@SWISHOUT Comment on SWISHOUT's Video: "This is Actually the Hardest Job in NBA History" As an avid basketball fan, I find the topic of LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, both intriguing and complex. Let's dive into the layers of this discussion. 1. Bronny James and Expectations: - It's undeniable that being LeBron James' son comes with immense pressure. The spotlight is always on Bronny, and every move he makes is scrutinized. Whether he's playing high school ball or participating in AAU tournaments, the expectations are sky-high. - The idea of Bronny attending a 4-year college at a mid-major is interesting. On one hand, it would allow him to develop his skills, gain experience, and be the focal point of a team. On the other hand, the allure of going straight to the NBA, following in his father's footsteps, is tempting. But is it fair to expect him to be NBA-ready right away? 2. LeBron's Influence and Selfishness: - LeBron James is arguably the greatest basketball player of his generation. His influence extends beyond the court. However, his involvement in Bronny's career raises questions. Is LeBron pushing his son too hard? Is he living vicariously through him? Or is he genuinely trying to guide Bronny's path? - The financial aspect is intriguing. LeBron's wealth shouldn't evoke sympathy for Bronny, but it does highlight the privilege and unique challenges he faces. Money can't shield him from the emotional toll of expectations. 3. Media and the LeBron Legacy: - The media plays a significant role in shaping narratives. Bronny's every move is dissected, analyzed, and sometimes blown out of proportion. The constant comparisons to his father can be suffocating. - LeBron's legacy looms large. Will Bronny be able to carve out his own identity? Or will he forever be LeBron's son, regardless of his achievements? 4. JJ Redick: From Player to Podcaster to Coach: - JJ Redick's transition from player to podcaster has been fascinating. His thoughtful questions and insights make him a valuable voice in basketball discussions. - Now, as he steps into the head-coaching role, the challenge is immense. Coaching isn't just about Xs and Os; it's about managing personalities, motivating players, and navigating the complexities of the NBA. 5. The Hardest Head-Coaching Job: - Coaching an NBA team is no walk in the park. The pressure, expectations, and scrutiny are relentless. Every decision is magnified. Redick's journey from player to coach will test his mettle. - Can he strike the right balance between authority and empathy? Can he handle superstar egos and locker room dynamics? Only time will tell. In the end, Bronny James faces a unique set of circumstances. While his father's legacy casts a long shadow, he must find his own path-one that balances ambition, development, and personal fulfillment. As for JJ Redick, let's hope he brings the same thoughtfulness from his podcast to the sidelines. Coaching might just be the hardest job in NBA history, but it's also one of the most rewarding-if done right. 🏀🔥
Man you are my favorite NBA basketball content TH-camr, i pray you keep going cause you're videos aren't pr trained and it's your own good humble opinion along with the fire beat choices. I love it bro. Keep going!
As football(soccer) fan that started playing and watching basketball later in life it's crazy how easy it is to become an NBA coach. You can basically be hired from the street. It's such a contrast to soccer where you need to study for a coaching license for at least a year. Plus there are multiple tiers of licenses and a team gets fined every time they are coached by someone without a license. I feel the NBA can benefit from some sort formal coaching education, because the amount of guys hired with little to no experience is mind boggling. I honestly don't know how NBA owners are comfortable letting these guys learn on the job.
I think its fine the way it is now. While that soccer tidbit is cool i dont think the problem isnt because coaches dont have licenses its that the gms and front offices hire nobodies to begin with. As well as just recycling old failed coaches, theyre the ones picking their own demise. They wanna be bad? Thats their choice, just look at LA and whats happening there
It’s an unwritten rule most nba coaches spend time as assistant coaches or work in the front office to get experience before being offered a head coach job. This is just the rarest case ever
The Reims and Will Still from last season comes in mind for the ‘fine’ point. I swear he got fired in the end and I don’t think it was performance based. Maybe because they got tired of having to pay a fine all the time
i wish they kept vogel and the crew from 2020. they really could've competed w DG, caruso, dwight, rondo, etc going forward that was a very unique team
This might sound crazy but looking at how many coaches LeBron has gone through. May give some insight into why he’s only been able to win 4 chips in his 20plus year career. Look at all the Dynasties and repeat champions in the NBA ever. They all have a stable and consistent organization. From the top of ownership, down to the head coaching staff.
@@impacc4182 not so hot take: the cavs without the 2nd lebron stint would have been competetive... the problem with bron is the blame game he is playing. you need scapegoats. he never has enough help. it always someone elses fault. so there is a constant roster turnover. you cant get a cohesive unit who knows each other through and through if three quater of the team changes within 2 years. and the coach never has anything to say. even the gm usally is a puppet. its no wonder bron only dominated the leauge with the heat. an organization which didnt take his crap. thats no coincidence. if lebron was coachable he could have been the goat... but he is too soft and grew up without male rolemodel. it just shows.
