There have been many rumors that it was the presence of LeBron James that ultimately led Kyrie Irving to seek an exit from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
When asked about James, though, the newly-minted Celtics point guard had nothing but positive things to say, calling the opportunity to play with an NBA legend “awesome.”
"I’ve had the unique opportunity to play with one of the greats and it was awesome.”

Irving was obviously ready for this and says all the right things. He has mostly downplayed reports of any rift with James, but at the same time, he’s never outright denied them, either.
