Irving’s apology surprised LeBron

LeBron was with Kevin Love at the time. “LeBron looked down at his phone and he showed us. He was like, ‘I wonder what he wants?’” Love said. LeBron was really appreciative that Irving called him.

The Boston Celtics player explained his reasons to apologize.

“Obviously, this was a big deal for me, because I had to call [LeBron] and tell him I apologized for being that young player that wanted everything at his fingertips, and I wanted everything at my threshold. I wanted to be the guy that led us to a championship,” Irving said.

“I wanted to be the leader. I wanted to be all that, and the responsibility of being the best in the world and leading your team is something that is not meant for many people. [LeBron] was one of those guys who came to Cleveland and tried to show us how to win a championship, and it was hard for him. Sometimes getting the most out of the group is not the easiest thing in the world.”

Well, at least this turned out well.
