LeBron James’ Twitter is a source of information. Or at least, so we think. His tweets often precede important events. His latest was a tweet supporting Kevin Durant’s stellar display on the offensive end. And just yesterday, he shunned Kyrie Irving for his actions.

Does LeBron’s tweet imply, he is firmly on the side of his friend and has abjectly shunned his former championship-winning teammate? We are not sure yet, but the signs do point toward that. We’ll first take a look at what Kevin Durant did that incited James’ tweet.

LeBron James denounced Irving’s actions through a series of interviews
Before that LeBron was asked for his opinion on Irving’s actions not once, but twice. And he was very clear that he didn’t respect it and he was condoning it.
“If you are promoting or soliciting or saying harmful things to any community that harms people, then I don’t respect it. I don’t condone it.”

He was one of the first people to stand against his friend after the latter’s actions were questionable. He also said that while he loves his friend and former teammate, he understands the harm Irving’s actions have caused to people.
LeBron James, asked by @mcten about Kyrie Irving, said he doesn’t condone any hate of any kind. He says he loves Kyrie, but: “I believe what Kyrie did caused some harm to a lot of people.” He hopes Kyrie understands that.
