LeBron James on Memphis backlash: "Did I say I don't like black people? I'm 41 years old and there's 2 cities I don’t like playing in, Milwaukee & Memphis. I'm not talking about the people in Memphis. I just don't like staying at the Hyatt Centric, what's wrong with that? What are we talking about?"

But it omits the original comments that caused the uproar: during a Bob Does Sports appearance, he complained about hotel stays in Memphis and said the Grizzlies should move to Nashville.
