‘God is GREAT’ – Cleveland Cavaliers Star J.R. Smith Holds Daughter Born 5 Months Premature for First Time

Cleveland Cavaliers Star J.R. Smith finally got to hold his newborn daughter more than a month after she was born premature.

On Monday, Smith posted a photo of him holding his tiny daughter, Dakota, born five months premature last month, saying the day was one of the “greatest” of his life.

Last month, Smith and his wife, Jewel asked fans to pray for their daughter, who was only 1 pound when she was born.

Since then, Smith has been posting updates on Dakota to social media. Three weeks ago, he posted a photo of one of his older daughters, Demi, looking into an incubator at her younger sister.
