LeBron's handling of his coach, David Blatt is unbecoming

I see ESPN still has not gotten over LeBron using Sports Illustrated to announce his Cleveland return instead of them.

There is no basketball coach worthy of coaching the greatest player in the history of the universe.

...just axe him.

RE: There is no basketball coach worthy of coaching the greatest player in the history of the universe.

Then I would suggest the greatest player in the history of the universe coach himself ( Bill Russel was a player/coach ). I’d like to see how far Cleveland goes with that.

Just ask Tiger.............

Player/Coach ...hummmm

Smallest playbook ever:

* Pass LeBron the Ball.

RE: * Pass LeBron the Ball.

That didn’t work for his last two teams.

[gdani]

That didn’t work for his last two teams.

Something worked. LeBron won two titles with the Heat.

LeBron actually is one of the best passers in the game, now compare with Kobe, who never met a shot he didn’t like.

Now you understand what made Phil Jackson so great, he had a unique ability to manage the egos of superstars and still keep the team together, it’s a skill few coaches have.

[SeekAndFind]

Phil Jackson might have hit the nadir of his basketball career with his present team — the New York Knicks ( ironically, the team he started with and the team that won him his first NBA title as a player ).

[NormsRevenge]

The Clippers and Lakers would probably be interested.

LeBron was not given the series MVP award. It went to Andre Iguodala, the ultimate team player who never questioned the plan and was there when Golden State needed him.

Just sayin'.....

Great post

[SmokingJoe]

With two other superstars making the big three. Never would. With Cleveland b4 he went to Miami. He might win with Cleveland this time with another two superstars, Irving and Love, though.

[discostu]

Game 6 of the finals. It’s been pretty widely accepted that Blatt does very little coaching. Except try to call timeouts he doesn’t have, and send in a last second play that has LeBron inbound not shoot which then got overruled by the players.

[SmokingJoe]

Never been much of a LeBron fan. Was rooting for Golden State all the way.
All this talk about how great he was in the finals, well any superstar would have put up similar numbers if the rest of the team were a bunch of low performing nobodies. No way LeBron puts up them numbers if Irving and Love were playing.

[Borges]

Not really. Golden State focused their defense on him and he still put up those numbers. It’s like Michael Jordan putting up 63 against the 1986 Celtics. He had a bad team around him and basically beat the entire Celtics team.
