LeBron James apparently still has a soft spot for Kyrie Irving.
While LeBron has been watching the NBA Playoffs from his own couch, he was able to witness Kyrie dominate early and often during Game One against the Celtics on Sunday night.
As Kyrie was going off, a fan chimed in on social media to call out the media pundits who refused to put Kyrie Irving in the list of the top 75 players of all-time.
That’s when LeBron James chimed in.
“Damn shame he ain’t Top 75!” LeBron said on Twitter.
Damn shame he ain’t Top 75! 🤦🏾♂️ https://t.co/jQyMvd0qXO

With LeBron James watching, Kyrie Irving went off in Game One.
The dynamic point guard erupted for 39 points, while leading the game in fourth quarter scoring. Unfortunately for Kyrie and the Nets, they still lost in the waining moments of the game when Jayson Tatum hit a game-winning runner at the buzzer.
Kyrie Irving and the Nets will look to even up the series on Tuesday night.
