Move over Lil' Kev and make room for Cleveland's Child. While Richard Jefferson is utilizing his downtime in the playoffs to build up the legend of unofficial Cavs mascot and Kevin Love look-alike Lil' Kev, Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpert, and Jordan McRae are putting in their 10,000 hours in order to become the next best R&B group of all-time. 

In the video above, we first get the trio showing off their talents by singing "Wade in the Water." The group then moved onto "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," which we have to admit is pretty solid. The clip ends with a little solo work from Irving. All in all, their preview video for what we can only hope is a full album of harmonized hits isn't too shabby. Some parts may need a little work, but just like when it comes to basketball, practice makes perfect.

Now, can we make just a few suggestions? Maybe Shumpert could become the Left Eye of the group. A little bit of singing here, dropping some bars there. After all, he did release an album not too long ago. Also, should we expect a feature from Kevin Love? Everyone's seen his alone-in-the-backseat-of-the-van freestyle. With more time to think things through and possibly a little help from Shump, Love could probably lay down a pretty hot 16. And of course, how do you plan to incorporate LeBron James into the equation?