@@hoebertrabeck1621 You bron haters takes are so tired, really. I read your little essay yall are like broken records, the cavs were in the basement of the East before bron got there even after getting 2 number 1 picks. The only reason they made the finals was because of bron as love and Kyrie were hurt. Second this whole “blaming teammates and finding scapegoats” is strictly the media as bron never once threw his teammates under the bus and even got mad at a reporter for implying his teammates sucked. Bron also being in the goat debate constantly was under slander from you trolls because he lost multiple times against a dynasty golden state so relax and stop acting like bron never got any blame.Your last comment just shows you’re a troll lmao bron is the goat at worst is second all time. You probably think Kobe is top 5 huh? I agree there’s a lot that comes with bron being on your team but he’s also always a guaranteed contender get that hate out your heart and cope
@@hoebertrabeck1621 you’re right it’s not a hot take, you bron haters are so tired I’m not finna entertain your little essay lol and ps the cavs would not have been ANYTHING without LeBron they were in the basement of the East before he got there but sure they definitely would’ve made the finals in 2015😂lord I admit there’s alot that comes with bron on your team like the video said but stop acting like his benefits don’t out way the cons
I think this offseason showed how undesirable that job is. Boston's hottest assistant coach decided Charlotte was a better destination, Budenholzer decided that Phoenix was better (who are arguably in a worse situation than the Lakers), and they threw so much money at Dan Hurley only for him to decide he'd rather stay in college.
Man, if JJ survives this year, there's 0% chance he survives year 2 if Lebron hasnt retired. The media and fans will say he's wasting Lebron's last days. If LBJ did retire, then the pressure would be iff and JJ could build a younger group around AD and have a rebuild
Can y’all please stop this darvin ham stuff ? The dude was not a good coach, terrible rotations, no respect from the players, braindead game plans and ect
I remember when the season was actually taking place, EVERYONE agreed Ham was trash. But once he actually got fired, all the trolls and content creators and media analysts started crawling out of the woodwork as if he got victimized or something.
@@ClareAmel Mike Wilson’s headass started glazing Ham after he was fired saying LeBron and AD didn’t take accountability. Bro clearly doesn’t watch ball
@@SWISHOUT I think he got dealt a good hand. You can't say the roster didn't improve that year when Rob traded away westbrook, Lebron was still recovering from his injury. When he came back, Lebron lost 12 pounds, clearly not the same player he was before injury, and bought the team to the western conference finals. That's very good for Darvin Ham's resume considering how the team didn't have chemistry due to all these mid season trades and Lebron's injury. Last season was fucking inexcusable.
I like JJ as a podcaster, asks great questions. Never really liked him debating on TV. He always came off condescending. As an announcer he was ok. Let’s see how he does with the hardest head coaching job.
He was brought up in media to do just that. To be a counterpart to the old media model of drama and name-calling people like Skip and Stephen A represent. He's the face of a new route in which media is trying to get back to talk about the game of basketball and let behind the hyper focus on soap opera drama
I think part of the Lakers season is going to come down to the coaching and how JJ Reddick and the coaching staff handle the rotations and lineups for the Lakers.🏀💯
Calling him a Savant when said disrespectful comments about the players who were building blocks for why the league is what it is was the craziest statement in this video
Fs I love Lebron and everything he has meant to sports but at the same time a lot comes with being on the same team as him . At that point all that development shit is thrown out the window and it’s all about competing for championships. Plus every team he’s on the spotlight is always on them
@@adriandantedanosos4146 nah not like lebron. if anything with messi it’s the other way around. i very much agree that ronaldo’s teammates and coaches experience this
Darvin Ham I understand, but David Blatt? Dude, David was fired as the #1 SEED ON THE EAST. It wasn't like he was barely making the playoffs like Ham was.
@@luisenriqueperezperez3193he had a tendency to bench kyrie at the worse times which lead to losses and he was budding heads with bron. u can’t keep a coach like that
Blatt had coached them to the finals the year before and to the #1 seed that year when he was fired mid season. If he lost the players or locker room they would have been a crap show, they weren't. Lebron just didn't like him. That's it.
@@EddieWoodsRemnantOutreach no he didn’t coach shit😭 that was lebron and kyrie and love. kinda like the steve kerr kind a coaching cause that next year they won with tyron lue
From an X’s and O’s perspective the Lakers will be more than fine but good look getting grown men to respect you as a coach with no experience just based on your relationship with James
lol yeah, jj is buggin man. I don’t see why he would take that job. He didn’t even take the “assistant coach” route. If he REALLY wanted to be a head coach, why not the pistons? Or like the hornets? A team that’s rebuilding with young assets? He has to know he’s going to be the scapegoat lol
Lecoachkiller still chasing Jor🐐 in big 2024. LeGM is an all time player. All he’s doing is separating himself from #3, whoever that is. Whether it’s Kobe , Kareem, etc. Unless he wins rings, he will never catch Michael Jeffrey Jordan
Bronny should have been a 4 year college player at some mid major so he could be the guy and get a lot of reps. It’s unfair to Bronny that all these overly high expectations are being put on him by Bron and the media. I don’t feel bad for him financially because his dads a billionaire but I do think this was extremely selfish of Bron and ruined his own sons best chance at having an actual development and a productive career
How is he ruining Bronnys development? He's actually improving his development, coz now Bronny plays G league against decent players and also gets some NBA minutes in garbage time, and also hangs around the team in practices and sees the size difference of the NBA. Anybody that can be "the guy" in college would want to sniff a part of an NBA roster, and Bronny gets that golden opportunity. You don't know what you are talking about
JJ talking about how he wants to run more three point plays for LeBron, like you have the greatest rim finisher the game has ever seen and you want him shooting threes, I dont have a good feeling for that lol
I remember an old video you did on this. Having LeBron on the team is both a blessing and a curse. You might be guaranteed a championship but it will be hell and then some to get there.
As a Lakers fan, I agree with you that the narratives and expectations can be very toxic. I consider myself a reasonable Laker fan, so I know the Lakers are not going to be competing for a championship this season with these new additions, it's literally impossible. With this being JJ Redick's first year as a head coach, I don't expect him to magically lead the Lakers to a top 5 seed and to a championship nor do I expect Bronny to win ROTY. I understand that these things take time and that the Lakers probably won't be good for another few years. But I am glad Darvin Ham moved on because there were some plays where he just showed inaction when he needed to make a good call.
