The Cleveland Cavaliers made the traditional sports champions' visit to the White House on Thursday, mere moments after President Obama hosted president-elect Donald Trump for a meeting in the Oval Office.
Naturally, the J.R. Smith shirt-watch was on, after Smith indicated earlier that he may give his top to Obama.
Obama was also presented with a No. 16 Cavaliers jersey by Kevin Love.

The Cavs could well be the last title-winning team to visit the White House during the Obama administration. The 44th president leaves office Jan. 20. Given the polarizing nature of his successor, some like Jalen Rose have speculated that fewer athletes will make the visit over the next few years.
Before the ceremony, Cavs players got a chance to explore the White House, including Canadian Tristan Thompson, who brought along his mother Andrea.
