LeBron James slams report that he wants to fight Kyrie Irving

LeBron James may be unhappy that Kyrie Irving no longer wants to play with him, but that does not mean the four-time NBA MVP has ever thought about getting physical with his teammate over it.

On Tuesday morning, LeBron took to Twitter to rip a report that claims he is so angry with Irving he is tempted to beat the point guard up.

The report came from Stephen A. Smith, who says he was told by sources in LeBron’s camp that James would be “tempted to beat (Irving’s) a–‘ if he saw him. Smith said LeBron is furious over the way Irving has dragged him into the trade demand and made James seem like a difficult teammate.

Whatever the case, there has been plenty of reason to believe LeBron is frustrated this summer. While he seems excited about Cleveland’s newest addition, he was supposedly “blindsided” by Irving’s trade request. Without Irving, the Cavaliers may no longer be the best team in the East. That would be a tough pill for James to swallow if Kyrie is eventually dealt.
