When LeBron James Was Tempted To Beat Kyrie Irving’s Ass

Just months after Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers made the NBA Finals, we were surprised by a report that Irving wanted out of Cleveland. The storyline got fishier and more compelling when LeBron James’ camp was reportedly involved—what we received was a back-and-forth tussle between the camps of the two Cavaliers stars. 

Among the rumors and reports during this storyline, one ridiculous rumor from Stephen A. Smith’s sources seemingly struck everyone’s mind. The report revealed that LeBron was tempted to beat Kyrie’s ass—something you’d only hear on a Wrestling news.

The rumor was however fictitious. LeBron who took his time to Twitter, denied the report and prompted the outlet to get another source.

This Kyrie Irving fiasco though ended in a trade between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers – the Cavs sent Irving to Boston in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a first-round pick. 

LeBron and Kyrie looked like they didn’t hold any grudges with each other since parting ways. Not long after the trade, the All-Star point guard told the media that the he had a conversation with LeBron where he also apologized about his behavior in Cleveland.
