How long b4 Lebron turns on him?


Why is there a narrative that Bron always turns on coaches?

Bron was chill with Mike Brown for that entire Cavs run (5 years) and never tried to get him out, the same Mike Brown who only lasted 1 year with Kobe and then hasn't been a head coach again. Bron briefly wanted Riley instead of Spolstra when Spolstra was fukking up early on (who wouldn't), but by their second year he was completely on board with him and stayed that way for his entire Miami tenure. Ty Lue had three good seasons with Bron, then after Bron leaves he couldn't even last a full season without him.

Yeah, there have also been some coaches who were fired while Bron was on the team, but those coaches objectively sucked. Can you name even one coach that got fired from a Bron team who has gone on to have a single season of success in the NBA after that? Vogel is the best coach to get fired from a Bron team, and no one has ever said that Bron was behind his firing plus he hasn't exactly lit up the league since then (already got fired by the Suns after just 1 season).

Thats why SAS said coaches were mad. They knew Reddixk had a shoe in for the job


One of the primary human fallacies in logical thinking - we assume that anything that happens was bound to happen. Because he got the job, we now claim he was a shoe-in for the job, as if another candidate wasn't straight up offered a contract just last week.

To add to this Bron tried to rally the locker room even around David Blatt, or at least to play hard for him to evaluate him as a coach according to Raja Bell

Obviously Blatt lost the locker room besides just Lebron but he didn’t try and get him fired by any means.

I’ve always said the best coaches were never the best players… With that said he’s the HC now so he has 3 years to show he belongs..

JKidd ain’t know wtf he was doing when he first started…. But through failure, then being an assistant and now back to a HC he’s gotten a lot better..

The funniest sub-story to me is JJ gonna be giving the Lakers white players hell on the low :bryan: gonna make sure they non athletic asses can knock down shots from anywhere and know that playbook front to back

Reaves better start perfecting corner 3's and running suicides today :ufdup: Bron been calling him out all season on the pod, they on his ass now
Told y'all he was cracking the whip on the whites first :mjlol: made Reaves :bow: publicly before his feet touched the soil

You do know that's incorrect right?

That's basic basketball trivia right there for anyone that remotely follows the league.

That's irrelevant to your comment as he's had success post Lebron, which goes against the narrative you were stating.


It doesn't go against the point we were actually arguing at all, which was the claim that Bron is a coach-killer. You're just trying to catch me on an omission that had nothing to do with the general point. Congrats, you caught me.
