LeBron has been in awe of his former teammate.
The Dallas Mavericks are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011 thanks largely to the play of Kyrie Irving,LeBron James, who won a championship with Irving back in 2016 whey they were on the Cleveland Cavaliers, weighed in on Irving's play during the latest episode of his podcast,.
"He’s the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen," James said of Irving. "He has the best gifts I’ve ever seen of any NBA player. I’ve never seen a guy in my NBA life who feels better at times shooting with his off hand than his primary hand. If Kyrie’s off in a game with his right hand he will literally go exclusively with his left hand. I’ve never seen anything like that."
That's a pretty bold claim coming from arguably one of the two best players to ever play the game. That part of the conversation starts at the 2:05 mark of this video below, but the whole thing is worth a watch, as James breaks down what makes Irving so good: " so f*cking happy...and to watch him continue his growth... and at the same time, I'm so f*cking mad that I am not his running mate anymore... He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen."