My heart goes out to Bronny, he has the kind of scrutiny you see on a #1 pick. It's unfair to him, but completely justifiable based on how the people around him handled it. All due respect, it's bad parenting to put your ego before your son's developmental needs. I hope Bronny will get the chance to thrive in the G League where players get developmental support in a high-accountability but low-media-scrutiny setting.
A lot of people just have no clue what coaching is really all about. I don't care what level , coaching is the hardest job in the world. Even people with experience have difficulties in coaching and JJ Reddick is going to find out the hard way just how hard coaching really is. Particularly when you have to deal with the politics of coaching LeBron James and dealing with the fact that he wants his kid to be playing with him.
I'm really glad no FA signed with the Lakers as it's all explained in the video. No one wants to tank in value playing for the Lakers/Lebron and have their job a lot harder with everyone wanting Bronny and LeGM to be on the court together and hearing about it all the time, successful or not. I'd give JJ two years before being fired when they'd probably do another roster change to make the Lakers more competitive since their business move to draft Bronny may sadly not work out but they'd keep him anyway.
@@BlueGrovyle Yeah I expected another real change this summer but they lost Prince and I think Dinwiddie and then got their two rookies as they kept the same roster. I do expect them to make a major change next Feb though
I guarantee u if lebron had Phil Jackson for a coach and that Bulls organization that did its job something like that in Cleveland y’all wouldn’t criticize him like this cause let’s not forget he came into league fresh out high school with HOF to Goat expectations or bust.
Jordan was the best player of the 80s but was on a bad team he watched Bird, Magic and Isaiah get 6/7 championships between them before he even made to his first finals from 1984-1990. Jordan overcame his adversities and narratives that were thrown against him.
@@TheRealDarth_Vader u can say the same thing about lebron he literally made the finals in year 4 and got swept by the spurs. He’s faced the big 4 Celtics with no help. He ain’t have no help until he left for Miami. Not saying Jordan didn’t go thorough adversity I’m saying give bron Phil Jackson as a coach and good teammates off the back and he would have already had a couple championships cause literally we’ve seen throughout his career him going far asf as the finals with less. Jordan had less and never made the finals until Scottie the most consistent 2 and Phil Jackson that’s my point.
Just another hire from LeCircus . also, why the F should any coach go under such scrutiny because of him? they should be allowed to do their job... where did the respect toward the coach go? when leflop wanted spoelstra gone, pat riley rightfully stood up and said shut up spo is the coach - and seeing lebron bumping him on the shoulder on the way to the bench... nah, just nah, you don't treat your coach like that.
I don't know whats hard about that job. J.J. only has to do what LeBron wants him to do. Easy job description: "Be LeBrons puppet". But to be honest i really wonder if J.J. knows what he got himself into
Bro start putting the beats u put in the background in the description I done heard 2 beats in this vid that I recognize but can’t think of the songs and its killin me😂
Darvin definitely said it was just basketball and coached like he was coaching the pistons with a lakers squad just said go out and play in gonna be a fan.
Bron never had a Jackson, Pop, Nelson, Kerr. Ty, Spol and Brown are great but not like the others Edit: Ham’s 2024 season after going to WCF in 2023 was worthy of getting sacked. Disappointing with no improvement and poor coaching
@@riqosteel yes Steve Kerr. He was the one who transformed the Warriors offense from spamming pick and roll to free movement and spacing, while also starting Draymond Green in the role of a big. Their spacing, speed and IQ changed the game and forced most non-shooters out of the league.
I wish you touched on the 2nd half of Bronny in the summer league. Talking about the first 3 games wasn’t fair. Nobody is talking about Alexandre Sarr, who is way more athletic 😐
Just like how he "pulled it off" with westbrook? 😂 "Keep the samen energy" 😂. The one who did not keep the same energy was the guy who deleted his own tweet
I understand Darvin Ham got dealt a tough deal but we have to bring up the fact that he was actually a horrible coach. The lineups he used, the favoritism he showed to players that shouldn’t have been on the floor. Man really should’ve been gone and I don’t understand why they hired him.
What is "failure"? If what people have been saying is true, that Bronny isn't good enough even to be drafted with a second-round pick number that has produced maybe one notable player ever, is it more of a "failure" to be out of the league in a few years (absolute worst-case scenario now) or to have had the same name with a slim-to-none chance of making the league after 3-4 years in college? He at least gets to focus solely on basketball now and improve with the help of professional, NBA-level development trainers.
i think bronny can be a 6th man of the year typa player. still incredible. he's a project typa player now franchise turning player. And i think the lakers are the best place for him because they wont chase for a chip because their roster sucks, and his dad and his unc AD with the team. defensively his really great, elite even. offense is something u can work. remember fultz yall. he was absolutly trash first couple of season but now in orlando he was pretty great. not like superstar but great. As long bronny is not lazy he can be anything.
Lakers coaching job hasn't been stable since 2011. LeBron also clearly wanted them to get Ty Lue, a coach that he respects and speaks well of, and they fumbled. Is the job any easier because of LeBron? Of course not. But there are coach firings around the league every season.
