Cleveland Cavaliers: “King Henny” J.R. Smith

There is no other choice for this one for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I’m sorry, LeBron James. I’m sorry, Kevin Love and your array of “Austin 3:16” shirts.

J.R. Smith has to get the selection here.

When I see J.R. Smith in WWE, I see him as Scott Hall. He may use tactics like untying shoes or wrestling boots, but you can’t hate him for it. He makes it cool. Plus, are you really going to boo a man that brings a bottle of Hennessy to ringside with him in every match? No, you won’t. It would grow on you and you’d love it.

Since his nickname is going to be “King Henny,” he’s going to win a King of the Ring Tournament in his career. This tournament made the careers of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle. We need to see J.R. Smith taking pulls from a Hennessy bottle on a throne with a crown on. It would probably become my Twitter profile picture and I wouldn’t think twice about it.

WWE needs J.R. Smith. J.R. Smith needs the WWE. The world needs J.R. Smith. He’s one of the world’s best humans. J.R. Smith is needed everywhere.

Finishing move: A Hennessy bottle to the skull or a lead pipe (wink, wink) because of course it is.
