith from the movie and the contraption in his hand erases people’s memories.

“I’m not worried about Instagram,” Smith said after the win that forced a Game 6 tonight in Indiana. “I’m worried about the playoffs.”

Well, apparently Smith’s still just a little worried about Instagram.
