More than any other active player, LeBron James has been there and done that. Through 19-plus NBA seasons, he’s one of the most accomplished and decorated players in basketball history.
So, you’ll forgive him if he doesn’t take Dillon Brooks seriously in the least.
After the Los Angeles Lakers dominated in a 111-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies to take a 2-1 series lead, James was asked about making statements. Even after he took a punch to the groin, the all-timer didn’t appear remotely concerned about sending a message to Brooks and Memphis.
At this stage of his career, James has a lot bigger fish to fry.

It’s the first round of a hopeful two-month journey to a fifth NBA title in June for James. Try as Brooks might to get into James’ head; it’s obviously not working. James has seen many players try to agitate him over the years, and almost none of those strategies worked.
He’s above the fray, and he knows it.
