Since the Cavaliers won the NBA championship, coach Tyronn Lue's phone has likely been ringing off the hook and blowing up with text messages from a variety of well wishers. Like President Barack Obama, who recently called to congratulate the Cavs for besting the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Obama also asked Lue if he personally still continued to play basketball, and extolled the greatness of LeBron James:

The president then ended his call with a simple plea -- tell J.R. Smith to put a shirt on. Smith has seemingly not put on a shirt since the Cavs won the championship and the president told Lue that should come to an end as soon as possible:

Now this may not be the most presidential request of all time but it has to be one of the greatest.
