Trivia

* While a member of the New York Knicks in 1996, Reid is notoriously known for almost putting a halt to A.C. Green's NBA record of playing consecutive games when he intentionally elbowed Green in the face. Reid was fined and suspended several games for that flagrant foul. Green lost two teeth to that hit but was still able to continue his streak which ended in 2001 at 1,192 games played.

* While at UNC, Duke fans, notorious themselves for innovative signage about the opposition, displayed signs indicating "J.R. can't reid" In fact, both his parents were educators, and his SAT scores were competitive among entering UNC freshmen.
