Greenberg: Kyrie Could Be 'Best Teammate LeBron Has Ever Had' in Playoffs

WQAM

Miami Heat fans are about to bare arms.

"Kyrie Irving could be the best teammate LeBron has ever had in the playoffs."

Those bold words piped out of Mike Greenberg's mouth on his ESPN Radio show Monday morning, less than a day after Kyrie Irving threw down 30 points (11/21 FG) in his first ever playoff game, a 113-100 victory over Boston.

The quote indirectly jabs Dwyane Wade, LeBron James' former No. 2 amid Miami's four consecutive NBA Finals appearances and two titles. It also comes with some curious timing being Irving has played in just one playoff game as a teammate of James while Wade teamed up with him for 16 best-of-seven playoff series.
