NBA Twitter has gone crazy over LeBron James’ latest comments about Kyrie Irving.
Speaking on the Mind The Game podcast, James straight-up said he wished he was still playing alongside Irving.
“I’m so f*cking happy and so f*cking proud, and to watch him continue his growth… but at the same time I’m so f*cking mad that I’m not his running mate anymore,” he said.
James also spoke about how he would often refer to Irving as ‘the wizard’ due to his seemingly magical abilities with the basketball in his hands.
“I would call Kyrie ‘the wizard’ all the time,” James said. “There was nothing on the basketball floor that Kyrie couldn’t do.”
His comments attracted a whole lot of attention online. It’s long been common knowledge that James wanted to play with Irivng again, but it was another thing for him to come out and admit it like this, especially in such blunt fashion.
Here are some of the best reactions from around the NBA Twittersphere:
Anthony Davis gotta be like really dude lol
