Barack Obama joked about wanting Cavs star JR Smith to stop celebrating without a shirt
(Ken Blaze/USA TODAY Sports)
One storyline that has emerged since the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship is that J.R. Smith loves celebrating without a shirt.
That's all well and good, but at a certain point a limit must be established. We all understand that J.R. is ecstatic about helping bring a championship to a city that hadn't seen any kind of championship gold in over half a century, but now even the president is saying something about it, as seen in a phone conversation with Cavs coach Tyronn Lue.

That does it. We've all loved your enthusiasm and affinity for remaining shirtless, but the time to stop has come. President Obama is asking nicely, and it would be impolite to not heed his request.
