Los Angeles Lakers guard J.R. Smith was excited about former Vice President Joe Biden’s projected victory over President Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
Smith was so happy that he decided to drive past a bunch of Trump supporters blasting the song, “F–k Donald Trump” by hip-hop artist YG featuring Nipsey Hussle, and he lowered the window in his car and flipped off the pro-Trump protesters.

NFL star DeAndre Hopkins was seen before the election flipping off Trump supporters in Arizona as well.
