LeBron James and Kyrie Irving: between highs and lows, always a special feeling

Below is an excerpt from the interview with Kyrie Irving:

“A year after The Decision I was chosen and overwhelmed by that emotional train that in Cleveland followed the departure of the prodigal son, the Chosen One [LeBron James]. From the series: ‘Now we have this nineteen year old here’, who was me, 188 cm tall. I experienced emotions that had nothing to do with me, as I began to take the pressure on my shoulders, I felt the weight of returning Cleveland to the Promised Land. […] I was 22 or 23 when he returned. Would I have done something different, in hindsight? We could talk about it for hours going into detail but the thing I feel like saying to young people is that superheroes need help. The team leader doesn’t always have to take the full burden, which LeBron did at insane levels. “
