    Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recently expressed deep admiration for Dallas Mavericks player Kyrie Irving, calling him “the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen” on the Mind the Game podcast. James also candidly shared his frustration over no longer being teammates with Irving, highlighting a past rift that had cooled their relationship for years.

    “I'm so f*cking mad that I am not his running mate anymore… He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen.”

    The backstory of their strained relationship stems from Irving’s request to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017, a move that led to a significant period where the two barely communicated. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst detailed on the Get Up show how their relationship deteriorated after Irving’s departure from Cleveland, but noted that in recent years, the two stars have mended their friendship.

    Windhorst revealed that LeBron had been keen on reuniting with Irving, pushing the Lakers to attempt a trade for him on multiple occasions. The Lakers made a competitive offer to acquire Irving at the trade deadline last year; however, the Mavericks presented a better deal, leading to Irving’s move to Dallas instead of Los Angeles.

    Irving’s time in Dallas started off rocky but eventually stabilized, helping propel the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals where they are set to face the Boston Celtics. Despite the Lakers having a chance to sign Irving in the last offseason when he was a free agent, they chose to prioritize other signings that contributed to their Western Conference Finals appearance, leaving Irving to re-sign with the Mavericks.

    While Windhorst speculated that the chances of Irving and James playing together again are slim, he didn’t completely rule out the possibility, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the NBA. This ongoing narrative underscores the complex dynamics of player relationships and team strategies in professional sports.
