President Obama wants JR Smith to put a shirt on

jr-smith-shirtless

J.R. Smith took his shirt off while the Cleveland Cavaliers were celebrating their Game 7 win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, and it seems like he has been shirtless since. President Barack Obama would like that to change.

Obama placed a congratulatory phone call to Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue on Thursday, and the Commander in Chief ended it by asking Lue to have Smith put a shirt on.

“Tell J.R. and everybody to put a shirt on, though,” Obama joked. “You can’t just be walking around without a shirt all week. Now (Iman) Shumpert’s taking off his shirt, come on man. But I guess if you’re built like that, you know…”

After Smith went viral for celebrating with no shirt on, he continued to embrace the trend by riding through the streets of Cleveland half-naked. You can see some footage from the victory parade here.

You can’t blame Smith for being excited, but he may have to get fully dressed now. That’s an order that comes directly from the top.
