@@I.am_Groot I have MJ as the goat, but this has got to be the worst anti-Bron argument I've in some time. Bill played when the NBA was still new, there were 9 teams, basically no skilled players, no strategy/set plays, no basketball specific training, etc. Players back then needed a coach as much as I need a coach for a game of pickup basketball. They weren't running plays, it was back to the basket and dunk or hook shoot. I could have coached the Celtics and win. There's 70 years of evolution since Bill's days, more skilled players, analytics, sports science, training camps, full coaching staff, over a hundred different plays coaches could run, etc. It's not the same as the 50s and 60s. If you want to use a modern example (2010+), go for it, but miss me with the 50s.

JJ Redick has good ball knowledge and a high basketball IQ. Game analysis is different to real time decision making and play calling in game.... This could turn out bad or could be a revelation. However .... Lakers need to improve their team. Spencer dinwidie and Gabe Vincent are useless, Rui & Dlo are too inconsistent. Christian woods is Meh. Only players with upside are Lebron, AD, Reaves, Prince, Vando and I like Christie too he doesn't get much playing time but dude can ball out.
How about Rondo?
James Borrengo? Redick? Give me a break! GO BIG!
My biggest concern with JJ (besides inexperience) would be respect in the locker room... especially if things goes south.
And folks think LeGM isn’t a real thing lmao