U can always tell when people are just talking and didn’t watch the lakers. For some reason y’all are so sure the ham was wrongfully fired but can’t give one reason why he should’ve stayed or why he was a good coach
Ham should’ve been fired. But yall shouldn’t have had Ham in the first place. Yall should’ve never gotten rid of Vogel and never messed up the team that won that championship is his point. But for some reason LeBron’s teams are always making more and more changes to “get better” even when they’re doing good. That’s a bad habit.
@@derrickwhite6795 So it’s bad for teams to still try and get better when they’re already good? Y’all added Jrue holiday and porzingis to a team that made the finals. The difference is that your gm actually knows what he’s doing. Also this is exactly what I’m talking about with non lakers fans talking about our team it’s always obvious y’all don’t know what happened and are speaking off media narratives. The fact that you’re blaming lebron tells me enough because half of the mistakes that pelinka made that got us here (caruso for example) had absolutely nothing to do with lebron and even were the exact opposite of what he wanted. People taking the blame off of pelinka is exactly what that mf wants and u all eat it up
@@jourdanzero9312 first off you can’t even compare the move to get Jrue or Porzingis to getting Russ. The Lakers came off a championship and a season where their players got hurt due to them having to play in the bubble and decided to blow it up and get players that don’t fit. The Celtics came off back to back conference finals loses before they made a switch that made sense because they got players that fit. Also the Lakers decided to go for Russ when LeBron signed off on it. But even if you do want to say LeBron isn’t the main guy, then LeBron shouldn’t get no credit for bringing AD to LA. But I bet yall Lebron fans gone say till ya face turn blue that LeBron made the move to get AD. Stop saying LeBron is the reason for some moves then acting like he’s not for others. He has a whole track record of going over the GM. So if you want to ignore that record then you can, but I’m not delusional like you. It ain’t just narratives there’s stories from multiple people in the league from GMs to Owners to Coaches bruh.
@@derrickwhite6795 first off im not comparing the two actual teams and their situations. i am comparing the fact that the celtics after being up 2-1 in the finals with that team still went out and were looking for more to make their team better. Brad stevens literally said right after yall won this year that hes already looking to improve the roster. thats what good gms do. also the celtics arent the only example there are plenty more for u to look up. they didnt "decide to blow it up" do you think that they went after russ because they thought it would make the team worse? no they obviously did it to try and make the team better and were wrong about it. going out and trying to improve your roster no matter how good you are is a good thing and every gm in the league does it so we can drop that point. secondly im not a lebron fan, im a laker fan. i support my team and players, but im very objective about lebron. when lebron does something bad i call it out and when he does something good i give praise. i dont give a shit about any of that lebron's legacy narrative shit on either side so just end that whole thing there. i dont care about lebron getting credit for ad or whatever bullshit ur saying. can u find me a team that doesn't get a signoff and consult their best players before making a trade? u cant because its literally happened on every team everywhere around the league for years but its only a problem when lebron does it. im asking you since you know that lebron is the evil mastermind, why is russ the only player that he was able to get? why is ty lue not our coach right now?, why is brook lopez not on the team despite being willing to take a paycut to stay?, why did max christie get a 2 year deal?, why is caruso not here?, why did we let mo bamba and malik beasley walk for nothing instead of using them for trades?, why does cam fucking reddish have a player option locking up our roster spots? is it lebron? obviously not. its the guy who has the final say and whose JOB it is to build the team. thats why i say its so obvious u all have no idea what ur talking about because u all just obsess over the russ trade like they do on tv when there are WAY more issues that led to where we are now that were caused BY PELINKA. if its not your team then just stfu and stop spreading narratives what youre doing is exactly what pelinka wants
So nobody is going to talk about how lbj wanted T Lou? Lmao NO because y’all hate him and refuse to say anything positive about him It’s a shame because once he’s gone y’all won’t have anyone else to hate on but his son and Jj 😂
Forget the fact that every good coach he’s had since 2010 he’s won with. David Blatt never coached again. Luke Walton got with the Kings, fired and never coached again. Darvin Ham immediately knew he wasn’t getting any offers and went back to an assistant. The other coaches whatever, you can lose your memory to time. But defending DARVIN HAM???? Watch one Lakers game lmao I’m begging you. The night had Anthony Davis say he didn’t know what they were doing out there and he came back at him saying that wasn’t true. He’s the worst coach I’ve ever seen in my life.
I literally said coaching any Lebron James lead team is by far the hardest job in the NBA years ago and everybody called me dumb … I said it again last season regarding Darvin Ham and everybody called me dumb again … now all of a sudden every nba analysis and TH-camr is saying it and now it’s being viewed as eye opening news lol smh
Yall say all this LeGM stuff but look at the careers of other superstars who didnt consistently put pressure on their teams to put pieces around them to win. Nikola Jokic watched the nuggets be passive the past two seasons and had to demand they sign Westbrook. Closed mouths dont get fed
It all comes back to LeBron James. He maybe the second best player ever whatever it may be, he always has a circus around him and winning seems to always take a backseat to LeBron’s ego and making sure he is happy.

Comment on SWISHOUT's Video: "This is Actually the Hardest Job in NBA History"
As an avid basketball fan, I find the topic of LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, both intriguing and complex. Let's dive into the layers of this discussion.
1. Bronny James and Expectations:
- It's undeniable that being LeBron James' son comes with immense pressure. The spotlight is always on Bronny, and every move he makes is scrutinized. Whether he's playing high school ball or participating in AAU tournaments, the expectations are sky-high.
- The idea of Bronny attending a 4-year college at a mid-major is interesting. On one hand, it would allow him to develop his skills, gain experience, and be the focal point of a team. On the other hand, the allure of going straight to the NBA, following in his father's footsteps, is tempting. But is it fair to expect him to be NBA-ready right away?
