JR Smith/Instagram Story

One of the best things that came out of the Cavaliers' championship victory back in 2016 was shirtless JR Smith.

Shirtless JR became both a legend and a meme in the best way possible, and deep down inside we've always wondered what it would take (outside of the Cavs winning another title) for shirtless Smith to return.

Thursday night, we discovered what it would take, a Cleveland Browns win

Shirtless JR has returned

Shirtless JR is the hero we didn't know we needed after watching the Browns win their first game in nearly two years.

We hope the Browns keep winning so the legend of shirtless JR continues to grow.
