LeBron James is frustrated with the way things are going with the Los Angeles Lakers. It makes sense considering the four-time MVP is two games out of a playoff spot.

It’s been storied that safety Earl Thomas challenged Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to go after him when the defensive star became available. That time is now.
