LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are one of the most explosive duos in NBA history. They won the first and only title for Cleveland Cavaliers during their time together in that franchise. They had great chemistry and success together. However, Kyrie Irving left the team after he claimed that he was livid playing second fiddle to ‘King James’. Meanwhile, UFC fighter Paulo Costa had taken a jibe at the current Lakers player after a reunion with the former teammate fell through.

The James-Irving relationship has been well-documented over the years. However, LeBron James moved to the LA Lakers in 2018 for a new chapter. But his team has not been at its best recently. They have lost more matches than they have won this season. But UFC star Paulo Costa has offered him the ‘secret juice’ to help him get better.
