“The King” continued his courting of Nets star Kyrie Irving on social media.
Following his appearance on HBO’s “The Shop,” Twitter user Cuffs The Legend said: “Kyrie Irving is one of the most fascinating/polarizing people alive. He’s still trying to figure this out. [expletive] out, just like most of us are and it’s a dope story to watch. True rebel. You can see the growth. Dope episode.”
To which LeBron replied“He’s truly so misunderstood! I love seeing his growth throughout the years! Always believed and knew he was so much more and deeper than just a phenomenal basketball player!”
This one definitely got NBA Twitter talking.
“All LeBron does is show love and all he gets in return is hate,” one fan cried.
“Is he misunderstood or does he misunderstand,” asked another of Kyrie.
“Bron gotta stop associating himself with Cuffs.”
“Kyrie will be a Laker next year,” another predicted.
