Being told that "leaving LeBron James's arms is a storm", Kyrie Irving countered

Over the past week, a social media post has pointed out that since the day Kyrie Irving asked to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017, the defender has had little to no success in the Playoffs.

Prior to that, Kyrie was a teammate of LeBron James for three seasons, all of which reached the NBA Finals and won once in 2016. However, the defender still wants to be traded to another team in the summer of 2017.

Since then, he has played for 3 different clubs in the span of 6 years and has never once enjoyed the feeling of success in the postseason.

2017-18: Injury, miss Playoffs (Boston Celtics)

2018-19: Lost to Milwaukee Bucks in round 2 (Boston Celtics)

2019-20: Injury, miss Playoffs (Brooklyn Nets)

2020-21: Injury, 3-4 loss in 2nd round to Milwaukee Bucks (Nets)

2021-22: Losing to the Boston Celtics 0-4 in the first round (Nets)

2022-23: Slip both play-ins and Playoffs (Dallas Mavericks)

While "Uncle Drew" wore three different colors, LeBron played another year for the Cleveland Cavaliers and then moved to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Also in these 6 seasons, "King James" won the East once, was crowned the NBA champion once with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, missed the Playoffs 2 times (in 2019, 2021) and reached the Western finals in Vietnam. most recent season.

"Leaving LeBron James's arms is a storm", this statement is quite accurate when it comes to Kyrie Irving's last 6 seasons.

Responding to the post on Twitter, Kyrie said: "Just pin this tweet and see what happens in the next few years."

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were teammates for three seasons (2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17), all three seasons winning the East and reaching the NBA Finals together.

The duo helped bring home the first NBA championship trophy in the more than 50-year history of the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as Cleveland's first championship in all American professional sports.

However, these two players "went their separate ways" when Kyrie Irving asked to be traded to another team in the summer of 2017. Since this decision, Irving has played for three clubs including the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks.

Personally, Kyrie Irving still has a good performance. He's averaged 25.8 points, 5.9 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game since leaving the 2017 Cavaliers. In six years, Kyrie has made four All-Star appearances and two appearances. Typical All-NBA lineup.

But collectively, as mentioned above, the 1992 defender has never played in the regional finals and of course could not return to the NBA Finals in the last 6 seasons.

It should be noted that Kyrie's team had one time in the Eastern finals (Celtics in 2018), but then he suffered a knee injury and was forced to sit out.

For those who love Irving, now the only thing they can do is "wait a few more years", as he shared on Twitter.

Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks just missed the Playoffs in the last season, so they still have a lot of work to do to improve the quality of the squad.
