EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- LeBron James will let his game do the talking when the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round series against the self-proclaimed bear-poking Dillon Brooks and the Memphis Grizzlies continues with Game 3 on Saturday.
"I'm not here for the bulls---," James said after practice Friday, cutting off his media availability after side-stepping Brooks-related questions for about five minutes. "I'm ready to play and that's it."
Following the No. 2-seeded Grizzlies' 103-93 win in Game 2 to even the series 1-1 against the No. 7 Lakers, the 27-year-old Brooks took aim at the 38-year-old James, doubting the 20-year veteran's effectiveness at this stage of his career.
