LeBron James hits back at NBA insider who suggested former is unhappy with LA Lakers' situation
LeBron James has been trending on social media recently for expressing his feelings about the LA Lakers.
Sources claimed that James is unhappy with the team's situation and wants to see some major changes. Apparently, that isn't the case, though, as James clarified on Twitter that he isn't frustrated at all with the Lakers.
James responded to a tweet by NBA insider Sam Amick who misled fans into thinking that James is fed up. Amick had tweeted:
LeBron James to @TheAthletic on the Lakers' roster plans: "Y'all know what the f*** should be happening."

James responded to the misleading tweet and immediately shut down Amick's claims about him running out of patience.
He also explained that he's only focusing on who he's sharing the locker room with at the moment. Building the roster isn't his job. "King" James then proceeded to flex the five-game winning streak the Lakers are on to prove that his team is on the right track.
"Hey Sam actually my patience isn’t waning," James said. "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."
LeBron continued:
"I said what I said with the upmost respect and calmness cause that’s the mood I’m in! Your welcome! 5 game winning streak."

LeBron James and LA Lakers activate God mode
The LA Lakers have been on fire in their last five games. Their winning streak is all thanks to the team's effort and LeBron James' sudden burst of offense. James has played in four of the last five games and has performed brilliantly. On his birthday, the Lakers went up against the Atlanta Hawks, when LBJ went on a scoring assault with 47 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, and a block.
Three days later, the "King" proceeded to put up another 40-point game performance against the Charlotte Hornets. James had another double-double outing with 43 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and a steal. His dominance led to another Lakers victory.
Apparently, LeBron James created a domino effect and passed on his greatness to his teammates. During his absence against the Miami Heat, Thomas Bryant, Dennis Schroder, and Russell Westbrook got the job done for LA. Both Bryant and Westbrook had 21 points each, while Schroder scored 32.
Now that James is back in the lineup, it's an awesome sight to see the team matching his energy. In their most recent game against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers looked like a solid team. They beat the Kings in a nail-biting 136-134 victory. It was a high-scoring game for four Lakers players. LBJ had 37. Bryant had 29. Schroder had 27, and Westbrook had 23.
Given how the Lakeshow has been performing recently, fans are excited to see them keep the momentum going.
