LeBron James on former teammate Kyrie Irving: 'He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen'

It's been seven years since LeBron James and Kyrie Irving played together on an NBA team, and James really misses those three seasons as his teammate.

James and Irving led the Cleveland Cavaliers to three straight NBA Finals, winning once in 2016. Both benefited from playing with one another and it's clear that James holds a strong affinity for not only what Irving brought as a teammate but his basketball skills in general.

Speaking on this week's "Mind the Game" podcast with J.J. Reddick, James was asked about his favorite part about Irving as a player and gushed about the influence the Dallas Mavericks guard can have in a game.
