J.R. Smith is known as something of a lovable knucklehead among NBA fans, and for pretty good reason. 。
But no one was laughing when Smith and his wife, Jewel Harris, shared some sad news last month. 。

In that video, Harris looked into the camera and told the internet that the couple's baby girl, Dakota, had been born five months early. 。
Dakota was alive, but five days after birth she weighed just one pound. 。

A preterm berth occurs when a baby is born after less than 37 weeks of pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC says about about 1 in 10 babies born in the U.S. in 2015 was affected by the condition, which can cause serious health issues and even death. 。
That's bad enough, but worse still was that little Dakota was on the extreme end of that spectrum; being born five months early would indicated Harris was pregnant for little more than 20 weeks. 。
The Jan. 7 announcement by Smith and Harris was a somber moment for basketball fans. The news was doubly crushing because it struck Smith, who has seemed to mature a bit in recent years, just after he and Harris had been married, and just after he'd won his first NBA title. 。
On Monday, though, Smith updated the world with a bit of good news. 。
"Today is one of the greatest days of my life," he wrote to caption a photo he shared on Instagram. "Today I get to hold my youngest for the first time! GOD is GREAT! GOD is GREAT! #DakotaStrong" 。

Here's wishing Smith, Harris and baby Dakota the best going forward. 。
