J.R. Smith and Matthew Dellavedova Share Tender Moment After Cavs Win

June 9, 2015 by

Make no mistake about it–Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith was one relieved man following his team’s Game 2 victory over the Golden State Warriors. By Smith’s own admission, he played less than spectacular in support of his teammates, namely LeBron James and Timofey Mozgov. That duo’s Herculean effort kept the Cavs in the game and, eventually, helped them secure the victory and level the series.

While Smith didn’t fail on a Stephen Curry-like level, he came awfully close with a series of costly mistakes. From Smith’s Instagram account–

Thank God for teammates cause I played like pure s&@$!! #OnToTheNext #TheLand #TheFinals

You sure did, J.R.! Nonetheless, the Cavs came out on top and Smith was in celebration mode following the game. Perhaps none felt the love more from the streaky sharpshooter than fellow Cleveland guard Matthew Dellavedova. After a radical handshake exchange with James Jones, Smith slowed things down, dimmed the lights and had one of the most bro-mantic connections of all time with the Aussie.

From Bleacher Report–

A beautiful moment between true bros. Not since the Dillon & Dutch Reunion from Predator have we seen such a poignant moment between two men–
