NBA News: LeBron James Discloses Truth About Reported 'Verbal Exchange' With Kyrie Irving
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James disclosed the truth, more specifically the lack thereof, about his reported "verbal exchange" with Kyrie Irving.
Rumours have been rife that the Cavs are also encountering struggles inside the locker room, as they have yet to meet expectations despite recently winning against the Denver Nuggets, bearing a 2-3 win-loss record.
"Those reports aren't true," James said before they went against Denver.
"We have not had a verbal exchange."
"But I understand that negativity sells. No one wants to hear a good story. Those reports are not true. They're very false."
Chemistry and coexistence are among the main issues between the two all-stars, who have been most effective with the ball in their hands, but James believes that they are on the right track in addressing such concerns.
"We're two dynamic players and it's coming along well I believe," he added.
"But it's going to continue to get better and better. It's just four games. It's our first time playing together."
"Every game is going to be a learning experience for both of us."

Having enjoyed success with the Miami Heat, LeBron knows that in able for his current side to take it to the next level, they must act as a unit on the hardwood.
"Every time we approach the floor, it's not only me and Kyrie," he explained.
"But myself and the rest of the guys, and kyrie and the rest of the guys as well."
"You know, this is a team game."
For his part, Irving just took the gossip lightly and made a joke out of it.
"As you can see, we're on opposite ends, so it means we hate each other," said the former Rookie of the Year.
"It was just over Survivor's Remorse and Family Guy. That's what it was about."
"Obviously he's going to feel strongly about Survivor's Remorse. It's his show, but I love Family Guy. So a heated exchange, words were said."
The Cavs showed superiority against the Nuggets, taking charge since the opening minute of the first quarter, while leading by as much as 21 points during the third to provide them enough cushion during the end-game despite a late surge by the opposition.
