Kyrie Irving and LeBron James joined forces to secure the 2016 NBA title, with Irving delivering a crucial game-winning shot over Stephen Curry. Despite their shared accomplishment, reports emerged indicating that the relationship between Irving and James might have become strained, largely due to the actions or dynamics involving the four-time MVP.

According to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, intriguing revelations have been made regarding the relationship between Kyrie Irving and LeBron James. Lloyd stated, “I watched Irving grow tired of the little brother treatment James applied. Irving didn?t appreciate all the oxygen James absorbed in every room he entered, and James, to be fair, did nothing to fix their broken relationship once Irving asked out of Cleveland.”?

Irving became increasingly frustrated with the way LeBron James treated him, as the massive superstar absorbed the majority of the spotlight, leaving little room for the eight-time All-Star. When Irving submitted a transfer request, LeBron did not intervene to prevent Irving’s departure from Cleveland.
