VIDEO: J.R. Smith refuses to give his sneakers to loyal young Warriors' fan

J.R. Smith's zero-chill attitude is in mid-season form.

While at Monday's Wine & Gold Scrimmage at Quicken Loans Arena, the Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard was set to give his sneakers away to a young fan, who just happened to be clad in a Golden State Warriors T-shirt (at a Cavs event, which is so weird.)

Smith had one condition, though - the young fan had to ditch his shirt.

After the fan refused, Smith refused to change his condition, and handed off his LeBron 12s to another young fan, properly-clad in a Cavaliers shirt.

Wearing the enemy's shirt at a Cavs event seems like a bad choice, but that type of loyalty is admirable.
