CLEVELAND, Ohio – It's not exactly clear how good LeBron James thinks Kyrie Irving can become, beyond, well, really, really good.
"He's much better than an All-Star," James said Monday night, after the Cavaliers walloped the Raptors 122-100 in a game where Irving was so good that James didn't even have to play in the fourth quarter.
"If he continues to play the way he's been playing but also continues to progress in his game over the years he can do something that's very special around this league," James said. "I'm not going to put too much pressure on him, but I know in my head what he can become in this league and tonight he showed it.
