James was criticized for meddling in other people s business, and recently revealed the truth about the Celtics losing to the Knicks

The Boston Celtics lost to the New York Knicks in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and missed the opportunity to enter the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. As the championship team for the 2023-24 season, the Celtics stopped in the second round of the playoffs, which also allowed fans and media to continue to see that since 2019, no team has completed the feat of winning streaks. The Celtics lost to the Knicks because the team's core lineup is not good enough. The Celtics won the championship last season mainly because the lineup is very luxurious. They have Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Ju Holiday, Porzingis and Derek White. However, they lost to the Knicks in the playoffs this season because their roster is not as luxurious as the Knicks.

Knicks spent a lot of money to strengthen their efforts last year, and their attitude was very clear, just to spend money to build a better super team and compete for the championship. This also allows the Knicks to have outstanding stars such as Brunson, Josh Hart, Anunobi, Mikal Bridges and Towns this season. The most important thing is that most Knicks players can attack and defend under the training of Thibodeau, and dare to fight with their bodies.

Recently, LeBron James also talked about the real reason why the Celtics lost to the Knicks. LeBron James said, "It seems that they are sometimes tired, and I don't want to talk about the process, but they are them. When you look at Tatum and Brown, it's year after year, they have played 10,000 hours. But sometimes they get a little bored because of how great they are. It's not just them, but the whole team."

LeBron James roughly means that the core players of the Celtics have become tired of the pursuit of greatness, so they lose to the Knicks. LeBron James' remarks have also aroused the condemnation of many fans and media. He thought that LeBron James was meddling in other people's business and was beaten and eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. He did not reflect on his own issues and discuss other people's affairs.

There are also fans who asked LeBron James, you have never felt tired of greatness, but you have not continued to win the NBA championship in recent years. LeBron James entered the finals ten times in his career and won four championships. Since winning the championship in 2020, he and the Lakers have never entered the NBA Finals again.

In recent years, the Lakers and LeBron James have not been tired of pursuing greatness. According to LeBron James's remarks, they shouldn't have no chance to enter the Finals again to compete for the championship. In fact, to put it bluntly, if you want to win the championship in the current NBA, you cannot succeed by a competitive mentality and desire for great pursuits. Teams must be willing to spend money to build a four-star or five-star lineup and pay a lot of luxury taxes.

The Lakers have been focusing on the duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron and James in recent years, which is definitely not possible. They need a third or fourth star. Even if Anthony Davis is replaced by Luca Doncic, they still need some All-Star-level stars to assist.
