Hernández: Lakers' season wasn't a failure? LeBron James makes excuses instead of being a leader
“It’s not a failure at all,” James said. “We came to work every single day, put our hard hats on and tried to get better every day. And the results just didn’t happen for us. But it’s not a failure.”
James could have talked about his body language, which often betrayed his lack of confidence in his less-talented teammates. He could have pointed to his inconsistent defensive play, which was a team-wide problem. He could have acknowledged his shortcomings as a talent evaluator and recruiter, which contributed to an imbalanced roster that was too old.
“Ask me my opinion, I’m going to give my opinion,” James said. “But at the end of the day, they’re going to make the decision that they feel is best for the franchise.”Russell WestbrookThe only direct apology he made was for playing in just 56 games, but the admission sounded as if it were designed to support his excuse about how the Lakers were ravaged by injuries.
