If LaBron wants certain players, they get them, no questions asked. And one day he will just walk away, mostly likely leaving the team in a mess..

What are we talking about here. Hire JJ Reddick to make people happy? What has happened to media and this league???

Good riddance of LeBalco James. NBA been rigging games for LeBalco for 2 seasons now with that insane free throw disparity. Darvin Ham is the newest scapegoat baby.

Watching this video made me so annoyed 😂 Darvin Ham was terrible, Lebron & Ad was carrying them in that series

Joy and TJ are making me sick smh. Thank you James and Rick. James been cooking lately 🔥

James and Rick on 🔥🔥🔥

How did lebron saying he doesn't know if he will be back have anything to do with Darvin Ham being fired. He said the same thing last year.

lol where is acho cause hes the worst coach i have ever seen

Why are they acting like keeping Darvin Ham was gonna get the Lakers anywhere? Yeah there's no guarantee the next guy will do any better, but we KNOW it wasn't gonna work with Darvin Ham. Dude has made some awful lineup choices and decisions, he looks like he's in over his head half the time. The Lakers still need to fix the roster, but firing Ham at the end of the day was the right move. I just wish they could fire Pelinka too. These dudes don't even watch the games. That being said, TJ is AWFUL at making arguments.

Agreed, all TJ had to do was point at how Ham didn’t even bother to call timeouts during Denver’s runs as they cut into EVERY lead. That would’ve shut them up.

The Lakers roster isn't trash. They were good enough to have a lead 70% of the series. Ham is a young coach and could've made a few different decisions but the players folded including Lebron.

Tom Brady leaves the Patriots and wins a Silver Platter Super Bowl gift wrapped, and Belicheck’s teams start losing. The media killed Belicheck because they weren’t going to allow the public to trash the goat. I never heard this same energy for Belicheck even though he won all of those Super Bowls?

Right. They lost 13 out of 14 games I believe. A lot of them where close games at the end or they where up by a decent amount during the games. His late game play calling during those close games is what really caused them to lose them close games. Lebron isn't young anymore and can't take over so his coach has to be able to put them in some effective sets.

@@lewalcindor9356 I don't think its lebron fault at this age cause he's a roll player. I think it's the whole team fault. Darvin play calling at the end of games, AD not stepping up in the fourth quarters, the office not going after a big that could give Jokic problems even if the brought back Dwight. An Lebron not forcing AD into playing pick and roll to pull Jokic to him and either going at him to try to get him in foul trouble or atleast tiring him out. With Lebron, DLo, and Austin they should played pick and rolls all day with whoever Jokic was guarding. It's all their fault but your not going to fire the 2 stars.

You can tell on the panel who didn't watch the lakers this year and it shows lol

Darwin Ham was just the Fall guy for the lakers, they didn't want to blame the Front office , the G.M. they needed a fall guy.

Literally no one on this panel understands basketball, so why do they even talk about it? First, you have to ask whether Coaching in the NBA matters. If no, then it doesn't matter whether Ham is the coach or not. If yes, then how do we evaluate the coach? What is the coach responsible for? (We can ask a similar question about the GM). The coach is responsible for rotations, the offensive & defensive scheme, calling time outs, challenging plays, etc. We have heard the players (and some media members) complaining about Ham's rotations and player management all year. We also saw two games that Lakers lost to the Nuggets by 2pts, where timeouts were significant. Those are things to evaluate Ham's coaching tenure on. Similarly, either the Nuggets are the best team in the west or they aren't. If they aren't, then you can't use the Lakers losing to the Nuggets as an excuse to keep Ham as the coach. If they are, then there was a chance for the Lakers to be up in the series 3-2, and so, the Lakers are a championship contender (since any time that could have beat the best team in the west is a contender).

great segment by James. he had the best takes in this by faaar

LRJ had issues when Coach K was there on the Olympics after adding Kobe so they could win gold.

Hello, Lakers Management, Y'all Fired The Wrong Person. LeBron is The Lakers Coach, Not Darvin Ham. 😂😂😂

I like how these same people critique DH for just keeping his hands in his pockets, and now that he gets fired, they are willing to switch the blame elsewhere. DH failed as a coach, and that's a fact!

The coach was the scapegoat

The NBA and the NBPA need to get this whole coaching thing figured out. It's hurting too many teams, jobs, and can eventually hurt some players legacies if taken too far. They gotta stop firing coaches just because he's had one or two bad seasons.

I think I saw joy in a good mood she genuinely smiled and laughed I've never seen her so beautiful she needs to keep that going

Ham lost the locker room. When D'lo, the only guy supporting you also turned his back on you, then you're gone. Let's not forget that LeBron wanted Ty lue, but Jeanie hired another. Isn't that the same in other sports that when a coach lost the locker room and lost the respect of his players, they're gone? Also, have we forgotten that Denver and Lakers was close until the end of all 5 games? An adjustment would've made the series longer, instead Ham got outcoached by Mike Malone in the 2nd half of those games. Atrocious game planning, rotations and play calls. And if you watched the series, there were a lot of instances especially in game 3 where there were a lot of Lakers just running around the court, now knowing what they're doing. So AD was right when he pointed that out.

the lakers have one of the best rosters in the NBA 2023-24 season on paper yo..

Most of the key players didn't like what he was doing. Rui came off the bench and didn't like it. Reeves came off the bench and didn't like it. AD and Bron didn't believe in his strategy. DLo hated the benchings and lack of belief. D Ham is just a guy. Not bad, not good. They were a play-in team both years. Let's not make him Phil Jackson. Not once has anyone mentioned what D Ham did great strategically at any point during his tenure??? He wasn't a motivator, not a great X/Os, just a guy.

I think they should give JJ a shot but if they don’t then why don’t they give Mark Jackson a call he’s a really good coach. Look how he had the Warriors playing before Kerr got there he had them playing great and then Kerr just took them to another level

As a coach, you have to come up with the strategy to beat the Rope-a-Dope Nuggets. Too many losses to the same team! Also, the personnel management, time out management, etc was more than questionable. He couldn't figure it out, so he had to go.

Wow good to see TJ! Excellent commentator! More of TJ!

Shout out from Guam 🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺

The woman in the gray suit has a deep voice 😮! Blame Darvin, Westbrook, or blame AD, blame bench players...

I feel sorry for Darvin. He didn’t do the best job coaching but he didn’t deserve to lose his job.
