The stats show the 37M Kyrie Irving is nothing without LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James wants to reunite with his former Cavaliers teammate Kyrie Irving; together won a championship and played in various finals.

But the front office still needs to sign Irving by this trade deadline as the Brooklyn Nets owner Jao Tsai sent him to the Maverick Dallas instead. Fans are still hoping the superstar can reunite with LeBron this off-season.

The reality is that Kyrie Irving has been different from LeBron James. The two of LeBron played in the NBA Finals in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Kyrie after leaving James: 2018 - injured, missed playoffs, 2019 - 2nd round exit, 2020 - injured, missed playoffs, 2021 - Injured, 2nd round exit, 2022 - Swept in 1st round, 2023 - Missed playoffs.

The Lakers have been the playoff block leaders so far

Anthony Davis has been the playoff block leader with 5.0 blocks per game, with 15 in total. But the Lakers also are the bloc leaders of the playoff with an average of 8.7 BPG—the best defense led by the best defender.
