'Kyrie Never Really Looked at Bron' – Former Cleveland Cavaliers Player Comments on Kyrie Irving’s and LeBron James’ Dynamic

It was one of the biggest “What Ifs” in the NBA. “What if Irving stayed in Cleveland?”

This question will remain a mystery to most fans. Interestingly, former Cleveland Cavaliers center Kendrick Perkins had an interesting take on the dynamic of James and Irving.

“He idolized and looked up to Kob [Bryant] so much that he actually wouldn’t give Bron a chance to be like that big brother figure, even when y’all won it,” Perkins said. “I wasn’t there, but I’m just keeping it real. Kyrie never really looked at Bron as that big brother. Kob was that big brother to Kyrie.

“I was like, damn, they tripping. They could have ran off a few more, but he was tired of being under the shadows. Bron could never really get that arm around Kyrie, ’cause Kyrie really didn’t allow him to in my opinion.”

Former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach admits that they tried to go after Paul George

The Cleveland Cavaliers attempted to bolster their squad’s offensive capabilities when the Warriors acquired Durant. The player they targeted was Paul George, according to former head coach Ty Lue. He appeared in the recent episode of “Club Shay Shay,” where he revealed their attempt to trade for George.

“Yeah, when he was in Indiana,” Lue revealed. “We tried to get him… We tried.”

The host, former NFL star Shannon Sharpe, said that potentially adding George to Cleveland would’ve been enough to beat the Warriors.
