Irving wants to reveal James s news?

NBA enters offseason. In a live broadcast online show, Mavericks star Irving talked about his feelings about being a teammate with James before. He said that when he retires, he will tell the truth about some things.

James left the Cavaliers in 2010, and the Cavaliers selected Irving with the No. 1 pick in 2011. James then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and won the NBA championship with Irving in the 2025-16 season. In the summer of 2017, Irving asked for a trade and headed to the Celtics to part ways with James. Then in the summer of 2018, James also left the Cavaliers to join the Lakers again.

While the live broadcast connection, Irving talked about his early years in the Cavaliers' career and his experience as teammates with James. Irving said to this: "Playing with a star like James is a completely different experience. You will be automatically put to the forefront, and there will be a lot of public opinion and things outside the court. At that time, I was just a young man, exploring and moving forward. It's not that I don't like playing with James, but I feel it's time for me to leave, and people have to accept this... You have no idea what happened at that time. When I retire, you will hear the real story."

It should be noted that when the James-European combination was working together, the two did achieve great success, but Irving has always longed for more ball rights and autonomy. He doesn't want to live in the shadow of James all the time, but wants to prove his ability to lead the team as the core of the team. After Irving left the Cavaliers, he said leaving the Cavaliers had nothing to do with James, but because he was ready to start a new chapter in his career. He hopes to take on a more important role in a team and prove his abilities.
