Kyrie Irving’s spring media tour rolled on Monday with some unexpected introspection.
The mercurial Nets star made an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast and expressed regret for blowing up his partnership with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers after just one NBA title. Irving, who forced a trade after the team upset the Golden State Warriors in the finals, believes the Cavs would have won more championships if not for his immaturity.
WFAN’s Boomer Esiason thinks there is an angle here.
“Listening to the Kyrie Irving thing yesterday, and this come-to-Jesus moment about how he left Cleveland and he talked to LeBron, blah, blah, blah – it sounds like someone wants to get to LA,” Esiason said Tuesday morning on-air.
