LeBron James Issues Ultimatum To Lakers Teammates Amidst Losses

LeBron James does not like the way his teammates handle the pressure on the floor. The Lakers deal with so many problems this season, and we all know that. Almost every player on the roster suffered an injury at some point of the season.

King James is disappointed with the fact that his team is not even in line for the playoffs. He blames the teammates for paying much attention to other stuff and being easily distracted. LeBron was never comfortable with losing this many games. That’s why he encouraged the team to learn how to handle distractions.

“At this point, if you are still allowing distractions to affect the way you play, then this is the wrong franchise to be a part of, and you should just come in and say, ‘I can’t do this.’ Like, seriously, if you’re distracted by playoff pushes and all the stuff we’ve been talking about this year, then… (tails off)

“Just come and do you job; we’ll do our job at a high level, and that’s not a distraction. That’s what you want. Every game you want to feel like you’re fighting for something.”

Shaq had words of support for LeBron’s teammates

Shaquille O’Neal had some words for the Lakers, too. He disapproves their attitude on the floor, and used his own story to give them strength and support.

“It’s no time to sit and sulk,” O’Neal said. “If you don’t want to be traded or you don’t want to be talked about, step up. LeBron is used to playing with guys who hit shots and make him look good. He’s not having that right now. Look, I was traded six times. I never cried about it. You move on. It’s the business of basketball. If you want to be a guy who doesn’t get traded, you’ve got to step up. Period.”
