May 28, 2015You read that correctly. Barack Obama — President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, leader of the free world — has publicly stated his opinion on Cavalier guard J.R. Smith.
He tweeted about him, anyway.
President Obama, who just recently got his own @POTUS Twitter handle,1 invited followers to ask him questions regarding climate change after being briefed on hurricane preparedness in Miami, Florida.
Just got a hurricane preparedness briefing in Miami. Acting on climate change is critical. Got climate Qs? I'll answer at 1pm ET. #AskPOTUS

Upon receiving a question regarding the NBA postseason climate, however, Obama (a noted basketball fan) couldn’t help but answer.
.@NathenVieira jr smith having a great season but the heart of the Cavs is Lebron. And no one can outshoot Curry – maybe Korver if wide open
— President Obama (@POTUS44) May 28, 2015
Obama also noted that LeBron James is the heart of the Cavaliers — way to step out on a limb there, prez — and dubbed Golden State’s Stephen Curry the best shooter in the game.
As of press time, the president had posted 25 tweets from the @POTUS account. That means that four percent of all of the presidential account’s tweets have to do with J.R. Smith. Could a meeting at the White House be far behind?
POTUS did not offer any thoughts vis-à-vis pipe.

Is this good or bad?
Korver outshoot Curry? Really??
I think it just is
He said maybe. Dude shot 49 percent from three this season after all.
If J.R. Smith gets an invite to The House, he better have a Go Pro strapped to his chest.
Isiah Thomas called JR Smith “a straight baller” on NBATV after the Game4 win.
Who’s next on giving him credit?
That’s awesome. But whatever street cred the POTUS gets for his basketball knowledge, he loses by balling in those sweat pants. Straight old man YMCAing there!
As if his first pitches and bike riding gear weren’t enough.
He’s just letting it be known to Uncle Drew and Wes that if they ever need a third for some 3-on-3, he’s their guy…
You think Barry O ever gets called for traveling?
