LeBron James, over the years, has been a star for the Los Angeles Lakers with his magnificent gameplay and heroism. The star player is not shy to express his feeling to the media, and while he speaks, he has the tone of a true protagonist. However, sometimes people take his words out of context and try to defame him- in an attempt to get the “King” off his thrown.
It was no different when Sam Amick, a renowned Athletic NBA writer, misrepresented the L-Train’s words- showing the world a side of the undisputed rising monarch that in the real world never existed.

“Hey, Sam actually my patience isn’t waning. You make it sound like I’m frustrated when I’m really not. I told you over and over, my job is focused on the guys in the locker room, my job isn’t the roster.”
“That’s the reality of that conversation. And I said what I said with the Upmost [sic] respect and calmness cause that’s the mood I’m in! Your [sic] welcome! 5 game winning streak.”
