[Saba Sports News] A resurfaced audio clip from a 2021 game between the Lakers and Nets reveals a fiery exchange between former teammates LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. The two, who won the 2016 NBA championship together with the Cavaliers, faced off as rivals in this game.
Kyrie playfully taunted LeBron, asking, “That’s your best free throw shooter?” LeBron quickly shot back, “Shut your lil a** up.”
This competitive banter highlights their intense rivalry despite their shared history. While they’ve taken different paths—Kyrie now with the Mavericks and LeBron still with the Lakers—their on-court trash talk continues to captivate fans.
