LeBron Fans Attack Kyrie Irving After Saying Kevin Durant Is 1st Teammate He Trusts to Hit Clutch Shots (TWEETS)

Even though Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have yet to play an NBA game together as teammates, Irving already has high praise for the two-time NBA Finals MVP.

Appearing on Durant’s The ETCs podcast, Irving said Durant is the first teammate he’s had that he trusts to be able to make a clutch shot while trailing late in the fourth quarter.

10 seconds left. Who you got taking the shot?? ?

Irving did note that he wasn’t trying to slight any of his previous teammates, but he “felt guilty” when he wasn’t taking the last shot in games because “I felt like I was the best option.”

Even still, his comments were enough for LeBron fans to go on a rampage as they took to Twitter to fire back at him.

Friendly reminder that Kyrie Irving has a 154-191 record without LeBron.

He is an overrated ballhog that doesnt affect winning any bit.

Cleveland reached the finals without him. Won 1 less game.

Boston reached ECF without him 3 times, didnt with him.

Was Kyrie on the court when LeBron did this to Kawhi in the NBA finals?

Kyrie Irving is amusingly arrogant. He disrespects LeBron James and then ignores the fact that Boston made the East Finals without him in 2018 (injured) and in 2020 (gone) but lost in 2nd round with him in 2019. Oh, and he’s only played 70 games 3 times in his 9-year career. https://t.co/77xV3uQd58
