Dude is on camera being an open homophobic pastor. Dude ain't going to have no type of head coaching job anymore in 2024.

This.. his message is ultra Christian and can rub people the wrong way

It did with Bogut but yes lets let an out of touch coach like Mark Jackson coach a bunch of zoomers and young millennials

I am not a fan of hiring someone with zero experience, it's disrespectful to others looking for the job as well. Guys like Sam Cassell who have put in the work. JJ should spend a few years being assistant coach to be taken seriously. He eventually will get one regardless because he's been applying for coaching position for a while now, GM too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron told 3 Lakers to tell management they did not want JJ........Why say Lebron wasn't one of them?

Bird and Zeke did well with the Pacers.
Jason Kidd figured it out over time.


NBA don't have genius coaching anymore. Rule changes made Popovich, Dantoni, Phil Jackson, Eric Spolestra, Pat Riley, Kerr etc obsolete. However, NBA been allowing defense/physicality last several months...so coaching is coming back into play.


But majority of teams play the same and the superstars are the difference makers. Coach manges clock, momentum and minutes.

Coaches draw up some inbounds plays and... ask for screens etc....tell go over/under screens...tell who to trap. That's about it.

nikkas on the squad tired of the Klutch shyt they like man we fukk with Bron but this is too much

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

It’s crazy we haven’t found a competent coach since Phil Jackson

 

[Mars]

It was made public that Lebron had nothing to do with the coaching search......Lebron was clearly distancing himself from the situation........Saying Lebron was not one the 3 players keeps his business relationship with JJ in good standing.

Lackers organization is some hoes

Let the NBA Finals play out and then do this BS

Lakers make the money move...Deal wit it. fukk Cuban...and fukk the Mavs. If they can't beat the Celtics they don't deserve no attention. Basketball Reasons.

I wanted that smug MF to get a chance to put his money where his mouth is. I don't blame them lol.

It still doesn't sit right with me that these talking heads and former players can just become NBA coaches with no experience.
Go be an assistant coach for a couple of years. Work at the NCAA level. Work your way up.

Just because this guy was on television and played in the NBA somehow makes him qualified to coach an NBA team? And a super high profile team like the Lakers? I don't get it.
