Earlier this month, J.R. Smith and the Cleveland Cavaliers became world champions, defeating the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA finals. J.R. Smith was spotted leaving the game shirtless, and, over 24 hours later, when the Cavs celebrated their victory with a parade through Cleveland, Smith was still in his game shorts and still shirtless. Smith's shirtless antics even caught the attention of President Obama, who mentioned during a phone call with Cavs coach Tyronn Lue that Smith should probably put a shirt on.
Okay this @Cavs video of President Obama telling Ty Lue that JR Smith needs to put his shirt back on is AMAZING. pic.twitter.com/ApCc3wwrY7

Smith's refusal to put a shirt on after the victory became the stuff of internet lore, and Smith, along with Team Swish, has released a new T-Shirt that depicts bare torso. You can now become shirtless J.R. Smith, tattoos and all, over at the Team Swish webstore.
