LeBron James, JR Smith, Cleveland celebrate after Browns' first win in 635 days

The Cleveland Browns won their first game in 635 days on Thursday night, beating the New York Jets 21-17.

Naturally, Cleveland celebrated like it just won a Super Bowl.

OK, maybe not quite like that. But still, the city and its fans across the country went nuts. The legendary Bud Light fridges were opened and fans across the city fully embraced the win.

After all, they earned it.

LeBron James joins the celebration

While he doesn’t play for the Cavaliers anymore, LeBron James didn’t hesitate to hop in on the Browns celebration.

He posted multiple videos on his Instagram story throughout the game, too, and seemed to be the most excited when Baker Mayfield caught a two-point conversion pass from Jarvis Landry.

If nothing else, his reaction was much better than last week’s — when James came at kicker Zane Gonzalez after missing two critical field goals and extra points in the Browns’ loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Shirtless JR Smith shows up

When the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship in 2016, a shirtless JR Smith stole the show in their victory parade.

It was only fitting that after the Browns’ big win that Smith take part in the celebration — shirtless, of course.

After all, is it even a big win in Cleveland if JR Smith doesn’t take his shirt off?

‘We are the champions’

Once the Bud Light coolers were unlocked in Cleveland, fans who weren’t at the game were all in on the celebration.

And then, of course, they broke out into song.

Twitter celebrates

Fans who weren’t lucky enough to celebrate the win in Cleveland took to the internet after the win.
