The Warriors may have four All-Stars on their roster, but J.R. Smith is the most popular player in Golden State right now.
The Cavaliers shooting guard essentially single-handedly lost Game 1 after dribbling out the clock in the final seconds thinking Cleveland had the lead instead of being tied. The Cavs would lose in overtime shortly after.

To rub the salt into the wounds even deeper, Warriors fans erupted with MVP chants for Smith when he got to the foul like during the first quarter.
