WATCH: Shirtless J.R. Smith steals the show at MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game

The celebrity softball game brings out the fun side of local athletes and celebrities

J.R. Smith played the MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game shirtless on Tuesday, because, of course he did. 

Smith said he, "had to put on a show for the fans" and stepped up to his first at bat without a jersey on, which he became famous for after helping the Cavaliers to their first NBA championship back in 2016.

Team Cleveland suited up against Team World who had singer Daddy Yankee, former NFL player and 'Bachelor' star Colton Underwood and actor Jamie Foxx, to name a few. 

After the game, Smith, shirtless once again, said he thought actor Anthony Mackie should have been awarded MVP of the game. 

I caught up with @AnthonyMackie who thinks he should've taken home MVP.
