Wouldn't be surprised if he coaches for like 3 years and quits and then is like welp, I checked that off my bucket list

JJ knows his shyt. The issue isn't can he draw up plays, or make adjustments, or put in a good rotation. He'll be a rookie coach but I'm sure he'll figure that out.

The other part of being a coach is managing players and working with talent to play their best.

The issue is if he can connect with NBA players and speak to them like human beings and not continue to be the condescending, pretentious, look at me, I'm a basketball genius, hollier than thou jagoff that he appears to be on the ESPN broadcasts and interviews I've heard him do.

Buddy, you were a spot-up 3 point shooter, flying off picks. You didn't invent the game. You ain't Dr. James Naismith. :childplease::camby:

TYRONE GA!
They really hired LeBron's podcast co-host :pachaha:
Gotta credit McCants, he called this shyt as soon as that podcast started. They made that shyt just so it would be more palatable when they hired a coach with zero experience for a supposed win now team


I give it until December before he gets his own "terrorist" nickname when they're in 10th place. Osama Bin Redikk smh
Bron always trying to outsmart people and thinks everyone is dumb.

Just like him doing the Decision at the YMCA thinking that it would soften the blow of him leaving the Cavs for Miami :mjlol:

Whether he's fired or not is irrelevant to my point tho. Either way he'll be able to say, "When I coached the Lakers", "When I coached against x player, we did this"

It opens up another level of perspective to his insight on basketball. He'll be able to talk from every angle. It's quite fascinating when I think about it.

Exactl!!

Like Breh said if we are going analyst hire Jamal Crawford I have more faith in him being able to relate the players.

I don’t believe LeBron had much insight into this, but I wouldn’t be surprised out of what was a pretty piss poor pool of options the Lakers assembled, it made sense to go with the one LeBron is connected with

JJ literally has interviewed and connected with players from all levels on his podcast. Superstars to high level role players. A joint show with Bron.

Where is this narrative that he won't be able to relate to players? From watching his content with players I don't see there being a communication barrier there that people keep bringing up. If anything I see the opposite
