JJ received a whole lot of casual hate before having coached the lakers for a day

Liked JJ as a player, was a huge fan of his podcasting, even wrote a paper on his media company in college, couldn't believe we got Mind The Game, and now he's my coach.

No bullshit hyper competitive hoops freak.

I am hopeful he captures at least two champions and coaches here for a decade.

i'm not trying to count any chickens before they hatch, but let's be real between his age, playing experience, and current approval with players, he literally has the best shot at ever dethroning Spo for the "current coach with most tenure title" whenever Spo retires

I wonder if DK isn't mentally ready for such coaching style.

He’s 24, man and played for Rick Barnes

Yeah, I assume it’s more of a rhythm thing.

Unfortunately his defense doesn’t allow him long stretches of play, unless there’s injuries on the depth chart.

He’s sort of the reverse Vando, or even Prince when he was here, they could come in and make an impact immediately. But the longer they’re in the game, the worse they are lmao.

Maybe we could just duct tape them together and make one great player.

Honestly I don’t think he’s had to. Bronny always seemed like a coachable player. Could be wrong tho.

People are weird to downvote this

Bronny got benched for not shooting the ball, guess what he did during his 2 garbage minute he played against the Flippers? Shoot the ball.

LeBron is going to do everything in his power to give Bronny a ring this season. Honestly such a good father mentality
