LeBron James has good comments after the defeat of the Grikers against the Lakers

LeBron James made more NBA history Monday night. But another step in his career was overshadowed by another discouraging loss and more critical comments about his teammates.

James ranks 10th on the all-time list, becoming the only player in the league's history to be in the top 10 aids and points. However, the Los Angeles Angles lost 110-105 against a Memphis Grizzlies team, making it the second worst Western Conference performance.

Subsequently, a frustrated James commented on the Lakers' late-season bombing to see if the noise around him was a "distraction" for his teammates.

"At this point, if you still allow the distractions to affect the way you play, it's a bad franchise to take and you should just come in and say," Listen, I can not do that. "" James said . "Seriously, if you're distracted by the critics of the playoffs …"

James then moved away and stammered a little, seemingly unable to put words on his frustration.

"Come on and do your job," he continued. "We are doing our work at a high level.This is not a distraction, it is what you want.Is what you want at every game.You want to have the l & # 39; feeling like you're fighting for something. "

The comments were held two nights after the Lakers lost to New Orleans against a pelican team without star striker Anthony Davis. After this loss, James questioned the team's sense of urgency.
