LeBron James fans on Twitter assumed that the Nets and Kyrie Irving purposefully denied King James to practise his pre-game powder routine. Though the players have claimed they are on good terms, Irving's exit from Cavaliers had been messy. Some also thought that James should maybe start carrying his own powder.
I always assumed he brought his own. Weird
