Kyrie Irving can’t help but take subtle shots at LeBron James.
Kyrie, who once forced a trade out of Cleveland because he wanted to get out from under LeBron’s shadow, made an appearance on Kevin Durant’s podcast and made some interesting comments about his experiences in the NBA.
According to Kyrie, he’s happy he teamed up with Durant in Brooklyn because KD is the first teammate he feels he can trust with taking a shot down the stretch.

Of course, NBA fans weren’t happy that Kyrie completely overlooked that he played with LeBron James for a long stretch of his career.

He is an overrated ballhog that doesnt affect winning any bit.
Cleveland reached the finals without him. Won 1 less game.
Boston reached ECF without him 3 times, didnt with him.
Nets won more with DLO. pic.twitter.com/DygC29mtPU
