LeBron James Reveals The Truth About Kyrie Irving’s Personality

LeBron James has received the truth about Kyrie Irving’s personality and it is kind of humorous. The Los Angeles Lakers are set to get the season started this month. In exactly 20 days, they will be taking the court against the Golden State Warriors. LeBron and crew look quite a bit different these days. They made some signings in the off season that could have a big impact on the team this year.

But that did not stop LeBron from talking a bit about his former teammate, Kyrie Irving. He went into detail on his former teammate’s personality. Take a look at what he had to say.

“Until you actually get to know Kyrie, you’re going to get a lot of speculation. He’s going to say some stuff and certain things, but people don’t understand maybe what’s the context behind it or where he’s coming from. So, I always say a lot of times athletes, in general, are just in the spotlight where you just hear sound bites or you might see this or hear this, but people don’t really know the kid. And so, until you actually get to know Kyrie, I tell people all the time that if you don’t know someone, you probably shouldn’t speak on him.”

“He’s very private and his circle is very small and he’s not a guy that really extends himself a lot to people that he doesn’t know. Kind of like Kawhi.”

This is pretty interesting stuff. There are a lot of questions surrounding Irving and what he is thinking at any given time. This has shed some light on those questions.

This comes after Russell Westbrook, a new addition to the Lakers, had some things to say about LeBron.

“LeBron is one of the best players to play this game, and his ability to do everything on the floor allows me to just figure it out,” Westbrook said. “I’m coming to a championship-caliber team, and my job is to make his game easy for him, and I’ll find ways to do that. As it pertains to ball-handling, it really doesn’t matter. There’s many different ways you can impact the game without having the ball in your hands. I’ve been able to do that for a number of years, and we’ll figure it out.”
