LeBron James shrugged off Redick's tone, noting with a chuckle that the Lakers have grown accustomed to the fact that he will "spazz out" at times. He says the players have to focus on the message and not how Redick's saying it, and in this case that was to lock back in and keep running good offense.

JJ Redick went off on the Los Angeles Lakers players during the win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, and LeBron James has responded.

One of the negative narratives that has dogged LeBron James in recent years is that he doesn't play any defense. There has been a fair amount of truth in that narrative, partly because he has had to conserve his energy on that end of the court as a concession to the insane amount of wear and tear he has accumulated over 22 NBA seasons.
