Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is just a good clean humor right there. A breath of fresh air when it comes to streakers if you ask me.

There’s no political statement being made like that guy at the Cavs game a few weeks back, no nudity, no touching of players. No taser-brandishing by the police officer. This guy simply lost a bet/got a couple thousand retweets/said “watch this” and lived up to his word. That’s what LeBron does, that’s what Clevelanders do, and that’s what this guy did. Lived up to his word. We should all strive to be more like this guy each and every day.

How EXHAUSTED did that cop look though? Worked all day to keep 1.3 million people in line for the Cavs parade, got through seven innings of sitting in the bullpen without anyone bothering him and then this little shithead decides he’s gonna run onto the field. The sigh this guy let out when he saw the streaker sprinting toward center field would’ve madeĀ the Big Bad Wolf look like barely a breeze. God bless him for even getting up and trying.

Tuesday, June 21st, 2016:

Day two. Progress today. I was awake for close to three hours before crying. Hoping to get to a full day by the end of the week.

I mean, wow. Just wow. “Goodnight Oakland! It’s over!” in that first clip quite possibly might be my favorite call in Cleveland Sports history. Takes your breath away. You can literally hear 52 years of built-up pressure being popped by the sword of the Cavaliers.

I love AC and Fred. So much. I know announcers are supposed to be “professional” and “unbiased” for the most part, but seeing Fred basically go into convulsions after his team won the championship, I wouldn’t want anyone else.

Austin let it ride through the night and into yesterday, too:

Is it Wednesday yet?

Cavs

The Summer of JR Smith is just beginning

Leave a comment

J.R. Smith is on a special kind of run right now.

He’s been one of the most criticized Cavs players over the past two playoff runs. People said the moment was too big for him, that you couldn’t trust him, that he’d never be able to contribute on a stage as large as the NBA Finals.

Throw all that shit out the window, folks. The Cavaliers are NBA Champions, and J.R. Smith played a huge part in our team winning the game we’ll never forget on Sunday.

But this run I’m talking about, the Summer of J.R. Smith, all started with his daughter Demi’s comments about her daddy after the Cavs win in Game 6:

Us too, Demi. Us too.

Then, and I’m not sure this is getting talked about enough (we’ll get there, we only have the rest of eternity to talk about that game), J.R. put in 8 points in the first two and a half minutes of the second half on Sunday. He helped squash what looked like a potential Warriors run, keeping us within 2 at the 9:30 mark in the third.

After the win, Smith gave what I’m sure will go down as one of the most memorable post game pressers of all time.

You honestly can’t say enough about that three minute clip. Most guys pack it in when they get emotional, maybe ask for the next question or walk off the stage altogether. Not J.R. He fought through the tears to give his full answer so the world could hear what his father and family means to him. A special moment.

After that, J.R. was understandably ready to party.

Must have left his shirt in Vegas, cause when The Pipe stepped off the plane in Cleveland yesterday, well, you had to see that coming.

What. A. Rollercoaster. And I think (hope) this is only the first of many hills and loops.

You can’t help but be happy for this guy. Watch this Vice ride along with him from earlier this year. After all he’s been through, to be able to experience this run with his family and contribute and be embraced by his teammates and this city, man. Try not to smile.

I cannot WAIT to see what heĀ has in store for Wednesday.
