Kyrie on his time with Lebron on the Cavs - “Bron was behind the scenes, what’s his nickname LeGM. He put the squad together”
LeGM finally confirmed
Outjerked by Kyrie
KyLe
This interview is like 3 years old.
Even longer lmao
and Kyrie is not exactly the source of accurate info on any other topic, no reason to think he would be here either

He tried to do the same with the Nets and messed it up.
To be fair it would have maybe worked if they stayed healthy and weren’t divas
Probably would have worked without Covid lol
Or Giannis breaking Kyrie’s ankle
They gonna kill you for speaking the truth
I know what sub I’m in. Surprised the comment isn’t downvoted.
The Giannis love has plummeted the last 2 years or so.
Nets fans have been hating Giannis since that moment. Everyone else is just catching up.
(Insert all 12 of us Nets fans joke here)
Ya’ll are legion.
Jersey, huh? Cmon.
It’s a glorified crew.
Or Dinwiddie snapping his leg
Or Harden the iron man blowing out his hammy on a normal drive
Yup. I think some people don’t even understand just how badly COVID screwed us. Our front office tried to fight the mandate, but NYC wasn’t budging. Kyrie wasn’t budging either.
And so because of that, Kyrie couldn’t play home games. Which hurt the chemistry. Which made the locker room upset. Which eventually forced Harden out. And so on and so forth.
If we were the Kansas City Nets, we could’ve won a championship.
Your front office also monumentally mishandled that situation lmao. They should have just called Harden’s bluff and forced him to stay (especially considering no one had a ton of cap space the following off-season) instead of panic trading him for a holding out Ben Simmons.
I half agree. I agree that trading him for Simmons was a terrible idea. But trading him in general was the right move. He had already quit on us on the court, you could tell in his play. He was mentally done. You don’t want that in a locker room.
tbf ben simmons was a mystery box. he could’ve been anything, he could’ve even been prime ben simmons, which would’ve made the nets really good, possibly even better fit than with james harden
lol how bad “covid” screwed us. so the blame is on covid not on kyrie?! the delusions
Oh, you have no idea how much I think Kyrie deserves the blame. Don’t read my comment thinking Kyrie wasn’t to blame either.
got you, my bad🙏
Covid didn’t screw you, Kyrie did. He could have just gotten the shot like a normal person.
would they be willing to live in kansas city tho?
I feel like they wanted to play in NY but just not for the knicks
just how badly COVID screwed us
I mean, COVID hit all of us. It was Kyrie that specifically screwed y’all.
Biased but I think without the break the Bucks really have a shot in 2019-20. 30-5 Home record.
Probably would’ve worked if Shoe Sizes are smaller (edit)

KD buzzer beater turns into a three instaed of a long two
Or if KD stepped an inch away before taking that shot
Gobert out here playing crazy D on and off the court.
If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle
Its not if tho, those 3 barely lose games when they play together.
Harden-Irving records = 16-3
Harden Irving KD = 12-3
I still maintain it’s the best offensive talent big 3 I’ve ever seen
They were unguardable, especially with a sniper in joe harris and a rim roller in claxton to complete the starting 5.
Joe Harris was a sniper but dude had crazy playoff yips.
Worst time to have a shooting slump. Sometimes being too open hurts your jumpshot rhythm. That extra second to think about it versus catching and elevating into it.
I think it had more to do with him having an increased role that destroyed him. When he had all 3 stars healthy, Joe was basically a 50% 3 point shooter. He was doing just fine until Harden and Kyrie got hurt. That pressure got to him and he folded. It ain’t for everyone.
This team will always be underrated when it comes to all time teams because of this series. They basically only ever lost to Colin “Steph Curry Michael Jordan” Sexton in there first two games together.
Then the other loss was a COVID protocol mixup. Harden and Kyrie were losing to the Raptors, KD joined off the bench for the first time ever in his career. Raptors lead evaporated in no time then the league said KD is ineligible to play despite testing negative, so they lost. It was a fuck up.
Go back and watch those misses. It was divine intervention that those shots didn’t fall you’re talking 50 percent of the ball falling in then going out
Kyrie was by far the biggest diva of the three though so he can’t really complain lol
Hey man, Kyrie was so brave to be a “voice for the voiceless”
^(or something)
If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we’d probably diagnose it as an eating disorder
and weren’t divas
That’s like saying Westbrook on the Lakers would’ve worked if he was a completely different person. Them being divas was a known quality, which goes to prove that the idea was bad from the jump.
Isn’t it all just down to a shoe size?
it would have worked if Kyrie didn’t do some stupid stuffs and KD letting it slide
Or if it wasn’t in New York. We need more NBA teams in shitholes like OKC, MEM, SLC, etc. where people don’t care about racism and public health.
