Despite Kyrie Irving’s dynamic performance in the NBA Finals, and of course LeBron being…well LeBron, there is another star from the Cavs’ championship run — J.R. Smith. J.R., who came to Cleveland last year after time ocultuverseas and run with the New York Knicks, won his first championship on Sunday.

Needless to say, he is amped, and we are amped right along with him. Here’s why post-championship J.R. Smith is how we want to be all Summer Sixteen:

1. His emotional postgame tribute to his father put us in our feelings.

2. Living legend right here.

3. He literally hasn’t worn a shirt since the postgame party in Vegas.

4. Got off the plane, still living his life, no shirt on.

After beating the Warriors, LeBron comes home wearing an Ultimate Warrior shirt.

7. He’s that bold friend that doesn’t care what you think. You want to reach his levels of carefree.

8. J.R.’s story since the win actually needs to be made into a film.

I need an oral history of the last 72 hours of J.R. Smith, and I need it now. https://t.co/gjx3d7Teuc

9. Both of these ideas would be for the culture.

JR gon try to make the league go shirts vs skins next year…

I doubt JR Smith will ever wear a shirt again. He might just go to the White House w/o one on. #ForTheCulture https://t.co/RX1edFjopB

10. The whole city is behind him.

11. I am 100 percent backing this idea. #BlackPlotTwists

Everyone laughed at J.R. Smith for trying to fund his own reality show during the Finals and now look where we are.

14. His influence has extended to Kyrie.

15. It’s all J.R. until further notice.

Looking at the JR Smith pics with total joy. Let the man live.

Does anybody even care about Lebron anymore? This is the JR Smith show. It always was, we just didn’t know it till now
