Kyrie Irving was recently asked maybe the strangest question in the world about the relationship between he and LeBron

Ever since LeBron James announced last July that he would be returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, his relationship with young star Kyrie Irving has been under a microscope. The dynamic between the two NBA mega stars is always a hot topic of conversation.

It’s awesome to think about, because they’re like brothers!

Well, one reporter actually doesn’t see the relationship as all that brotherly. Actually, she seems to be of the belief that LeBron is more like a Dad to Kyrie (even though he’s only 7 years older).

Ridiculous, right? Well, what might be even more ridiculous is that she actually asked Kyrie Irving about this.

She was serious. She was legit serious in asking Kyrie if he looks at LeBron like a DAD.

The best part about the whole exchange might be the reaction from Irving. He was so baffled by the question being asked that he thought maybe he was hearing something incorrectly. Then when the light bulb went off that that’s what he was being asked, he just couldn’t help but laugh.

Brothers? Yes, But a parental figure? Ummmm….no.
