LeBron James spent three seasons alongside Kyrie Irving with the Cleveland Cavaliers before the latter left the team to join the Boston Celtics in 2017. The duo led the Cavs to three NBA finals, winning one in 2016. Brendan Haywood was a part of the Cavs during the 2014-15 season and played alongside James and Irving.
In an appearance on the “Run Your Race Podcast” on Thursday, Haywood spoke about a game during that season where Kyrie Irving claimed LeBron James needed to learn how to handle the ball from him:
“We're playing against the Spurs. I think Kyrie's out that game. And Bron, like, Bron tried to go behind the back. (Manu) Ginobili picks him for the game. And he said it loud enough so people on the bench can hear. He was just talking to me but he truly meant it. He said, ‘Ah, Bron's got to get with me in the offseason and work on his handles.’”
