There's nothing quite like preseason basketball.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers listed him as inactive for Monday's exhibition against the Memphis Grizzlies, J.R. Smith opted to enjoy the game like a fan. A fan with very good seats, mind you, but a fan nonetheless.

That included a first-quarter trip into the stands to purchase some cotton candy - cotton candy he would later eat on the bench, according to the Cavaliers' blog Fear the Sword.

Smith is dealing with a sore left hamstring, so the cotton candy must be a conduit for simple carbohydrates to aid in his recovery.
