Kobe Bryant dismissed the idea that he had anything to do with Kyrie Irving wanting out of Cleveland.
Amid reports that Irving requested a trade from the Cavaliers to get out of LeBron James' shadow, which some have compared to his past feud with Shaquille O'Neal, the Los Angeles Lakers legend sent out this tweet Monday insisting he's focused on his many business ventures:
