He's LeGM and LeCoach, he does everything
And they say he don’t play defense smh. 🤦 Bros out here guarding the best player and drawing schemes at the same time
@@chalnervassor9430 come one man he can't stay in front of anybody these days. He's great off ball and understands everything but his age has been showing a lot
He maybe doing everything, but he's doing it all wrong
@@Sure_Sir How is it wrong if they are winning 😂
@@Sure_Sirsays who?
That reminds me of how Lakers beat Rockets in the bubble playoffs. The Harden-era Rockets relies on creating a mismatch for Harden to iso. That worked against many teams in regular season, but not against LBJ and AD who could guard all five positions and switched everything.
you mean AD )))
Also, only had to guard 4 people since you can leave Westbrook wide open
@@euLIRIC Bron can gaurd all 5 as well
Savage but I remember them sagging so far off Westbrook
Bro Frank Vogel had this 2020 team scrambling on a string. That 2020 defense was honestly the only team that could’ve stopped the rockets.
5:56 Darvin Ham literally cannot adjust during a game. I honestly hope we fire him no matter how well or poorly this post season goes adjustments is one of the most important things a coach needs to be able to do and the lack if it is going to be a giant problem.
He already is. Darvin ain’t worth a fuck.
😂😂😂
Say it louder for the people in the back”😂🤣😂..#AintworthAFuck😭
😂😂😂
So is that the reason why a very good roster with 2 alleged superstars is the 9th seed?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lebrons defense made a big difference. Bron is comfortable guarding wings. I think with the nuggets jokic is a much bigger body. Kawhi is strong but jokic is probably just as strong as but he has a height and weight advantage. Which is where the issue becomes.
He’s already coaching them
He also coached the Heat before and tried to fire Spo
That’s why Vogel was fired, he was actually trying to establish something
@@mattmmixes & y'all excuses in goat conversation be like Jordan got Phil Jackson etc.
meanwhile Bron creates drama to fire his Coach as always even though he's the problem.
not willing to be coached by someone bc of his ego.
When he wins his fans credits him like he won by himself and if he loses blame coach, teammates, lack complementary guys.
Full of excuses that's why he won only four championship even though he got the most help in the NBA history.
@@corleone6380doesn’t even make sense. If you think Vogel was fired because of lebron then you don’t know anything.
@@mattmmixes Vogel got fired because the FO never treated him well and that awful roster was used to scapegoat him. Then they overcorrected their mistake and gave a first year HC who's turned out terrible the long leash they should've immediately given Vogel the minute we won the title.
That's what the Lakers FO has done ever since Jeannie outed her idiot brother make a mistake then overcorrect on repeat.
Those Lakers players know who’s their real coach 😂, LeCoach 🤔😳
Darvin Ham ain't worth a jack to coach an actual NBA team........ Lakers are better off with LeBron calling the plays..
If Lebron is so great and so mighty (as LeGM), how come no decent Coach wants to come near him, even for the frigging LAKERS? :)
...maybe the answer lies in the question.
@@Zett76 of course if youre a coach youd be intimidated coaching a player of lebrons caliber plus he could pass as a coach the way he makes and analyzes plays. What kind of thinking you got lol.
@@iannblanco4341 being a "caliber" and "intimidating" his coach, that are two different things.
Nobody ever had a problem with coaching Steph. Giannis, Luka, Nikola etc. are not known for being "intimidating", either.
Stop defending him. He's a narcissist and a control freak. If that would work, fine, but it doesn't. No great coach wants to work with him, anymore.
Did you know that he wasn't even attending Dwayne's induction into the Hall of Fame?
That guy has practically no friends. If that doesn't ring a bell, what does?
...do you want to be like him?
P.S.: Typing "lol" is pathetic. Stop doing that.
P.P.S.: some interpunction would help your credibility. Quite a lot.
Have a nice evening!
@@Zett76 ya.. nobody likes a narcissist and a control freak. Just ask Phil Jackson.
@@Zett76 If you've paid any attention to how the Lakers FO has conducted itself since Jeannie outed her idiot brother then you know exactly why coaches haven't wanted to come here. Let me lay it out since you haven't and prefer to blame LeBron for everything since you don't like him.
Frank Vogel was treated terribly by the FO. Tyrone Lue felt insulted by the FO insisting he gets less years and his assistants being handpicked for him(this was done because Luke Walton hired his buddies as assistants and this FO overcorrects)so didn't come here. It was immediately speculated upon Vogel's hiring Jason Kidd who was the lead assistant would immediately take over should anything go wrong with Vogel as the fall guy, Kidd ended up going to Dallas instead of sticking around.
Vogel's last season the FO gave him a trash roster completely ill suited to his strengths as a coach and as early as December there was talk of him being fired several coaches commented on how terrible this was, like Rick Carlisle who is head of the coaches union, it was reported Quinn Snyder would not come here should there be a vacancy and once fired Carlisle in his capacity as head of the union spoke up how unfair this was. The Lakers FO knew they f*cked up so overcorrected again and gave this long leash and job security to a rookie HC who has turned out to be a terrible choice.
Lebron doesn't get enough credit for the defense he often put against Kawhi. There has been many circumstances in which Lebron does a better job slowing down Kawhi than the other way around and still for some reason people view Kawhi as some sort of a Lebron stopper.
He also did it last game they played, locked down kawhi and got the dub.
Kawhi in his prime definitely gave Lebron trouble but the later years Lebron definitely gets the better of him despite being older.
Ten years ago Kawhi got FMVP for guarding LeBron that's why.
@@youtubewatcher4955Context. Kawhi was able to put in more effort in defending LBJ when he was still not an elite scorer back with the Spurs.
@@CrazyxEnigma pretty much like Iguodala. Got FMVP in 2015 solely because he's LeBron's primary defender.
i know you're not a Lebron fan coach but honestly you're like 5x better than their current coach lol. the first 5 minutes never heard you mention his name like he really not exist lmao 😂😂😂
Hes a Bron Stan lmfao. Ham is fine but Bron is the main problem
@@jdrmanmusiqking you dont know ball if you think bron is the prob
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Lebron is the sunshine
Ahhh 🤫 "he's doing it already"...- in my library voice- 😂
The problem with the LeBron being an in-court coach is the usual "too many cooks" issue. Yes LeBron can adjust in-game to fix issues in real time (tactics) but he is causing confusing to his team mates since they now have to re-adjust their thoughts which were just adjusted by their coach.
This is pretty frequent in team vs team battles, even in warfare. Generals can win a battle via tactics, but cannot win a war without strategy.
No confusion if you accept Lebron's word as final.
I'm sure they all know that.
Why are we acting like he hasn’t been doing this since 2018? LeGm & LeCoach weren’t made yesterday
Its not unusual for players like these to be an extension of the coach, although depending on the player and their stature in the organization. CP3, Rajon Rondo, MJ, Jason Kidd and a couple more, who had that thinking and coaches trust them to make certain calls during certain plays.
ANYBODY IS BETTER THAN DARVIN SCAM… I rather have Kobe’s ashes coach the team
This is NOT a bad idea, Kobe’s ashes will motivate the players ten fold than Darvin
That’s an interesting take… a bit dark but interesting. I can see an urn on the chair now 😐
I feel like this is more because Lebron finallly decided to play effort filled defense. Usually he absolutely atrocious on rotating or help and their defense suffers. So this is a great sign he started believing in this team to make a run.
This is the funniest title I've seen in a while
Bill Russell did it. He knows how to win. Lebron should absolutely do it
Not in the social media era just can’t do it
I think he’s actually do literally better than Darvin BUT when they loose by 30 the discourse is gonna be wild and sickening
I mean they already blame him lmao. Who cares @@DEMI-sq5uf
@@DEMI-sq5ufGM makes a bad trade, blame LeBron. Coach makes a bad decision, blame LeBron. Teammate make a mistake, blame LeBron. He's so big that he will be scrutinized no matter what
Crazy how good LeBron is at his age... too bad Vando and Vincent are not healthy, the roster is not the best but pretty good tbh. I'm excited for this year's playoffs, the West is a bloodbath
He does his best
the downside is Bron also can make confusion within teammates with his in-game adjustment, sometimes i saw Rui and DLo had that, maybe thats the main cause of their inconsistency but without him def Lakers wont make this far
Finally a D Ham roast session
This is gold content
Ham isn't a NBA level coach and LeBron has a better understanding of both sides of the ball
Lakers have a great cast, their defense was hurt by Vando and Gabe missing so much time but they still should not be in the play-in and now at least have a shot making it to 6th seed
Which started with playing Rui more and Prince less while that is obviously not the only factor is a huge difference
Darvin Ham started Prince, Reddish, and Vanderbilt with Lebron and AD and wondered why they couldn't score at the start of the season. He made Lebron play point guard and sat Reaves, their only true point guard for a month.
@@dameongeppetto exactly.
*insert Bugs Bunny saying “no”*
A basketball breakdown of a breakdown of a breakdown! 😂 I need to stop this basketball addiction!
One the most interesting videos this year just from looking at the title lol
I’ve been saying Bron should coach the Lakers for a while now. Doesn’t seem like Ham is the guy for the job. Bron should be a player/coach.
If he ever gets injured he should.
would love to see him all mic'd up
yeah the biggest problem with Ham is he sticks to his guns a bit too much. He just pockets his hands and makes no adjustments.
standing there with his hands in his pockets and a defeated look on his face with the absolute wackiest lineups possible on the floor and the lakers giving up any momentum they gained in a game. I understand experimenting with lineups early in the season, but holy shit waiting until they were like 30-31 or something to actually try to find the playoff rotations should be fire-able for a team that is actually trying to make a deep run...
😂 now I know why he's usually late on defense...
When he owns a team it’s going to be funny
The haters are already on him, no matter what he do. I would say Lebron abillity to read the game is an asset anyway, but he cannot do it always. But Darvin Ham got the luxury of a player with high situational awareness, so he can ask Lebron "whats your take on this", an he is able give a valueable opinion.
D'angelo Russel is the best player on that team.
He was sleeping on several of those possessions as you have shown coach...
He's 39 and needs to pick his spots.
@@ZeitGeist_TV , non sense.
he needs to lead by example.
if you give up 2 points by resting to score 2points on the other end, you add zero value to your team. thats just stat padding.
@@pjc_deleon7290 It's hard to be the playing coach, it's like splitting your body in two aspects of the game aka multi tasking instead of giving your 100 percent in playing defense and not covering out for someone else's work which in this case his coach, Kobe was had a bad habit of sleeping on defense aka ball watching according to his coach Phil jackson, does that mean he didn't led the lakers by example? No right? and also even one of the best defenders all time have several mistakes every game.
@@andybeardsack7898 , also non sense and mental gymnastics on your part. Lets call a spade a spade.
its one thing to occassionally make up for someone else lapse, its not another to consistently undermine your coach.
When you mentioned that Lebron cant multi-task, you shot your argument on the foot. There's should be a separation of roles and duties between a coach and a player, in order to clearly delineate accountabilities and responsibilities. Let coaches think of plays, let players execute plays. Lebron being a diva, wants to play his part on both, so he fails in either roles. As you can see in the last part of the video, it was the lack of effort and the owning up to it that really made the difference.
Also, your feigned argument about is also non sense. If kobe had a bad habit in defense, then he had a bad habit in defense that's it. He could have improved on it. One Wrong don't make the another one right.
@@pjc_deleon7290 "Mental gymnastics" Is that supposed to be ad hominem? damn it hurts lol, first of all i saw what you did there 🤣, you only said in your argument that lebron should led them by example, but now? why you making it seems like i make excuses for lebron being a diva? Ad hoc rescue alert🤣 i only argued about your statement that "he should led by example" and you seem saying that he is a bad leader that's why i made an analogy which is kobe's situation, i didn't shot my argument on the foot, because i didn't say "Lebron can't multi task" I only said it's hard to multi task, I saw what you did there again 🤣 Strawman alert🤣 first of all we aint arguing if lebron is a diva or not, now you saying red herring things and strawman my arguments🤣 if for you all im doing is mental gymnastic, then you are nothing but full of fallacies🤣🤣🤣 try again you seem having a problem in philosophy of language🤣 c'mon don't exposed yourself that quick
That perimeter defense will be their downfall if they reach the playoffs
lebron says things that dont always align with what he actually does on the court. i completely agree that his boost in effort on D was the noticeable difference in that 2nd half, thats what we need from him. he doesnt always play defense consistently, he (seemingly) depends on switches, for a few years now at least. i dont know if thats him not being engaged on D or him following the assigned gameplan. many games im watching him not following his man, not prepared for/reacting to cuts, and then yelling at his teammates once his matchup scores or gets an assist. im a Cavs/Bron fan, ive pulled many hairs off my head watching him do this kinda stuff. its stressful.
i guess he's earned that at this stage in his career so i can understand, its year 21 i get it. but when we need it, we need it. i feel like he tricks the people that just see the steal/chasedown highlights, the game tells the true story. the lakers are already not the greatest man-D team, constantly recovering and getting beat by switches/cutters just makes it worst. thats just what i see, i could be wrong/missing details and asking too much of him. but that 2nd half, thats who we need in these playoffs
slowed down euro bank shot 😭😭😭
Bron can't be much worse than darvin hamas 😂
Yes! They should let him coach, cause win or loose, this will shut the door on the goat debate, because it would be 1000 percent on him, no excuses either way
Nice to see Coach giving bron his flowers
He should. He’s good at watching his team from afar, telling everybody what they need to do coz he can’t do it himself.
He hasn't been the best player on the Lakers since AD got there let's stop the cap ...
Lebron and AD are 1A and 1B. They both need eachother.
so why was LeBron leading the MVP race in 2021 before Solomon Hill dove into his legs?
@@darrylneiltanyag2487 same reason he won that in season tournament BS MVP when he was clearly not the best player on the Lakers during it ... Cause Adam Silver said so. Are you intentionally big dense ? Or you're just a BronSexual ? :))
If a now 30yr old AD was _not_ better than a 39yr old LeBron James, there would be a huge problem.
Regardless, their skillsets are complimentary: AD is an incredible (and consistent) defender, while LeBron is still a superlative playmaker.
@@henryviiifake8244 you keep telling your self that lover boy.... the rest of the world is done with LeFlop James, cause that's gonna be his legacy the anti-flopping rule, stacking super teams to win anything and throwing your team mates under the bus whenever he doesn't win ...
I’m not an expert at all but if you have intelligent and elite defenders like Lebron and AD wouldn’t you want to refrain from switching so much? That seems like overkill. I get the adjustment Lebron made. I also remember AD confirming he doesn’t like switching because of what he brings defensively. On that DLO podcast episode.
You switch to conserve energy because their best player is in his 21st year. Lebron wears out and becomes ineffective on offense if he is having to glue to every teams best player. He is too important on offense as well...just a messed up situation that AD is so inconsistent, never got a 3 point shot and the lakers guards are awful in perimeter defense. Even today, Lebron locked down zion and they only switched when the Lakers were up 20 to rest lebron...super sad he has to do so much for an 8 seed that will get bounced 1st round.
IMO they we’re throwing mixed coverages at Harden and Kawhi. More-so these are botched defensive rotations and lapses (a lot on Austin and Rui lol)
lebron is like an employee that wont retire but jordan already retired perfect record in the finals and has his own shoe that is regarded as the gold standard for shoes
Nba been rigging games for LeBalco James the last 2 seasons
Imagine how difficult it is. Coaching LeBron freaking James. Especially when all you are was darvin Hamm
Darvin Hands In Pocket Ham
When you listen to the full podcast, Lebron actually says they wanted to switch because they wanted to preserve energy cause they thought Game was over... so he vetoed the switching when they were down big
A coach should be the leader, Lebron is not a leader. He can be an assistant coach
Bron will never be out of the NBA. For sure he will coach a team until he dies
You guys have no clue about how fire bron’s retirement is about to be he’s looking to own a team he wants to own the Vegas team but the competition for that team is going to be fierce but he will be coaching his career is going to be so dope
im surprised Bron let Ham get away with too many noob decisions this season.
Haven't watched the full video, and I'm new to this, but I thought sometimes the Lakers didn't switch because of bad shooters like theis or because the clippers didn't force it 🤷🏿
Brons defense considering his age is a sight to see
Darvin ham ain’t it, this coming from a lakers fan
You knew LeCoach right at the moment he played 1st game for Lakers 😅😅😅 LeGM did, too!!! He is the GOAT because he can play too many roles well at the same time in a basketball game than any others ❤❤❤
I can’t wait to get rid of Darvin this summer 😔
Can't understand why Lakers front office insist on hiring a Novice Inexperienced "Deer in Headlight" Coach to run the Lakers team with once in a generation duo Lebron & AD. Its like building a Supercar & hire a student driver to compete in Le Mans or Daytona.
lol it’s always the coaches fault when they lose it’s so funny
Mike Brown definitely deserved more love for what he did in Cleveland even with Lebron’s great play that’s a 5th seed without Coach brown
Coaching is always blamed first
Did you watch the video at all ????
@@mattmmixes Mike Brown was a decent coach, and definitely improved after Cleveland. This issue was bad personnel around Lebron due to management, and bad relation due to obvious issues. Mike Brown and Lebron butted heads because of this. Since leaving the Cavs, his teams have always had better personnel. Was with Lakers with Kobe and Gasol, fired. Was with Warriors as an assistant with the dynasty(played well into game planning vs lebron in finals), and now he is with Sacramento with an amazing team with great players. Mike brown has never been without superstars.
