Over the weekend, a frustrated Kyrie Irving ripped his young Celtics teammates for “lacking experience” after the team suffered a tough loss to the Orlando Magic.

Tonight the Celtics got a big win against the Toronto Raptors and after the game Kyrie, who forced a trade from the Cavs two years ago because he was tired of being coached up by LeBron James, said that that he called James following the loss to the Magic to apologize after he realized that being a leader to young players isn’t easy.
Kyrie said he called LeBron after the Orlando game and apologized for being that young guy who didn’t quite understand what LeBron was going through as a veteran leader.

Maybe Kyrie is finally growing up after all.