2. LeBron's Influence and Selfishness:
- LeBron James is arguably the greatest basketball player of his generation. His influence extends beyond the court. However, his involvement in Bronny's career raises questions. Is LeBron pushing his son too hard? Is he living vicariously through him? Or is he genuinely trying to guide Bronny's path?
- The financial aspect is intriguing. LeBron's wealth shouldn't evoke sympathy for Bronny, but it does highlight the privilege and unique challenges he faces. Money can't shield him from the emotional toll of expectations.
3. Media and the LeBron Legacy:
- The media plays a significant role in shaping narratives. Bronny's every move is dissected, analyzed, and sometimes blown out of proportion. The constant comparisons to his father can be suffocating.
- LeBron's legacy looms large. Will Bronny be able to carve out his own identity? Or will he forever be LeBron's son, regardless of his achievements?
4. JJ Redick: From Player to Podcaster to Coach:
- JJ Redick's transition from player to podcaster has been fascinating. His thoughtful questions and insights make him a valuable voice in basketball discussions.
- Now, as he steps into the head-coaching role, the challenge is immense. Coaching isn't just about Xs and Os; it's about managing personalities, motivating players, and navigating the complexities of the NBA.
5. The Hardest Head-Coaching Job:
- Coaching an NBA team is no walk in the park. The pressure, expectations, and scrutiny are relentless. Every decision is magnified. Redick's journey from player to coach will test his mettle.
- Can he strike the right balance between authority and empathy? Can he handle superstar egos and locker room dynamics? Only time will tell.
In the end, Bronny James faces a unique set of circumstances. While his father's legacy casts a long shadow, he must find his own path-one that balances ambition, development, and personal fulfillment. As for JJ Redick, let's hope he brings the same thoughtfulness from his podcast to the sidelines.

@@hoebertrabeck1621 you’re right it’s not a hot take, you bron haters are so tired I’m not finna entertain your little essay lol and ps the cavs would not have been ANYTHING without LeBron they were in the basement of the East before he got there but sure they definitely would’ve made the finals in 2015😂lord I admit there’s alot that comes with bron on your team like the video said but stop acting like his benefits don’t out way the cons
I think this offseason showed how undesirable that job is. Boston's hottest assistant coach decided Charlotte was a better destination, Budenholzer decided that Phoenix was better (who are arguably in a worse situation than the Lakers), and they threw so much money at Dan Hurley only for him to decide he'd rather stay in college.
I couldn’t agree with you more on this video but what you said at 17:01 I 1000% agree, it’s Bronny’s career not Lebron’s that’s how it should be!
No cap
Man, if JJ survives this year, there's 0% chance he survives year 2 if Lebron hasnt retired. The media and fans will say he's wasting Lebron's last days. If LBJ did retire, then the pressure would be iff and JJ could build a younger group around AD and have a rebuild
No way he retires in the next 2 years while being on a max deal.
@@stefankatsarov5806 ahh does it last 2 seasons?
Can y’all please stop this darvin ham stuff ? The dude was not a good coach, terrible rotations, no respect from the players, braindead game plans and ect
Oh yeah he was terrible last year but he got dealt a tough hand to begin with was my point
When people say D Ham shouldnt have been fired they clearly didnt watch the lakers at all lol
I remember when the season was actually taking place, EVERYONE agreed Ham was trash. But once he actually got fired, all the trolls and content creators and media analysts started crawling out of the woodwork as if he got victimized or something.
@@ClareAmel Mike Wilson’s headass started glazing Ham after he was fired saying LeBron and AD didn’t take accountability. Bro clearly doesn’t watch ball
@@SWISHOUT I think he got dealt a good hand. You can't say the roster didn't improve that year when Rob traded away westbrook, Lebron was still recovering from his injury. When he came back, Lebron lost 12 pounds, clearly not the same player he was before injury, and bought the team to the western conference finals. That's very good for Darvin Ham's resume considering how the team didn't have chemistry due to all these mid season trades and Lebron's injury.
Last season was fucking inexcusable.
"A lot of former players say the craziest stuff".
So, ... Like JJ.
Just excited to see Lebalco's next scapegoat
I like JJ as a podcaster, asks great questions. Never really liked him debating on TV. He always came off condescending. As an announcer he was ok. Let’s see how he does with the hardest head coaching job.
Very condescending with Stephen a smith, it was hard to watch at times.
Cuz stephen a says the dumbest shiet 24/7 at this point
Dude was always a shill for the modern nba. Remember that "interview" he did with ben simmons in which he gave him a platform to keep making excuses?
He was brought up in media to do just that. To be a counterpart to the old media model of drama and name-calling people like Skip and Stephen A represent. He's the face of a new route in which media is trying to get back to talk about the game of basketball and let behind the hyper focus on soap opera drama
These bots man...

I wanna be a Lakers coach. You get paid millions, let go by the team, and they still pay you to sit at home.
I think part of the Lakers season is going to come down to the coaching and how JJ Reddick and the coaching staff handle the rotations and lineups for the Lakers.🏀💯
You think he'll make it till the all-star break ?

LeCoach Killer
As a fan of Lebron almost anything becomes a harder job once he’s involved.
