CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Could LeBron James and Kyrie Irving do something Shaq and Kobe never could?

Reunite.

In an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday, the former Cavaliers point guard was asked if he and James could ever be teammates again (besides in All-Star games).

"In professional sports, anything can happen. So, you never know," he responded.

Kimmel also wondered if Irving was surprised his former Cavs teammate picked him to be on his All-Star team after demanding a trade so he could get out from under James' shadow.

"I feel like it was a great choice," the ever succinct Irving said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Irving talked about the upcoming "Uncle Drew" movie, his affinity for Broadway musicals ("Rent" is his favorite), and showed off the tattoo on his arm of the logo from the TV show "Friends."

Kimmel also brought up Irving's infamous comments on a podcast last year in which he said he believed the earth is flat.

The Celtics star explained he got caught up talking about the current state of the country and conspiracy theories, and didn't really mean to say the earth was flat.

"[It was] an accident it got out," he said.
