Kyrie never gonna get away from questions about lebron no matter what he does "Kyrie congrats on your new baby. Do you think you'll take a similar approach to raising him like lebron did for you?" "Kyrie congrats on the record 60 points tonight. Do you think Lebron would be proud of you if he were watching?" "Kyrie welcome to Boston. Did lebron ever tell you how great the Italian food is here?" "Happy Father's Day kyrie. What are your plans with lebron tonight?"

For the first time ever: Jason Whitlock is right on a subject
LeBron ain't his daddy, Kyrie doesn't have to inform anybody except management
Jim Jackson is on point. Kyrie and LeBron obviously aren't that close like that. Like he said, if you are really boys then you may incline to let him know.

LeBron does it at FREE AGENCY, Kyrie had to tell management if he wanted to leave bc he is still under a 2 year contract. So this notion that Kyrie did the right by going to management and LeBron didn't is bs. You got to take the condition in consideration or you will be telling half the truth.
Obviously Kyrie ain't fuckn wit LeBron and his shadow ,they forget that Kyrie was the clutch shooter on the Cavs now LeBron got to find a new scapegoat when he folds under pressure

Jeremiah Calahan we saw Lebron without Kyrie and they were one call from going up 3-1 and they also didn't have K Love. We saw Kyrie without Lebron and he was in the lottery every year then we saw the Cavs when Lebron rested and they looked terrible.

Because he's the only one there that's (bitter) against Kyrie's request to be traded, and he's the only one there that's always praising Lebron.
It's real simple. If Kyrie and Lebron were tight, then Kyrie would have told him. If their friendship was at odds, which it obviously is, then he wouldn't, and as such, he didn't.

Why does everyone think everybody likes Lebron. Lebron may be the one of the worst teammates to play with.
If franchises don't inform their players on why they are being traded then why should a player be required to tell their franchise or former teammates. Real friends will understand it's a business or they already know what's finna go down.

Colin is so off on LBJ. Kyrrie was 18-19-20 on a terrible team. It was not Only LBJ that came. It was other players to
"Hit the game winning shot" 🎶
These are grown men, pro athletes, and millionaires. This whole phone call issue is really weak. Same with Durant and Westbrook. It's just silly. There must be better topics. Whitlock was on point though
“What did LeBron win without Kyrie in Cleveland?” So we gon act like LeBron didn’t take trash to a Finals and Kyrie couldn’t even make playoffs?
Loved Whitlock's comment on how lebron always gets the power and doesnt share it.
Whitlock well said.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe that dude is saying LeBron didn't tell Wade he was leaving, it sounds so stupid for someone say that if you look at how close they are.

It's different people free agent is different from still having 2 years and a option!!!
Weren't people upset when Durant didn't tell Westbrook he was leaving OKC?
Why people always bring up the game winning shot but not the block that gave them possession for that shot, or the 3 LeBron hit right before Kyrie to tie the game up and put them in the possession to get a game winner, or how LeBron single handly went on a scoring run to bring them back in the game.... "But Kyrie dropped 40 though!" So did LeBron....twice "But Kyrie had crazy stats" LeBron almost averaged a triple double, and actually got 1 game7. "But Kyrie is smaller, he's a point guard" Westbrook did it....and for a whole season
D wade knew. Pat Riley didn't know and that's why he was mad at Bron & Wade.
Of course he should've told about that to the guy that after the finals told him "we'll back"
Remember "The Announcement" " Irving owns nothing to James,
LeBron controls the league? Yeah. I bet he told KD to go to the Warriors.

