While Kyrie Irving was in full preparation for the NBA finals, LeBron James heaped praise on his former teammate. Pleasant comments for the supporters, but not for Kendrick Perkins.

LeBron James recently shared his disappointment at no longer being Kyrie Irving’s teammate.

We know that he asked the Lakers to recruit him several times in recent years, but Rob Pelinka never managed to close this file. In 2023, during the February deadline, we know that the Nets have also repelled an offensive .

And when we see the performances of Russell Westbrook a few years ago and those of D’Angelo Russell today, we say to ourselves that the presence of Irving could have changed a lot of things in Los Angeles. A title at the end?

Possible. Unfortunately for James and the fans, Kyrie is unlikely to land on the Angelinos one day.

LeBron James criticized after his release

However, not everyone was pleased with James’ comments about his former teammate.

On his recent show on ESPN, Kendrick Perkins decided to take on him, after unleashing himself on Rudy Gobert .

The words aren’t really the problem for Perkins, but the timing. He accuses the King of wanting to make people talk about him before the finals.

Kendrick Perkins on LeBron James : “Here we go again, Bron taking advantage of someone else’s moment…

It’s not about you!” Your team is at home.

We’re talking about the Mavs and the Celtics, but you’re so angry and disappointed that you’re no longer Kyrie Irving’s teammate. Here we go again. »

However, James’ statement seems basic, he who was content to congratulate Kyrie and praise him before a highly anticipated final against the Celtics.

Everyone will have their opinion on the matter, but this is not the last time that this duo will be talked about in the future.

Is LeBron James looking to create buzz before the NBA Finals? Yes for Kendrick Perkins, who didn’t like the King’s outing on Kyrie Irving. We imagine that he is not the only one to think this way.
