Irving recalls his career as a Cavalier: Never hates being a teammate with James

On August 12, Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving recalled the situation he faced at the Cleveland Cavaliers early in his career and his relationship with his teammate LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving admitted: "My career started with the Cavaliers. I love Cleveland very much. I am grateful for everything this city has done for me. But at the same time, I have always hoped to choose the team I want to play for. Because young players develop a lot of bad habits when playing for teams with lost results, which is also the problem I face when I was young." Irving said that he had many bad habits and did not know how to win, nor was he willing to face failure. "I admit this. I know I have to take responsibility, but I was too young at that time and had many problems. These all stem from constant losses, and I only care about scoring points by myself."

In addition, Irving also said that he never hated fighting side by side with LeBron James. "I just simply feel that it's time for me to leave. People should accept this fact. Don't always think about digging deep into the so-called insider. In the final analysis, I think this is the time for me to leave. I don't care how others will remember me, because it's my own choice."

Kyrie Irving played for the Cavaliers for six seasons, averaging 21.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
