LeBron James and Kyrie Irving still have love for each other.

The love shown between them is notable for a few reasons. Irving demanded a trade away from Cleveland a year and a half ago and landed with the Celtics. His departure cost the Cavaliers a serious shot at a championship in James’ final season with the team. At the time, Irving wanted a trade because he sought to assert his independence and no longer be second to LeBron.
Now that he’s the leader of a team in Boston, Irving has seen how tough the role is and recently apologized to James for not understanding what he was going through. Their relationship has been repaired enough to the point that Irving reportedly would consider a reunion with James.
