Stephen A Smith: Kyrie Irving 'Ain't Too Happy Being In Cleveland

Feb 29, 2016 4:59 PM

Kyrie Irving may not be happy with his current situation with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Stephen A. Smith.

Irving signed a five-year, max extension with the Cavaliers on July 1st of 2014 before the team signed LeBron James in free agency and later traded for Kevin Love.

“Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland,” Smith stated on First Take this morning. “The situation is not ideal for him. I don’t know the particulars, I haven’t spoken to him personally. It’s something that I’ve been hearing for months; that under ideal circumstances he would prefer to be someplace other than Cleveland.”

LeBron James 'Feeling 10 Times Better' Than Last Season

Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM

LeBron James feels much better physically this season than last when he missed 13 games, which included a two-week hiatus to rest.

"It's how my body was feeling," James said Wednesday. "Last year I was banged up. It's not a mindset, it's just reality. This year I feel 10 times better than I did last year. So that's the mindset."

James has only sat out one game so far this season.

James admitted making five straight trips to the Finals has started to catch up with him, but that he's not so worse for the wear that he would consider sitting out games.

"I guess I've played so much basketball, man, feeling great, those days are pretty much over," James said. "I don't know anybody that's played 13 years that you can say, 'Oh, I woke up and I feel great.' I feel great as far as life and getting an opportunity to wake up, but as far as me feeling like a 23-year-old, those days are passed."
