JJ Redick on LeBron: "He's amazing to coach"

[NyKnicks1714]

"BS. He's just saying that cause they're buddies."

Ok...fine. Now please share all the negative things LeBron's other coaches have said about him.

[Tottery]

LeBron has always been considered a good teammate and leader. Or course you have the deranged group of people who get upset by anything LeBron does saying otherwise, but he sets the gold standard for how to approach and play the game.

Inb4 the usual suspects get extremely butthurt by this thread.

Do we really really need another Lebum main board thread ? Also didn't LBJ want Spo fired at Miami and got Vogel fired at the Lakers?

JJ is a puppet of LBJ it needs to be said as well so we cannot take any testimonials of him seriously

that was even faster than I expected.

I mean the guy is not wrong. That did happen with Spo and was well covered at the time. Blatt got fired and replaced by a yes man in Ty Lue and JJ is another puppet coach for LBJ. Let's not gloss over that no one wanted the LAL head coach job before this season started so they hired a podcaster. Ham was rightfully let go because he was a bad coach but the fact that he even got the job in the first place says a lot.

The last actual NBA level coach that also got them a ring in 2020 was sacked. Because he actually tried to coach the team and LBJ. Some egos can't take critisism at all. And some fanboys will put blinders on.

Non of this takes away any of the greatness of LBJ as a player btw. At the very top all time at the minimum. With a different mindset maybe could've had his very own tier though.

Pretty sure Vogel was scapegoated to save Pelinkas face. Its not like coaches weren't in the running. They simply chose Reddick for his age and nepotism lol.

Considering that you're implying that the Cavs had no coaching after Blatt got fired in 2016, that means Coach James became the first player/coach to comeback from a 3-1 finals deficit to win the championship. I'd say that is enough for him to have his own tier.

No I said he got a proper coach fired and replaced with his yes man. You are arguing a point I never made and one I alrady said I agree with.

You seriously haven't been following JJ. That guy is not a puppet of anyone. I remember JJ his first day on the job went at Stephen A Smith on his own show. That guy speaks his mind and doesn't back down from anyone.

He genuinely likes coaching LeBron.

lol they just had a podcast together not even a few months back.. has jj redick come out at all to critique lebrons defense.. if not, then yes he is a puppet.

Redick is a analytics guy so im sure he is aware that the lakers are a +4.2 when lebron is off the court and a -1.7 when lebron is on the court, only so many guys you can trade and scapegoat before people zero in on the issue and like vogel, darvin ham, and any other coach as soon as you call lebron out.. might as well start the moving plans

[sashaturiaf]

I don't know about you. But I don't place much value on a henchmens words when he's speaking about the dictator that appointed him.

I'm sure Lukashenko would say Putin's a great guy too, you just have to know him.

[ScrantonBulls]

- Lakers coach gives high praise to LeBron James
- LeBron James Derangement sufferers: "It simply can't be true!!! He's just saying that!!1"

I've never seen grown men get so upset over a sports figure with a clean record. It's astonishing.

Of course, all people agree that the way LeBron behaved after JR Smith's blunder in the 2018 Finals was the perfect example of leadership under pressure.
And those are not - they must belong to the deranged group of people you mentioned.

Anybody with even lick of competitiveness would react the same way as LeBron did to JR after that massive blunder. You'd have to not give a **** about winning or be a complete wimp to react otherwise. I feel like you probably never played sports if you think somebody can just react completely calmly after something like that.

You said Reddick is a puppet coach for Lebron. You also said Lue is a yes man, which is basically the same as a puppet coach. So you 100% are saying that Lebron was the catalyst not only as the best player but also the one calling the shots on a championship team, that also had a historic finals win?

You played yourself.

Blatt was the proper coach? Which team hurried up and signed him after getting fired?

If Lue was a yes man (like you said) with Cleveland in 2016, then that means you're implying it was LeBron who coached the Cavs to a title.

[MrBigShot]

Coaching LeBron clearly sucks if this thread is any indication, because if you win you get zero credit and if you lose you get blamed for losing.

[OxAndFox]

Can't it be somewhere in the middle?
LeBron is a great player to coach. Well DUHHH. I never heard Phil be complimentary to MJ or Pop to Timmy.
Coach is heaping, potentially too much, praise on his star player. I know, it's NEVER been done before right?

nailed it.

The nba is insufferable lol

[MrPainfulTruth]

Nobody likes backstabbers or people who have ulterior motives. We can even see this right now in the political world and why the country voted the way it did. What's the saying, "dont **** in my cereal and tell me it's raining."

Being transparent will draw in people. As opposed to being "perceived" as the good guy/woman who you find out are pathological liars

Nah, people voted the way they did because they are easily manipulated. One side was just better at controlling the narrative.

"i wont pardon my son"

"the border is secure"

americans never forget bro..

and those were just the 2 obvious quotes lol, like i said politicians in washington these past 4 years were operating like we are still in the 90's and not like we arent in the digital age, places like x/twitter are now showing people whats happening not just in the country but around the world, and their messaging tends to fall on deaf ears now as opposed to before. Also they foolishly doubled down and tried to censor people/platforms because they couldnt control what was being shown on x, and to a lesser extent tiktok. Regardless of how you feel about the joker we have in office now, what nobody can deny is he is usually if able readily available to the press and takes questions from ALL media outlets, like i know people who are lifelong left leaning voters who gave donny credit for daring to go on platforms where he wasnt usually well liked and sat and talked, its little things like this that make impressions on everyday working americans that feel largelyy like their voices arent being heard

Strong disagree with most you said (and feels like read right off Musks platform) but i dont think this is the right forum to discuss Musk Trump vs. Biden Harris. Just stop and move over to the affairs forum.

[MrPainfulTruth]

Its getting more bizarre by the day in here. The Klutch shills and influencers - two of which are very prominent in this thread - come up with a daily nonsense post about how great LeBron is and how terrible MJ is. Now its "LeBron is so coachable", whihc of all the claims is probably the most ridiculous. But sure, LBJ is perfect, JJ is a great coach...whats the plan for tomorrows' thread? Bronnie is a future all star?

I hope everyone notices how certain (not all!) mods edit away every critical thread ("hey we already have a thread for this!") while leaving all of these untouched. Very telling.

[MrPainfulTruth]

Hopefully only one ore two more years.

[LockoutSeason]

Cavs were 30-11 when they fired David Blatt. He never coached again in the NBA despite his success. He probably just didn’t like coaching in the NBA.

He also wasn’t exactly lighting it up when he returned to Europe. The game may have just passed him by.

LeBron so insecure he has to use JJ to remind everyone he’s a billionaire and better than everyone else
