    There is a strong possibility that Cleveland Cavalier J.R. Smith still may be strutting around town in his shirtlessness. He was shirtless in Vegas after the Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. He stepped off the plane to greet Cleveland fans shirtless. He participated in the Cavaliers championship parade shirtless.

    President Barack Obama called Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue to congratulate him for the team’s win and had a message for Smith & Co.

    “Tell J.R. and everybody to put on a shirt. You can’t be just walking around without a shirt,” said Obama.

    J.R. Smith #5 of the Cleveland Cavaliers waves to the fans during the Cleveland Cavaliers Victory Parade And Rally on June 22, 2016 in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
