According to rumours, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving have discussed the possibility of getting back together with the Los Angeles Lakers
The two previously played three seasons together in Cleveland, reaching the Finals each year and taking home the championship in 2015–16.
There is no denying that James and Irving complemented each other very well on the court. The outcomes are self-evident. However, many people thought that Kyrie did not enjoy being LeBron’s backup, and their friendship appeared to have soured.

Given that Kyrie is still under contract for the upcoming season with a cap hit of more than $36 million, other deals would probably need to be done in order for this to materialise. What would the Lakers do with Russell Westbrook, who is owed a staggering $47 million for the upcoming season?
He might be sent to Brooklyn by the Lakers to meet up with Kevin Durant, his old teammate from OKC. Whatever transpires, the NBA offseason will undoubtedly be another exciting one, with lots of player movement and intrigue.
It will be interesting to watch LeBron and Kyrie play together again, but it won’t be easy, and there will be a lot of moving parts.
Who is to say they can’t yet accomplish more? – Max Kellerman compares LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant and claims that their feud is still ongoing.
LeBron and Kyrie haven’t stopped winning together yet, according to sports media personality Max Kellerman on ESPN’s “Keyshawn, JWill and Max.” He makes analogies to the turbulent breakup of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
“Shaq and Penny both acknowledge, “Damn, we were just young and immature,” when you hear them converse. They ought to have accomplished more, you think when you hear Shaq and Kobe converse. LeBron and Kyrie are somewhat similar, but who’s to say they can’t achieve more? It hasn’t ended yet.”
Shaq departing Penny Hardaway and the Orlando Magic was the subject of Max Kellerman’s comment. Contract disagreements emerged as a result of the Magic’s decision to pay Hardaway first, which led to O’Neal’s departure.
After sharing three championships, Shaq and Kobe also experienced a very public falling out.
