He is a Super Legend and brings instant Super Cash to your team with his fame. If Lakers draft Bronny it will be WILD for Lakers even if Bronny goes to G League it will be huge because he will get called up while LeBron the Goat is there.
U know what’s an even better analogy? Voting for someone to be President who literally has no political, legal, or military experience whatsoever. Oh wait, that actually happened in 2016. 🤦🏾♂️ Funny how u need experience to coach a basketball team but don’t need experience to run the country. 😂
@@sportsguy25let me guess… you’re a Lebron James jock strap sniffer. Hey, my female coworker wants to know where did you buy those LBJ Nike Thongs you be wearing?
He was the first option. Lebron and jj controlled the whole narrative and the hurley interview was a smoke screen. It was always gonna be JJ. Let's not be naive keyshawyn
Exactly. And everyone thinking "JJ wasn't the first pick" actually helps him and the Lakers out, because it lowers the stakes and expectations some. They want a playoff birth to be a big win in JJ's first year. If Hurley or another high profile coach got the Lakers bounced in round 1 then that would have been a disappointment. Hire JJ and making the playoffs, not the play-in, will be seen as a "great start." That's what this is all set up to do.
I think The Clippers hiring Van Gundy as a lead assistant is an under the radar hire. The man really knows defense and defensive strategy. Whether he has updated his concepts to match what's happening in today's game is yet to be seen, but i really like that hire for Coach Lue. I never thought of Coach Lue as an x's and o's guy with specific offensive and defensive concepts as his bread and butter. He's a motivator and communicator. Now he has a tactician as his lead assistant. Very good move by The Clippers front office in my view!
Bruh why are we acting like rob pelinka is some master GM? He made a couple good moves and then when they won the chip in 2020, he got greedy, wouldn't pay anyone and blew up the core which set them way back
How does any serious franchise hire a man with no head coaching experience and talks Xs and Os on a podcast with the teams LeFraud?😂😂😂 its almost comical what the Lakers are today.
It’s kind of weird that this happened less than a week after Jerry West died considering the very public comments between the two a couple of years ago.
Facts...but he in Boston...you already know....my cousin drove to BEANTOWN this 🌅🌄 and saw him there, even Derrick Williams and tacko fall was out there today
Every Skip Bayless segment ever: My brother Lil Wayne. LeBron runs from the late game free throw line. Aaron Rodgers is nothing more than a blame deflecting diva. I was on record that I would have picked Steph Curry number 1 in that draft. KD is the thinnest skin superstar I have ever closely observed. I originated the name "Westbrick". Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr.. I've never seen anything like it. in all my years covering the NBA/NFL. How about Deem Cowboys!!!. You know it and I know it
Rachel's analogy at @3:58 is spot on! 🔥🔥🔥This exactly what this hire is, should have been someone with experience or have JJ be an the assistant coach. Very disappointing 😞
0 seconds ago It don’t matter who’s coaching. This is about Lebron playing with Bronny. Damn near every game will be televised by the networks. Jeanie buss gone make tons of money with this decision
Skip is right about Pat Riley. He was tough and demanding. It was a different era of basketball. JJ doesn’t seem to be that, instead wanting be a ‘nice guy.’ Also how will he react to in-play adjustments and how will he handle substitutions from the bench in a game? Let’s hope he surrounds himself with experienced good assistants. Very interesting times ahead.
Pat Riley was an assistant coach with the l..laker1979/ 1980 nba basketball 🏀 season, however pat Riley was very special coach& young 🎩 🪄 magic johnson& prime time Kareem Abdul jabber , & Jerry west as general manager
It makes no difference who the coach going to be based on the current roster. It is a business. Lakers need LbJ to be relaxant; LJb needs Lakers to draft his son; JJ needs LJB to make his the coach; LBJ needs JJ to develop his son…
Lakers offered Ty Lue 3 years and wanted to pick his staff. They end up not hitting on their No. 1 target again and offering him 4 years with zero coaching experience.
Did everyone in the comments forget that JJ played for 15 years? He is also extremely intelligent with a high basketball IQ. That doesn't mean he will make a great coach but comparing his resume to just a sports commentator is crazy! I hope he does well just to prove the haters wrong... at the same time I hate the Lakers so I kinda hope he also fails LOL
Skip and Key we just heard through Carmelo Anthony that the great Kobe Bryant never liked J J Redick since Team USA back in the day. And if he was here, he will tell LeBron not to mess with him. If Kobe don't like you it's in his mind forever, just like how Micheal didn't like Isaiah Thomas and kept him off the Dream team.
@@Kobiyashi77 He's either planning on getting fired (then its 1 year/32 million) or figured it was the only way he was ever going to be an NBA head coach.
- He was not a star. - He was not a team leader. - He was a role player, who started occasionally and had a long career playing under different coaches (alongside various superstars). Those things could also be said of Pat Riley, Phil Jackson and Steve Kerr. Sounds like a good coach origin story to me.
Imagine if the 2024-25 Los Angeles Lakers in next year's playoffs go all the way to NBA Finals and winning the championship tying rival Boston Celtics at 18 it could happen!
@@vincente4570 ....the main thing that hurt The Lakers these last 7 seasons is injury. They are constantly dealing with injury and i know every nba team deals with this but when you have 2 max salary players, it gets harder to play elite basketball when your depth is compromised. I'm not arguing Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, and Cam Reddish were irreplaceable reserves but they were more important for a team like The Lakers because their best player is 39 years of age. Those 3 players are defensive minded role players that can do a lot of the gritty dirty work and could take some minutes from lesser defenders like AR, Rui, and D Lo..... For a year and a half they had 3 max players and during that year and half, AD and Bron missed a combined 90+ games out of like a possible 140+ games. So their 3 best players only played like 47-50 games together over that span. It will be the same this season. With Bron and AD combining for nearly $100 mil between them, The Lakers just won't have depth if they attempt to add a third star level player and if they choose depth, they can't afford injuries to Bron and AD. The west is brutal.
This is LeClown show putting a strangle on the Lakers. Just when you thought things are going to get better, this happens. The Lakers standard that we come to know is out the window. History repeats itself, "Letoxic Environment".

I know it’s Skip still so you’ll have the hot takes but it’s not the whole show. Maybe it’s the segment but I enjoyed it.
Mazzula has the gift of winning the hearts of his players. Lotta love. They wanted to play for him. Young players are different today. They need to like you, trust you, work hard for you and each other. JJ will need those gifts with the younger players. I think. Hey, give him a shot.
At 12:21 Skip lied out his mouth saying Kerr was a starter for the bulls. The truth is Kerr never started a single game in 5 seasons with the bulls...just wanted to point that out.
It's more complicated than that some of the greatest coaches in NBA history Phil Jackson Pat Riley Jerry Sloan were all role players for some reason which I do not know but it kinda makes sense role players that were above average or around average as NBA players would make the best coaches they spend the most on the bench talking to the coach while also spending a decent amount of time playing their basketball iq is likely higher than people give them credit for.
