LeBron James Reveals Difference Between Warriors and Grizzlies

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James knows Golden State is not Memphis

While the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a similar situation in the Western Conference Semi-Finals to what they faced in the opening round, LeBron James has made it very clear that the Golden State Warriors are not the Memphis Grizzlies.

While James has respect for both Golden State and Memphis, he said after the Game 4 victory, "We've been in a 3-1 situation in round one vs. Memphis, so we gotta learn from that. We're not saying that Memphis is Golden State. Both teams are well coached, both teams are great, but we also know we're dealing with the defending champions."

James expanded on these comments when speaking with reporters, saying, "I mean, every moment is its own challenge and is its own game and is its own opportunity to see what you’re made of, and we can’t base last series on to this series. This series is different. The opponent is different. The challenges is different."

What James continues to reiterate as the difference between the Warriors and Grizzlies, is that while both teams are great, Golden State is the defending champions. Not only did the Warriors win the title last season, but they have won four of the last eight champions, whereas Memphis has not gotten past the second round with this group.

While LeBron James has respect for all of his opponents, he understands that this challenge vs. the Warriors is incredibly different from last series against Memphis.
