Not everything LeBron James says and does is about Kyrie Irving.
But with Irving’s trade request the NBA’s predominant storyline, it’s hard not to read LeBron’s social-media postings (and Irving’s, for that matter) as indirect shots between the Cavaliers’ stars.
LeBron:
Is LeBron just posting a clean version of a lyric from Drake’s “Portland” because he likes the song? Maybe. Is it directed at someone other than Irving? Perhaps.
But might LeBron just be acting petty and passive-aggressive? That wouldn’t be out of character, either, and this response would fit what we know of the Irving-LeBron breakdown.