@@EndlessMahogany nobody on the kings in a superstar. They’re a good team but there’s maybe 3 other coaches who get them to where MB has got them. He’s maximized Sabonis and with his playstyle that’s hard to do in the 2020s.
The coach and player has not happened since bill did it and won the championship that’s crazy to think about
Lebron the fucking goat . Always locking up Kawhi
Lakers need Vanderbuild badly. You cant have 39 year old Bron guarding the best player from the other team for a hole game. You need him for other things.
He’s been coaching, Hams just there to be a scapegoat
All this shows me, is how Darvin is clueless. Which I already knew, but this is just more proof.
No. Not possible... Especially when they will lose a game. He will leave his team before the game ends and heads to the locker room. It's odd, right?
also anyone else is better than Ham, y’all do realize that the lakers are possibly 5/6th seed if not for Ham love affair with 4 guards and Prince earlier in the season
The bubble was coached by Jason Kidd Rajon Rondo and Lebron James .
I like LeB. less and less. Even you do not see LeB. famous defensive help without helping, after 21 years in the league you should be able to position yourself much better. How many DPOY´s has the genius LeB.? Exactly. At 10th in the west, maybe LeB. should listen to Ham. Or finally retire. And A.D. is the best player of the Lakers.
nice thumbnail btw
Let’s be totally honest, Lebron will never want full accountability so he will definitely want to coach Lakers because if they lose, he won’t be able to avoid scrutiny by diverting it to someone else. But should they win, you can bet your house, your mom’s house and your neighbors house that he will take full credit for it.
Can you plz start making videos of other teams than lakers and their players, past 30 videos you have made 7 been about lakers players , thats 23.33%.. kinda high number for past 5 months but fan is fan i quess.
LeBron is already coaching. Nba doesn't allow player-coaches bcos they dont want players to draw salaries for two different employment positions.
I'm just glad to see Bron paying defense
I used to think I had a decent grasp of the game of basketball and then Mind the Game came out and I now realize I know nothing and Lebron should totally LeCoach instead of LeGMing.
Not sure if there is another guy on the planet as equipped to make coaching decisions in game then lebron
He already GMs so he can coach as well.
the Goat!
Of course LeBron is the coach when they win but when they lose the actual coach gets the criticism 💀
I mean LeBron gets trashed no matter what happens, win or lose. It's just that we only see Ham get trashed when they lose so it's more noticeable.
Well if ever he will be a coach. hope he get the same treatment the way he treat his coaches.
Yeah he should just to take away another excuse.
Doesn't matter tbh, bron fans will always find an excuse its never bron's fault.
By all means. Let's see where it gets him.
Darvin Ham is a horrible coach. I'm not sure how he got the job.
You and every Lakers fan.
Le!Cap
Sugarcane Up
Of Course he’s already the coach though ! TB if basketball 🏀
This is good for all the dummies out there who thinks Bron doesn't play defense. Guys are clueless.
1 of these LA superteams should be playing in the Finals.... but... there's a Joker they can't defeat in 7.
This statement actually answers why some people don't like Lebron. I think Lebron's defense on Kawhi actually made the difference. All this switch/non-switch "mastermind" nonsense is just pumping ego. No need for that since his playing made the difference
Hater
@@MrWhoo30 cry me a river. What's you gonna do about it?
Do you really believe this Coach Nick?
Imagine one of your players openly tell the team you don’t know what you’re talking about and override you in front of your face. That’s emasculating. No team can function at a high level with this lack of leadership.
I understand Lebron probably understands the game more, but these should be discussions between him and Ham behind closed doors
The problem with this video judging by the comment section is that lebron is in complete control of rotations, timeouts, subbing, defensive and offensive play style when it’s simply just not true lebron has a ton of haters these dudes are so insane they literally think he’s making every play call and decision the entirety of the game for the lakers yes lebron does call and change certain plays but I can assure you it’s because of Darvin ham aka Mr hands in his pockets is simply not a good coach
Darvin Ham is just sticking his hand to his pockets.
Bron might pass mike in number of rings when he starts coaching!
These warrior fans will always go to no end to try an undermind Lebron 😂😂😂
no
This video kills the LeBron plays no defense narrative....
