LeBron James is on thin ice with his good friend and former Cavaliers teammate, Kevin Love.
Last month, James brutally posterized Love at the rim during his return to Cleveland on March 21, when the Lakers topped the Cavaliers, 131-120. Later on, the 33-year-old put James in a headlock on the sideline and the two laughed about it.
After the game, James told reporters, “I hope I’m still invited to the wedding,” while expressing regret about the monster dunk, which took place in the second quarter.
“We had a conversation after that,” Love told The Post. “He’s toeing the line on if he’s invited [to the wedding], so we might add Vestry (Love’s dog) and take him away.”

Love, who is set to marry his longtime girlfriend, supermodel Kate Bock this summer, ¸was joking, of course, noting that it’s all love between him and James.
They were teammates in Cleveland from 2015-18, and won a title together in 2016, when the Cavaliers beat the Warriors in a seven-game classic. Before that, Love and James won gold together with Team USA at the 2012 London Olympics, and have remained close friends off the court ever since.
Vestry, meanwhile, is the Vizsla dog Love shares with his fiancée. As as important as the pooch is to the couple, she will not be in the wedding, said Love — who recently partnered with Milk Bone to help launch the brand’s new Birthday Cake Artificially Flavored Biscuits, alongside a birthday sweepstakes for dogs.
“[Vestry’s] just kind of always with us all the time, so people have come to expect it,” he said. “We’re getting married in [New York City] this summer, but she won’t be part of the wedding festivities, but she’ll be around.”
