Kyrie Irving: LeBron James is "greatest player"

Kyrie Irving has described Cleveland Cavaliers teammate LeBron James as the "greatest player" following the team's win over the Chicago Bulls.

The Eastern Conference's second seeds won game two of their playoff series with the Bulls 106-91, leaving the semi-final level at 1-1.

The points guard told ESPN: "There wasn't one possession where he wasn't dominant. When he has that mindset, he's the greatest player playing our game right now."

The four-time league MVP led the scoring with 33 points, including 14 in the first quarter.