Fs I love Lebron and everything he has meant to sports but at the same time a lot comes with being on the same team as him . At that point all that development shit is thrown out the window and it’s all about competing for championships. Plus every team he’s on the spotlight is always on them
ik i get harder when it comes to lebron🤤

Defending Darvin ham and David Blatt is hilarious
Exactly! LeBron did that! They didn’t do jack
Darvin Ham I understand, but David Blatt? Dude, David was fired as the #1 SEED ON THE EAST. It wasn't like he was barely making the playoffs like Ham was.
@@luisenriqueperezperez3193he had a tendency to bench kyrie at the worse times which lead to losses and he was budding heads with bron. u can’t keep a coach like that
Blatt had coached them to the finals the year before and to the #1 seed that year when he was fired mid season. If he lost the players or locker room they would have been a crap show, they weren't. Lebron just didn't like him. That's it.
@@EddieWoodsRemnantOutreach no he didn’t coach shit😭 that was lebron and kyrie and love. kinda like the steve kerr kind a coaching cause that next year they won with tyron lue
Shouldn't have fired Vogel

Swishout u disrespectful asf 😂
Nah it’s just fax tbh
@@cmonman1407 As a laker fan I agree
he's only spitting facts
JJ was plotting for that job
So because JJ can sit on a podcast and talk basketball that means that he can coach the game. Well why isn't Mark Jackson coaching?
Also the glazing of calling him a savant was crazy lmao
Cuz mark chillin
From an X’s and O’s perspective the Lakers will be more than fine but good look getting grown men to respect you as a coach with no experience just based on your relationship with James
at this point we might as well go for whichever basketball youtuber has the most followers 😂
lol yeah, jj is buggin man. I don’t see why he would take that job. He didn’t even take the “assistant coach” route.
If he REALLY wanted to be a head coach, why not the pistons? Or like the hornets? A team that’s rebuilding with young assets? He has to know he’s going to be the scapegoat lol
"mikail bridges joining new York" tickled me for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
JJ has some outrageous takes for such a savant! 😂
i cant listen to jj.
he seems like what in germany we call "laberkopf"
LeBron really appointed his Chihuahua as a coach
What an interesting POV I had never thought of. That's why I love your vids Swish!

Lecoachkiller still chasing Jor🐐 in big 2024.
LeGM is an all time player. All he’s doing is separating himself from #3, whoever that is. Whether it’s Kobe , Kareem, etc.
Unless he wins rings, he will never catch Michael Jeffrey Jordan
Bronny should have been a 4 year college player at some mid major so he could be the guy and get a lot of reps. It’s unfair to Bronny that all these overly high expectations are being put on him by Bron and the media. I don’t feel bad for him financially because his dads a billionaire but I do think this was extremely selfish of Bron and ruined his own sons best chance at having an actual development and a productive career
His son also agreed to move away from college.
How is he ruining Bronnys development? He's actually improving his development, coz now Bronny plays G league against decent players and also gets some NBA minutes in garbage time, and also hangs around the team in practices and sees the size difference of the NBA. Anybody that can be "the guy" in college would want to sniff a part of an NBA roster, and Bronny gets that golden opportunity. You don't know what you are talking about
Its his killer instinct 😂
JJ talking about how he wants to run more three point plays for LeBron, like you have the greatest rim finisher the game has ever seen and you want him shooting threes, I dont have a good feeling for that lol
Imagine being the number 1 team in the conference and still being fired .
I remember an old video you did on this. Having LeBron on the team is both a blessing and a curse. You might be guaranteed a championship but it will be hell and then some to get there.
You a GOAT Swish but JJ is actually taller than Bronny, thumbnail is inaccurate.
Deep voice Stephan A is unsettling 😮
knowing Gary Payton II is 31 is crazy
NGL laker fans make this so enjoyable
Hard to believe he’s really been with the lakers for 7 years wow
your takes are fantastic. breath of fresh air
Setting your son up for failure- great job Lebron
As a Lakers fan, I agree with you that the narratives and expectations can be very toxic. I consider myself a reasonable Laker fan, so I know the Lakers are not going to be competing for a championship this season with these new additions, it's literally impossible. With this being JJ Redick's first year as a head coach, I don't expect him to magically lead the Lakers to a top 5 seed and to a championship nor do I expect Bronny to win ROTY. I understand that these things take time and that the Lakers probably won't be good for another few years. But I am glad Darvin Ham moved on because there were some plays where he just showed inaction when he needed to make a good call.
The downhill started when they didn’t keep CARUSO!
My heart goes out to Bronny, he has the kind of scrutiny you see on a #1 pick. It's unfair to him, but completely justifiable based on how the people around him handled it. All due respect, it's bad parenting to put your ego before your son's developmental needs. I hope Bronny will get the chance to thrive in the G League where players get developmental support in a high-accountability but low-media-scrutiny setting.
Tiger Woods did not run through all the best caddies in the world. That's just flat out wrong.
A lot of people just have no clue what coaching is really all about. I don't care what level , coaching is the hardest job in the world. Even people with experience have difficulties in coaching and JJ Reddick is going to find out the hard way just how hard coaching really is. Particularly when you have to deal with the politics of coaching LeBron James and dealing with the fact that he wants his kid to be playing with him.
I don’t know about the HARDEST job in the WORLD, but it is the hardest job in sports
I'm really glad no FA signed with the Lakers as it's all explained in the video. No one wants to tank in value playing for the Lakers/Lebron and have their job a lot harder with everyone wanting Bronny and LeGM to be on the court together and hearing about it all the time, successful or not. I'd give JJ two years before being fired when they'd probably do another roster change to make the Lakers more competitive since their business move to draft Bronny may sadly not work out but they'd keep him anyway.
