I wonder if LeBron James is going to see this and tweet the Michael Jordan “… and I took that personally” meme.
Because Kyrie Irving had something to say about LeBron James’ free-throw shooting after the Los Angeles Lakers star missed a technical early in the loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night.
“That’s your best free throw shooter?” he was heard saying, thanks to the TNT mics on the court at the Staples Center.
The punchline of course is that James is a pretty mediocre free-throw shooter — he’s over 70 percent this season! That’s … something! — and, it turns out, particularly on technicals.

LeBron shooting technicals despite being very bad at them is one of my favorite little things about the NBA https://t.co/HsiocfD35s pic.twitter.com/Vn7wcxTIPl

Of course we have to remind ourselves that Irving and James were once teammates who won a title together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But maybe this is Irving trying to get in James’ head should they meet in, say, the NBA Finals.