This is literally the best conversation on this matter period! Finally someone willing to be honest and not ride LeBron ! It's sickening how the media givea passes to this man just so he can carry the league! Jim Jackson had great points as well.
Lebron made it to the finals with Bobbie Gibson as his other best scoring option. When he was 21, let's not get things twisted. His team was a top 5 team with no one and out of high school, all before he teamed up with anyone

What he was getting at is, Lebron didn't win a ring. For all his greatness, Lebron could not and can not win a ring without the likes of Chris Bosh, Wade and Kyrie. You know that, we know that and Lebron knows that.
Lmao Colin's a good sport
You don't have to say good morning to your colleagues at work. You could just ignore them and go on with your day, even be good at what you do. There's no obligation and you have no interest in doing it, you just do it because you know it's the right thing to do. Same goes here, Kyrie spent years with these guys, he shared a lot with them, even won a title with them, and he leaves without saying a thing, doesn't even see why he should. That dude cold as ice.
Why everybody keep forgetting about that free throw bron hit right after the shot from kyrie
I agree with Kyrie... But since Jason Whitlock agree with Kyrie too I no longer agree 😂😂😂
LeBron's explanation for not telling Wade was that he didn't want him to have to bear the secret, it's different to Kyrie
0:40 - 0:50 Colin knew it all along 👀
Watched for Jim Jackson's opinion... everyone else is not worth the time!
two wrongs dont make a right
Bring Chris back. He is the only person who speaks objectively about Lebron on this show
Why do these characters always associate Lebron to the story.
Why they acting as if lebron cares if kyrie tells him
People are saying LeBron shouldn't be upset and Kyrie doesn't owe LeBron anything....and yet all LeBron has said is that he is going to "miss that guy". I know their job is to create stories but it goes on for days and weeks and it's all just speculation.
I'm sitting here laughing at the comments supporting LeBron. It's common knowledge that if you have a problem with a coworker you don't tell them you let management know and let them deal with it. They were COWORKERS!!! NOT FRIENDS!!!
Jim J. . . you are own point about kyrie
Whitlock is sounding crazy ... and that's even not surprising
kyrie's only other option was waiting it out.
Kyrie doesn’t owe Lebron a reason for leaving.
I just can't wait to see Kyrie "carry" the Celtics 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LeBron and his fans should be the last people on earth to complain about someone leaving his team. It's ridiculous.
He was just as obligated to tell his OTHER teammates about his departure as he was Lebron. Last time I checked the Cavs were a team... in a team sport.

Wait so just cuz bron didn't tell Wade he was leaving that means that it's ok for Kyrie to do it? Foh two wrongs don't make a right
Colin said when kevin durant left that he owed westbrook nothing not even a phone call but when kyrie leaves lebron he owes him a call or something

"What was Kyrie's record before LeBron?" Is the dumbest question I've ever heard! Kyrie was going into his 4th year and Cleveland was TERRIBLE I think him and Dion could've been something nice plus A. Wiggins
How is lebron getting hate 🤔
that is not true because LeBron said he did not tell Dwyane Wade he was leaving Miami and we all know they're really great friends
You could see in the interview how Kyrie is tired of his whole career being associated with LeBron. Don't mean I think he's right though lmao
People may not like Lebron's or KD's moves but they exercised free agency. Kyrie just wanted out with 2 years left on contract. Those shouldn't be compared. Yeah cavs could have kept playing him, but we all know it'll poison the locker room with that hanging above their heads and significantly lowered his trade value in the near future.
A point you're all missing is kyrie wasn't a free agent he was a member of your team, so there should have been some respect and he knew there would be questions as to why he wants out A free agent has already expressed his decision to weigh his options so from a business standpoint you wouldn't tell anyone because you're open to other possibilities
I thought Lebron and Wade was on a private jet before he left Miami didn't he tell him he was leaving during that? Idk I may be wrong but I remember something like that.
LEBRON TOOK HIS TEAM TO THE FINALS WITHOUT KYRIE...

I hate how people say lebron didnt tell wade about leaving like thats it. Lebron said that he wasnt gonna put a secret like that in a friends hand knowing that he would have to keep it from the team he plays for. Lebron knew the heat would have expected wade to tell them if he was leaving. Different situations
I think Kyrie had two years left on his deal. This whole he went to management deal was because wanted to traded. 2009/2010 Lebron was a free agent and had no need to talk to Dan Gilbert.
Without Kyrie Lebron wouldn't have that third ring