No wonder he said he wasnt mad at it. Free agents are free agents. GM’s who’s sole job it is to put squads together mess it up all the time.
The big 3 went 13-3 together when all healthy.
Not just GM, but a co-coach too
KyGM doesn’t have a good ring to it
To be fair LeBron’s IQ is like double Irving’s
As if KD didn’t have equal parts to blame for that lol
Bro is snitching on his father. No family loyalty nowadays smh
LeGM clearly wasnt good enough of a father figure to his son Kyrie
Is it really snitching if we already knew LeGM was a thing?
You don’t ever admit the existence of this thing, ever!
This thing of ours
I had this thing to call my own. Just one slip and it was gone.
No he’s just giving his dad props. Two jobs and still spending time with his kids
Hahaha that legit made me laugh
Lebron abandoned his son to go chase his own goals. Why should there be loyalty
Nah this son left first.
Nah you right. I should have specified which son
Only a father figure
LeBron already said he didn’t care about family when he went to Philly, all bets are off now
Bruh this is from years ago
4 years to be exact. People see something and think it’s brand new cos its new to them all the time lmao
can you imagine some people aren’t chronically online? crazy
sir this is reddit
I can, but they’re not in this sub.
Does that change what he’s saying somehow?
Yo I was like damn the I Am Athlete squad back together and looking good?!
Kyrie just doesn’t like LeBron lol. And LeBron on the other hand seems to be really fond of him.
Younger brother/older brother type shit
Or dad who hasn’t raised his son but really wants to connect later in life and son who despises his father for leaving his pregnant mom. I bet that’s the vibes Kyrie has.
What?
Basically:
LeBron Jame is Kyrie Irving father
I dunno
LEBRON JAMES LEFT KYRIES PREGNANT MOTHER
Yall should be writing fan fiction on some dark corner of the internet but you found the NBA first
I don’t think that’s fair, he wasn’t negative here tbh.
He wasn’t at all. He literally said he wasn’t mad at it but some people hear what they want to hear
I saw it more as him realizing theres levels to being a star player. It was more like a learning experience for ky.
How do you hear “I wasn’t mad at it” and come to this
But I’m confused on how you got that thought from this clip? Lmfao like what the fuck did he say negative or off putting about LeBron in this clip?
This is from 4 years ago mate
Honestly don’t think most ppl on this sub ever have real life human interaction if this is what they get from it… and this is old af
Weird
Why are you acting like you know anything you bum, sybau.
Take LeBron’s dick out ya mouth and get some wet wipes for your bloody knees
It’s not that serious😭
It seems like you’re the one thinking about Bron more than us lol
The post is literally about LeBron you idiot
A fucking nobody acting like you genuinely know shit about these athletes. Loser behavior.
Can’t even be bothered to let your post stay up you pussy
So now you know Bron? What a baseless claim lol
“Leave the billionaire player GM alone!😡”
Also why are you acting like insiders and former teammates of LeBron don’t say the same about him?
Why did you delete your other comment, and talking tough? Better delete this one too.
How am I talking tough? Are you that sheltered that merely making a rebuttal is talking tough?
U Bum
Take LeBron’s dick out ya mouth and get some wet wipes for your bloody knees It’s not that serious😭
This is you. I just think it’s a bit ironic, after deleting your other comment.
Edit: Blocking is for harassment, not slight disagreements. What a snowflake.
https://imgur.com/a/qkfuX2J
Yes, that’s me after another person specifically told me to “sybau”. That is a rebuttal, learn what one is
And you can tell me how ironic me blocking you is in the meantime😭🫵
People would hear this then ignore it the first time. For good or bad, LeBron put his whole teams together himself basically
It was obvious that it was happening, but people wouldn’t criticize him for forcing bad moves.
bron still gets shit for the russ to the lakers fiasco lol
deservedly
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10009139-report-lebron-westbrook-ad-met-at-james-home-this-month-about-playing-for-lakers
Wrong. Lebron wanted Damian Lilliard, and got Westbrook instead.
Do you think that Westbrook was forced upon him or something? LeGM pivoted to Westbrook after the Lillard trade fell through.
Obviously not but it was a compromise pick. They couldn’t get Dame or Kawhi so they settled on Westbrook. It wasn’t a LeBron only decision either.
