The duo of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving was a blessing on-court. The jewel pair of the Cleveland Cavaliers was a fearsome force to be reckoned with on the floor, eventually winning the Cleveland side a championship in 2016. The two played together for three years between 2014 to 2017, marked by the unlikely return of James to the Cavaliers. Nevertheless, fans continue to reminisce about their days of playing together as the duo brought the best out of one another.
Through countless speculations and turbulences, a reunion of the two superstars of the game has seemed unlikely, with Irving’s recent move to Dallas Mavericks. However, a former teammate of King James recently reignited fans’ dream of a reunion.
