LeBron James Was 'a Little Hurt' By Kyrie Irving's Clutch Comments

Lakers star LeBron James said he felt slightly hurt after hearing former teammate Kyrie Irving's comments that appeared to question James's clutch abilities.

"I was a little like, 'Damn.' Once I got the whole transcript, I was like, 'Damn,'" James said on an episode "Road Trippin' Podcast" with Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Allie Clifton that aired on Monday. "I wasn't like, 'Oh, you trippin'. I've hit game-winning shots my whole life.'...The whole time when I was [in Cleveland], I only wanted to see him be a MVP of our league. I only cared about his success.