They were supposed to get Derozan but Lakers front office cheaped out on him. Derozan ended up having his best season ever that year in Chicago
Nah people usually blame Rob for it , which is fair but wrong since as you pointed out , Bron wanted Russ to the Lakers
I always heard that Rob had already worked out deals for DeRozen and Heild, but Jeanie wouldn’t give Demar the 3 year contract thats required for a sign and trade. So then Rob pivoted to the Westbrook deal that LeBron and AD wanted
Lebron has ptsd during his 1st stint with the cavs.
and he got the cavs their first and only chip lmfao for a gm he’s pretty elite
And they won a title because of it
Is this news? This sub is 80% yapping about LeBron. I wonder what happens when he’s gone
Ever seen a cricket riding a tumbleweed?
We will be free
Yapping about Wemby
Jordan’s been gone for decades and he still gets brought up. I expect the same for LeBron
move on to yapping about wemby
I’ve been wondering the same thing
LeBron will never be “gone” yea he’ll stop playing at some point (God knows when that will be) but a player of his stature and his love of attention, he’ll be a media personality for years to come. Bettter than Draymond for sure.
Kyrie know what he doing saying this now
pretty sure this is from May
May 2022
Why are we posting pre covid interviews?
It’s common knowledge, but it’s good to have an insider confirm it.
this was confirmed at the parade speech lol
LeGM, back at it!
Kyrie ist the last guy i would believe anything he says
I truly believe a Kyrie ring was worse for the sport than KDs.
Nah it’s Rich Paul now.
I mean is this new news
The pod itself is 4 years old lmao
Well maybe he should be thankful because he’s the only GM that helped him get a championship.
So who is he throwing under the bus, David Griffin or Lebron? Because allegedly David Griffin left CLE because he wanted to prove he was responsible for the Csvs success. Also, Kyrie was rumored to be on the Cavs because of Griffin and left partially because Griffin left.
So what is Kyrie doing with these comments?
Confirming what we all already knew but some of us didn’t want to admit.
I wouldn’t look that deeply into a snippet of a 1 hour pod from 4 years ago. He’s just chopping it up about his career don’t be fooled by the title above
He’s clearly complimenting LeBron here
LeGM back at it!
Is there more detail? Or is he just memeing
The context was why he left Cleveland.
He said that was not his team, he was drafted by Cleveland and was projected to be the key of the franchise, and then Lebron announce his return to Cleveland.
All the roster that they get after Lebron back, that was because Bron(LeGM). So he feels out of place, at that time he wasnt mature enough to navigate that. IF he was mature enough there was never any doubt that they’ll still play together.
It’s finally confirmed (LeGM)
This pod is 4 years old
Basically Bron is in charge of everything and everyone.
Thats a sick shirt
But let his worshippers tell it he never did this. Such delusion should be studied
Kyrie Irving is always speaking facts!
LeGM makes me laugh everytime. So good, and I like Bron
He knew exactly what he is saying and trying to interpret lmao
Bron stans have tried to deny this for years when it was patently obvious. Glad this is finally confirmed 100%.
This was from 2019
Whatever happened to this podcast?
Everyone left Brandon Marshall due to money/disagreement on the direction of it.
Fred/Channing formed The Pivot
Ocho started Nightcap with Shannon
Shady had a podcast with DJacc called 2510
what does the guy that everybody left do now ? can’t leave me on a cliffhanger
He (Brandon Marshall) was last “seen” being criticized on social media for making his young son run at 2am as punishment.
The podcast “I Am Athlete” turned into a youtube shorts content page.
damn!, prayers to all parties involved
Kyrie goes to the Finals 3 times with the Cavs and wins the only ring of his career
Kyrie observes - in 2022, and therefore before he got to the Finals again with the Mavs - that LeBron put those Cavs teams together behind the scenes
/r/nba: lol Kyrie hates LeBron and is calling him out
What’s it like having LeBron as your new father Kyrie?
Best GM Kyrie ever had
LeYou’reNotMyRealDaddy
Please let this be the nail in the coffin, this is beyond obvious.
Barkley was right.
Nail in the coffin for what? LeBron literally got a title on every team he played on sounds like it worked out great for bron
Worked didn’t it? Every season you were there with him, you were in the Finals.
i mean, lebron is better than half the GMs in the league, at the minimum.
I can see why nobody watches this show lol
And they won one, woulda won more if KD didn’t cupcake it.
Wait. Bronstans told us it was all bullshit…
As RJ said “when bron waived me”
Bron goes to teams and the teams get a ring. Philly will be no different.
It’s crazy that Kyrie is probably lebrons 2nd favorite teammate behind Wade but Kyrie don’t fw him 💀
You are misinterpreting Kyrie. He didn’t say this in a bad way. He gave him credit for getting all the pieces…Shump, JR, Channing, etc
Snitched
LeGM was all good until he wanted to ship out Kyrie for PG13