They couldn't have signed anyone lol, a FA would have had to wait for them to clear a roster spot.
@@BlueGrovyle Yeah I expected another real change this summer but they lost Prince and I think Dinwiddie and then got their two rookies as they kept the same roster. I do expect them to make a major change next Feb though
I guarantee u if lebron had Phil Jackson for a coach and that Bulls organization that did its job something like that in Cleveland y’all wouldn’t criticize him like this cause let’s not forget he came into league fresh out high school with HOF to Goat expectations or bust.
Jordan was the best player of the 80s but was on a bad team he watched Bird, Magic and Isaiah get 6/7 championships between them before he even made to his first finals from 1984-1990. Jordan overcame his adversities and narratives that were thrown against him.
@@TheRealDarth_Vader u can say the same thing about lebron he literally made the finals in year 4 and got swept by the spurs. He’s faced the big 4 Celtics with no help. He ain’t have no help until he left for Miami. Not saying Jordan didn’t go thorough adversity I’m saying give bron Phil Jackson as a coach and good teammates off the back and he would have already had a couple championships cause literally we’ve seen throughout his career him going far asf as the finals with less. Jordan had less and never made the finals until Scottie the most consistent 2 and Phil Jackson that’s my point.
@@TheRealDarth_Vaderthe difference is Bulls won their championship in Jordan's year 7. In LeBron's year 7 all they did was add old Shaq
Just another hire from LeCircus . also, why the F should any coach go under such scrutiny because of him? they should be allowed to do their job... where did the respect toward the coach go?
when leflop wanted spoelstra gone, pat riley rightfully stood up and said shut up spo is the coach - and seeing lebron bumping him on the shoulder on the way to the bench... nah, just nah, you don't treat your coach like that.
Lebron's cheap rings! Let's go
I don't know whats hard about that job. J.J. only has to do what LeBron wants him to do. Easy job description: "Be LeBrons puppet".
But to be honest i really wonder if J.J. knows what he got himself into
I don’t hate lebron but I do hate legm
Bro start putting the beats u put in the background in the description I done heard 2 beats in this vid that I recognize but can’t think of the songs and its killin me😂
I want nothing but success for Bronny, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this situation spirals to be the biggest blight on Bron's career.
Darvin definitely said it was just basketball and coached like he was coaching the pistons with a lakers squad just said go out and play in gonna be a fan.
Darvin Ham pt 2
Bron never had a Jackson, Pop, Nelson, Kerr. Ty, Spol and Brown are great but not like the others
Edit: Ham’s 2024 season after going to WCF in 2023 was worthy of getting sacked. Disappointing with no improvement and poor coaching
Spo solidified himself as a great. Spo coached his team to the finals twice after Bron left
Steve Kerr 😂😂😂😂😂
@@riqosteel yes Steve Kerr. He was the one who transformed the Warriors offense from spamming pick and roll to free movement and spacing, while also starting Draymond Green in the role of a big. Their spacing, speed and IQ changed the game and forced most non-shooters out of the league.
LeGM 😂🤣😂
Mike Brown coached a full season before he got fired 5 games the next season in
Surprised you not commenting on the whole skip situation
13:11 awesome instrumental. Keep using it for your videos
I wish you touched on the 2nd half of Bronny in the summer league. Talking about the first 3 games wasn’t fair. Nobody is talking about Alexandre Sarr, who is way more athletic 😐
Isnt it the media wanting a new head coach
If lebron pulls this off
Legacy bout to go crazy
Just like how he "pulled it off" with westbrook? 😂 "Keep the samen energy" 😂. The one who did not keep the same energy was the guy who deleted his own tweet
@@xaevius5319just like he pulled it off whit AD, or like he did whit Kevin Love.
@@xaevius5319with Bronny at least you don’t have Westbrook’s fragile ego to worry about.
As a so called black man we are under constant pressure. Jr is going to be fine.
Spot on vid
I understand Darvin Ham got dealt a tough deal but we have to bring up the fact that he was actually a horrible coach. The lineups he used, the favoritism he showed to players that shouldn’t have been on the floor. Man really should’ve been gone and I don’t understand why they hired him.
It truly is
Like Jeff Saturday from the Colts but at least he played for them
I see why Bron has haters now I think. I don’t hate the guy but I understand others’ sentiments
Lebron is setting bronny up for failure it’s sad
What is "failure"? If what people have been saying is true, that Bronny isn't good enough even to be drafted with a second-round pick number that has produced maybe one notable player ever, is it more of a "failure" to be out of the league in a few years (absolute worst-case scenario now) or to have had the same name with a slim-to-none chance of making the league after 3-4 years in college? He at least gets to focus solely on basketball now and improve with the help of professional, NBA-level development trainers.
i think bronny can be a 6th man of the year typa player. still incredible. he's a project typa player now franchise turning player. And i think the lakers are the best place for him because they wont chase for a chip because their roster sucks, and his dad and his unc AD with the team. defensively his really great, elite even. offense is something u can work. remember fultz yall. he was absolutly trash first couple of season but now in orlando he was pretty great. not like superstar but great. As long bronny is not lazy he can be anything.
Lakers coaching job hasn't been stable since 2011. LeBron also clearly wanted them to get Ty Lue, a coach that he respects and speaks well of, and they fumbled. Is the job any easier because of LeBron? Of course not. But there are coach firings around the league every season.
Tyus Jones just got signed to the suns and this what the suns needed a point guard so dbook can play off the ball.
