MEMPHIS -- With the Los Angeles Lakers taking a one step forward, two steps backward approach to their post-All-Star playoff push thanks to another defeat at the hands of a lesser opponent, LeBron James was asked if the pressure of it all was becoming a distraction to his team.
"At this point if you are still allowing distractions to affect how the way you play, then this is the wrong franchise to be a part of and you should just come and be like, 'Listen, I don't [think this is for me]. I cannot do this,'" James said following a 110-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.
