Cleveland Cavaliers

President Obama just got to flex his comedy skills one last time ... welcoming the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers to the White House.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the squad were honored by POTUS on the lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ... and the prez was funny!!

Topics Obama didn't touch? Donald Trump. Khloe Kardashian. Everything else was fair game ... including busting on J.R. Smith for not wearing a shirt after the Cavs won the title.

B.O. also discusses "MacGyver" Iman Shumpert for delivering his baby with the help of a pair of headphones.

Check out the clip, and congrats champs!

The Cleveland Cavaliers had their annual Halloween party Sunday night ... and it was nothing short of epic ... with several HUGE talking points that need to be addressed:

The Cleveland Cavaliers got their NBA Championship rings Tuesday night (6.5 karats, 400 diamonds) -- and you can bet your sweet ass Khloe Kardashian was there to inspect the goods!

Khloe was Tristan Thompson's VIP guest (duh) -- and immediately played "Mine's bigger than yours" with her finger jewelry.

Just because Kim's no longer flossin' on social media doesn't mean Khloe has to follow suit, right?

By the way, the Cavs won -- crushing the Knicks 117 to 88.

LeBron James was FIRED UP when the Cleveland Indians won the ALCS -- and so was the rest of the local bar he was watching the game at ... and the whole celebration was captured on video.

Bron hit up Townhall in Cleveland with J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson to watch game 5 of the ALCS -- and sat right in the mix with a bunch of the locals.

When the Indians sealed the deal, the place exploded ... and now LeBron knows what it's like to watch another team from The Land dominate.

Cleveland Cavs star Iman Shumpert has been hit with charges stemming from his arrest last month in Georgia ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, the 26-year-old guard was pulled over outside of Atlanta on August 10th for a lane change violation.

Police say they did a field sobriety test and determined Shumpert was high. Cops also found a mason jar of marijuana in the car.

According to court records, obtained by TMZ Sports, Shumpert was charged with DUI (drugs), marijuana possession (less than an ounce) and failure to maintain lane -- all misdemeanors. He was also hit with a few traffic citations.

Coach Allen Iverson???

Maybe ... 'cause his buddy, Tyronn Lue -- coach of the world champion Cleveland Cavs has invited his old nemesis to join his bench.

In case you missed it, Iverson gave Lue a big shout-out during his Hall of Fame induction speech this weekend ... and said they became good friends after the legendary "step-over" at the 2001 NBA Finals.

Iverson also mentioned in his speech that point guards seem to become the best NBA coaches -- and since A.I. played some P.G., we asked Lue if "The Answer" was a candidate for a job.

Lue and Iverson on the sideline together? Please get matching hairdos.

Beware, Kyrie Irving ... Kenny Smith thinks a horrible breakup song should be written about you ... 'cause the ex-NBA star says Irving should be the next man up ... to date Taylor Swift.

Smith was out in L.A. when we wanted to know if it's time for the newly single T-Sweezy to give the NBA world a chance ... since it doesn't seem to be working with the actors and singers.

Kenny says YES ... and he has just the guy ... Cleveland Cavs star Kyrie Irving, who he says would be right up Swift's alley 'cause of where he's from ... and what he likes.

Cleveland Cavs star Iman Shumpert was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana back in August ... TMZ Sports has learned.

If the Stanley Cup can go on a donut run ... so can the Larry O'Brien trophy!

Cleveland Cavs stud Tristan Thompson grabbed the NBA championship hardware and took it on a little getaway to Canada ... where he's been giving it a tour of his home country.

But the best part ... he took Larry to Tim Hortons ... a famous coffee and donut shop chain up north where Sidney Crosby brought the NHL's biggest prize back in July.

"I saw Sidney Crosby brought the Stanley Cup to @timhortons so only right I brought Larry!" Tristan tweeted.

Maybe Peyton will road trip with the Vince Lombardi Trophy next ... not like he's got anything else to do.

LeBron James is putting that new $100 million contract to good use, 'cause the Cavs superstar brought 5,000 kids and their families to an amusement park on Tuesday.

The annual trip to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio encourages Akron kiddos to focus on their education before entering LBJ's "I Promise" initiative -- which offers a free college education after high school.

TMZ Sports spoke with a rep from CP, who tells us, "It’s an honor to work with a wonderful, dedicated group of people who provide so much to Northeast Ohio – and we’re happy to provide a 'Best Day' experience for their program families here at the park.”

LeBron teamed up with Chase Bank to help pay for the shindig ... which also offers an opportunity to attend a sit-down convo with the King himself.

Cleveland Cavs forward Dahntay Jones added a ring in June ... but lost 400 kicks in July ... 'cause more than 200 pairs from his prized shoe collection were just auctioned off ... and he's PISSED.

Jones kept 208 pairs of rare Nikes in a storage facility in Atlanta for years ... but not just any old kicks, some of the shoes were ultra-rare ... including sample kicks made especially for Fat Joe.

But the facility claims Jones didn't keep up on the payments, so last week, they auctioned of the contents ("Storage Wars" style) ... and the winning bid was around $4,000.

We spoke with Jones who admits he was late on his payments -- but says it was a simple mix-up that could have been easily corrected without having to unload his sneakers.

Jones says his credit card stopped making payments to the facility due to a possible fraud alert (it happens sometimes) ... but says he contacted the facility and told them he would come up with the cash (he's reportedly made $18 mil in the NBA).

Jones says the facility went ahead with the sale anyway ... and now, he's out 1/4 of his beloved shoe collection. He's considering legal action.

By the way, Jones says the outstanding bill was LESS THAN $400.

As for his ex-kicks ... the new owner says he plans to sell them on eBay .. and we're told they'll probably fetch a hefty return.

Everyone seems to love the J.R. Smith tatted tee shirts ... including his own wife -- who rocked J.R.'s body to a prestigious golf course in Ohio Thursday.

Richard Jefferson says he's definitely NOT hangin' 'em up -- telling TMZ Sports he has no plans to retire and wants to ball for "a couple more years."

The 36-year-old Cleveland Cavs star initially announced his retirement in the locker room -- right after his squad beat the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship.

But he's been walkin' that statement back ever since -- and Wednesday at The Solution (an IV hydration spa in L.A.) he told us pretty definitely "I'm not retiring."

Question is ... is he gonna stay in Cleveland? We asked. Check out what he said.

Kevin Garnett to the Cavs????

Probably not ... but he got lunch with the coach Tuesday.

Turns out KG is longtime friends with Ty Lue -- and the two hooked up for a fancy lunch yesterday at Crustacean in Bev Hills.

First Kobe ... now Obama??

The President just announced he finally "hung it up" -- and will no longer play competitive basketball games.

54-year-old Obama revealed the move during a phone call with Cleveland Cavs coach Ty Lue -- saying he actually "hung it up about 2 years ago."

The reason? Fear of injury.

"You know, I had too many friends ... seen that achilles pop ... being in a boot for 6 months."

For years, Obama was a regular in pick up games -- and was praised for being a pretty good player. In fact, he once played in a game with LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Magic Johnson, D-Rose and Carmelo Anthony.

Now, it seems those days are over -- but there are reports B.O. wants to own an NBA team after he's done being the leader of the free world.

LeBron James went full Richard Pryor during his speech at the Cavaliers championship parade ... shocking fans and giving TV censors heart attacks.

We can't recall the King ever dropping even a single 4-letter word on camera, but this time on the mic he let loose -- working the stage like a stand-up comedian -- even though kids, including his own, were watching.
