Three years ago, LeBron James blindsided the Miami Heat, when he agreed to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Just four years prior to that, he blindsided the Cavs, when he went on national TV to announce his decision to join the Heat. Now, he is on the other side of that feeling.
LeBron James returned to Cleveland, in part, to play with Kyrie Irving, his successor as franchise player. To form a core nucleus, the Cavaliers traded first overall draft pick, Andrew Wiggins, to Minnesota in exchange for Kevin Love. Now, Kyrie Irving wants out.
Reports surfaced, this afternoon, claiming LeBron James was not only blindsided by Kyrie Irving’s decision, but he wants to do something about it. These reports claimed that LeBron James was “tempted to beat his a**.” But, LeBron James was quick to shut that down, letting it be known his feelings are nothing like that.
