Kyle Lowry popped shyt and apologized...

[ExodusNirvana]

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry said Tuesday he wasn't trying to "throw any shade" on Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James during his postgame interview with ESPN following a Game 7 victory over the Miami Heat.

"LeBron is probably one of the best players in the league besides Stephen (Curry)," Lowry told ESPN's Doris Burke when asked about the Eastern Conference finals.

The comment led some to believe that he was slighting James.

"I would never throw (any) shade on one of the greatest players in history of basketball," Lowry said prior to Game 1 at Quicken Loans Arena. "I would never do that. Some people will take it for too much. LeBron is LeBron James. He'll probably be (one of the) top three players of all time when he retires."

Raptors' Lowry: Would never disrespect LeBron

Lowry had 1, maybe 2 good games all playoffs. He shouldn't talk

This shyt was blown way out of proportion.

But I guess this series needed some sort of spark.

Media took that shyt and blew it for no reason

Yeah I hate these small reports and stories that come out when a player says something. Dude just played like 40 plus minutes was tired as fukk and just answering questions.

ESPN need a story though

How the fukk was calling LeBron one of the best players in the league besides the MVP an insult?

This shyt is insane

There was zero reason to bring up Steph Curry in relation to the question...

I think dude knew exactly what he was doing and now the backlash has come and it's

They actually ran with that comment? Lol.

Media scrambling like a bunch of goofs because they didn't get their precious Wade/Bron narrative
