KYRIE CALLED LEBRON--stop the presses !!!


COSMIC SHIFT IN THE BASKETBALL UNIVERSE
My take on this is that Kyrie is having a slight shift towards maturity  something LeBron did a lot earlier in his life when he took on the support of his mother as a  teenager.  LeBron made  being a great player and a great team leader look easy.  Now that Kyrie is trying it on, he sees that it is hard because  the team members may not be thrilled to play second- or third or fifth fiddle to the  great Kyrie. 

 When I see my  beloved CELTICS in disarray I hear the wail of wounded egos.
Here's how the sports news  covered it.
Kyrie Irving admitted Wednesday night he recently reached out to LeBron James to both apologize for past misunderstandings and ask his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate for advice about leading a young Boston Celtics team.
 How did LeBron react to Kyrie's call?
Thanks to some great reporting, we have an idea: According to The Athletic's Joe Vardon, James was at an "upscale pizzeria" in Los Angeles on Sunday night when he got the call from Irving.
At the table with LeBron: none other than another ex-Cavs teammate, Kevin Love.
"LeBron looked down at his phone and he showed us,” Love told Vardon. “He was like, ‘I wonder what he wants?"
You can't make this stuff up.
The Cavs played the Lakers in L.A. on Sunday night, which explains the incredible coincidence that James was with his ex-Cavs teammate of several years when a third ex-teammate called him out of the blue.
LeBron's agent, Rich Paul, also was at the pizzeria -- as was the head of Nike basketball, Lynn Merritt, and several others -- and showed James' call history to Love, according to Vardon.
"Yeah, I haven’t really absorbed all of it yet,” Love told Vardon. “I was always close with Kyrie, we had a good relationship.
"I don’t know, I was having some vino and enjoying the night when LeBron showed me the call.”
James called Irving back "in private" and was "very appreciative" the ex-Cavs guard reached out to him, a source close to James told Vardon.

STAY TUNED AS WE WATCH HOW THE LAKERS ARE  WINNING GAMES WITHOUT LeBron..Kyrie could tell him where that leads
--MUTINY !
