The league veteran of 22 years reflected on his decision to sit out the games against the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves and believes the short break was a good decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I mean it\u2019s very rare, to be honest, if you can get a break in the schedule like that,\u201d James said after the Lakers\u2019 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. \"So it was a very easy decision for myself and for the team and for my trainer to be able to take advantage of those days just for everything. So, it was great.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I had an opportunity to take more days and get my mind, body and everything where I wanted it to be for tonight and it worked out.I listen to more than just myself because if it was up to just me, I probably would\u2019ve played in the Portland game, and (I\u2019m) not sure if I would\u2019ve played in the Minnesota game, but it would\u2019ve been hard to keep me away from it. I have a team and I gotta listen to them as well. They look out for my best interest,\" said LeBron in the post-game interview.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