U can always tell when people are just talking and didn’t watch the lakers. For some reason y’all are so sure the ham was wrongfully fired but can’t give one reason why he should’ve stayed or why he was a good coach
Ham should’ve been fired. But yall shouldn’t have had Ham in the first place. Yall should’ve never gotten rid of Vogel and never messed up the team that won that championship is his point. But for some reason LeBron’s teams are always making more and more changes to “get better” even when they’re doing good. That’s a bad habit.
@@derrickwhite6795 So it’s bad for teams to still try and get better when they’re already good? Y’all added Jrue holiday and porzingis to a team that made the finals. The difference is that your gm actually knows what he’s doing. Also this is exactly what I’m talking about with non lakers fans talking about our team it’s always obvious y’all don’t know what happened and are speaking off media narratives. The fact that you’re blaming lebron tells me enough because half of the mistakes that pelinka made that got us here (caruso for example) had absolutely nothing to do with lebron and even were the exact opposite of what he wanted. People taking the blame off of pelinka is exactly what that mf wants and u all eat it up
@@jourdanzero9312 first off you can’t even compare the move to get Jrue or Porzingis to getting Russ. The Lakers came off a championship and a season where their players got hurt due to them having to play in the bubble and decided to blow it up and get players that don’t fit. The Celtics came off back to back conference finals loses before they made a switch that made sense because they got players that fit. Also the Lakers decided to go for Russ when LeBron signed off on it. But even if you do want to say LeBron isn’t the main guy, then LeBron shouldn’t get no credit for bringing AD to LA. But I bet yall Lebron fans gone say till ya face turn blue that LeBron made the move to get AD. Stop saying LeBron is the reason for some moves then acting like he’s not for others. He has a whole track record of going over the GM. So if you want to ignore that record then you can, but I’m not delusional like you. It ain’t just narratives there’s stories from multiple people in the league from GMs to Owners to Coaches bruh.
@@derrickwhite6795 first off im not comparing the two actual teams and their situations. i am comparing the fact that the celtics after being up 2-1 in the finals with that team still went out and were looking for more to make their team better. Brad stevens literally said right after yall won this year that hes already looking to improve the roster. thats what good gms do. also the celtics arent the only example there are plenty more for u to look up. they didnt "decide to blow it up" do you think that they went after russ because they thought it would make the team worse? no they obviously did it to try and make the team better and were wrong about it. going out and trying to improve your roster no matter how good you are is a good thing and every gm in the league does it so we can drop that point. secondly im not a lebron fan, im a laker fan. i support my team and players, but im very objective about lebron. when lebron does something bad i call it out and when he does something good i give praise. i dont give a shit about any of that lebron's legacy narrative shit on either side so just end that whole thing there. i dont care about lebron getting credit for ad or whatever bullshit ur saying. can u find me a team that doesn't get a signoff and consult their best players before making a trade? u cant because its literally happened on every team everywhere around the league for years but its only a problem when lebron does it. im asking you since you know that lebron is the evil mastermind, why is russ the only player that he was able to get? why is ty lue not our coach right now?, why is brook lopez not on the team despite being willing to take a paycut to stay?, why did max christie get a 2 year deal?, why is caruso not here?, why did we let mo bamba and malik beasley walk for nothing instead of using them for trades?, why does cam fucking reddish have a player option locking up our roster spots? is it lebron? obviously not. its the guy who has the final say and whose JOB it is to build the team. thats why i say its so obvious u all have no idea what ur talking about because u all just obsess over the russ trade like they do on tv when there are WAY more issues that led to where we are now that were caused BY PELINKA. if its not your team then just stfu and stop spreading narratives what youre doing is exactly what pelinka wants
To be a good coach you must me a leader of men. If they don't respect you it's impossible
It won't be the Lakers without drama
Bronny James is gonna be a monster in the nba one day.
So nobody is going to talk about how lbj wanted T Lou? Lmao NO because y’all hate him and refuse to say anything positive about him
It’s a shame because once he’s gone y’all won’t have anyone else to hate on but his son and Jj 😂
Forget the fact that every good coach he’s had since 2010 he’s won with. David Blatt never coached again. Luke Walton got with the Kings, fired and never coached again. Darvin Ham immediately knew he wasn’t getting any offers and went back to an assistant. The other coaches whatever, you can lose your memory to time. But defending DARVIN HAM???? Watch one Lakers game lmao I’m begging you. The night had Anthony Davis say he didn’t know what they were doing out there and he came back at him saying that wasn’t true. He’s the worst coach I’ve ever seen in my life.
If he's always the best coach on the court.. ofc they cant coach him
I literally said coaching any Lebron James lead team is by far the hardest job in the NBA years ago and everybody called me dumb … I said it again last season regarding Darvin Ham and everybody called me dumb again … now all of a sudden every nba analysis and TH-camr is saying it and now it’s being viewed as eye opening news lol smh
You want a medal bro?
who called you dumb, it was consensus for ages
@@eyebelieve3 yeah the platinum one fn
I don’t feel sorry for any of these coaches. Why? Because they keep taking the job
LeBron is a coach killer
Yall say all this LeGM stuff but look at the careers of other superstars who didnt consistently put pressure on their teams to put pieces around them to win. Nikola Jokic watched the nuggets be passive the past two seasons and had to demand they sign Westbrook. Closed mouths dont get fed
It all comes back to LeBron James. He maybe the second best player ever whatever it may be, he always has a circus around him and winning seems to always take a backseat to LeBron’s ego and making sure he is happy.
Something I don’t get is why doesn’t Lebron try out being a player-coach like Bill Russell?
