How Many NBA Championships Did LeBron James Win With Kyrie Irving?

In NBA, there have been few relationships that were considered one of the best to exist. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are on the list. Apart from them, there was another partnership between LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. 

However, LeBron’s and Kyrie’s relationship was one of the most complicated ones. From the 2014 to 2017 season, they played together in the Cleveland Cavaliers. While LeBron left the Miami Heat to join the Cavaliers, Kyrie was already a part of the team. Following this, Kyrie Irving also qualified for his first-ever NBA playoffs in 2015. 

While playing together for three seasons, people expected them to deliver the best partnership, and they did. However, their relationship off-court was not that good. Kyrie who was emerging as a player in the Cavaliers was not happy with LeBron’s dominating nature as a senior. But despite this, the two together won an NBA championship for the Cavaliers in 2016.
