“You know, Kyrie learned some poor leadership from LeBron and some of the stuff he did and I think Kyrie tried to come into his own in a different way.

“You know some guys that are like — you see the 7 or 8 year old in the AAU game where he’s putting all the kids in the right spot, and he’s thinking of everybody…that’s NOT Kyrie. I think that’s something that he’s trying to grow and learn and do, and I think he’s handled a couple of situations wrong.”
Hollins wasn’t a part of the 2016 Cavs team that won the championship. But he thinks that Kyrie learned an incomplete lesson on leadership from his ex-teammate LeBron James.
