J.R. Smith went days without wearing a shirt after the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Finals. Now fans have the opportunity to look like Smith and his shirtless glory.

J.R. Smith took his black-sleeved jersey off moments after the final buzzer when the Cleveland Cavaliers clinched their first Larry O’Brien trophy in franchise history. That may be the last time that Smith wore his shirt, even to this point.

Smith’s shirtless became increasingly popular as he, and the Cavs, voyaged back from Oakland, CA to deliver Cleveland it’s first major championship in 52 years.

The Cavs’ first stop was at XS Las Vegas on their journey back to The Land. As videos surfaced of the celebration that was pre-coordinated one thing was clear, Smith still wasn’t wearing a shirt.

The fun didn’t stop there for Smith and the Cavs, as they continued their journey home to Cleveland. When they arrived, a massive crowd awaited them at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The pilot was directed to bring the plane over to where Cavs fans had gathered to greet their beloved champions.

Players, coaches and front office members exited the plane one-by-one and had their turn at pumping up the crowd. When it was Smith’s turn, he still didn’t have a shirt on, and nobody cared.

He could have put on a shirt to celebrate with 1.3 million fans in downtown Cleveland and be civil, but instead he announced that he’s running for president, without a shirt on. However, President Obama isn’t having it. President Obama called Cavs’ head coach Tyronn Lue to address the situation and said that he needs to put a shirt on.

Now Cavs fans have the opportunity to look like Smith shirtless. Fresh Brewed Tees, a Cleveland-based shirt company, has created the ultimate t-shirt. Fans can buy will be able to sport the t-shirt soon as Fresh Brewed Tees suggests.

Smith’s latest fashion statement could be a trend-setter as soon as these shirts are made available. Clevelanders will have the ability to re-create the parade from Smith’s vantage point thanks to the shirt.

Imagine walking onto the court at Quicken Loans Arena and seeing thousands of fans dressed like you. That’s the reality that Smith could be living in next season, thanks to his popular few days following the Cavs’ Game 7 win.

Though President Obama wants Smith to put a shirt on, perhaps it’s best that Smith buys one of these shirts and wears it to the White House when the Cavs are welcomed by the President.
