@@davidlambert4823thing is those guys were projected to be picked that high, they looked like real players. Bronny isn’t even a top 60 player in this draft IN EVERYONES EYES!

Nah its all about getting lucky in the draft, Lakers drafted Ingram in 2nd and Jaylen Brown was pick 3rd (Pelicans wont even offer a contract extension and will lose Ingram for nothing) and Lakers picked Lonzo Ball with the 2nd pick while Boston took Jayson Tatum in 3rd. Lonzo Ball's career is over while Tatum is top10 in the league.
At least Luke was a marked improvement over Byron Scott's record (not hard to do lol and still sucked ass). JJ will have to make the conference finals once and playoffs twice for this hire to be anything other than a farce, scapegoat, and another Lebron puppet, for as bad as Darvin Ham was, they were still winning something.
JJ is getting a blessing getting to coach LeBron to start his career. 6/10 coaches made conference finals, 5/10 made NBA Finals. 12/21 seasons he’s made conference finals. This is good to start your career for JJ.
@@je5406 2/6 seasons in the West in his late 30s he’s been in WCF. Only Warriors & Nuggets have matched that. If Bron was in his 20s, he would’ve made it a couple more times. Doesn’t matter where he goes, he’s always winning.
Cool, how many coaches have been fired under lebron? 😂 THE VAST MAJORITY. Lebron has fired a coach mid season while they were like 35-12 on the year. Lebron has fired a coach the year after winning a chip, the year after making the finals, the year after making the WCF, it’s not a good job.
Hey! I just spent the last 3 hours in awe, with red eyes, how the IND fever have evolved into a good team and are doing something different right now. i don't really care about the w, but as a fan of sport, my god is it interesting to watch this story in real time
I remember JJ always wearing LeBron's shoes when he played at Duke. They have been friends a very long time. The connection has always been there and not surprised the Lakers made this move.
Pat Riley had been around the organization for years, and sat on the bench. The issue is coaching experience. It’s like….we just saw this with the Colts.
Shows how little McAfee knows about the NBA. Steve Nash is known as a basketball savant and he flopped as a first time coach in BKN with zero prior experience. Jason Kidd is regarded as a basketball genius and it took him multiple coaching stops before he found a consistent level of success. Joe Mazzula is the wrong comparison bc mazzula has been an assistant at multiple levels for over a decade before Ime Udoka fumbled the job. FWIW the commentary around redick by ESPN talking heads had been a lot more complementary than it was for Steve Nash. With Nash, people like Stephen A Harper on his lack of experience a lot more and also played the racism card. Nobody’s doing that for Redick now. And as far as accolades go, Redick’s NCAA history doesn’t mean dick when it comes to evaluating NBA cred. Redick was absolutely a leader on his teams, but 12k points is only 279th. Do I think JJ will be a good coach? I think so, because he’s a people connector and has the stamp of approval from LeBron. But in this instance Pat Mac’s analysis is dogshit
Shows how little you know about sports. Nash is a HOFer one of best PGs ever same with Kidd. JJ was just a role player HAS NEVER COACHED ONE MINUTE IN HIS LIFE and now he is in the most famous job at the highest level. You need to delete this horrific comment it is SO far off base.
Yes. Thursday’s show ended with the Jack Carr skit and book promo. But, because people ran with it being Uncle Howdy, it looks like Pat and WWE may have turned a “shoot into a work, brother,” and have now incorporated the storyline.
You don’t even watch then. Spo coached a bunch of g-leaguers to the finals with the most complex zone defense the league has ever seen. The Celtics just outcoached the mavs completely in the finals. I don’t understand how you could watch a nuggets game and call it LA fitness.
@@JustSomeGuy009but they didn’t have the best player. Yet their strategy to cover Luka just won them a chip. If you had a brain and watched the finals, it was obvious the Celtics gameplan was elite every game. They attacked Lukas defense even tho he held up at times because it wore him down, then they refused to send help on his drives so that he couldn’t find the open shooter.
When pats critical he takes a satirical approach and emphasizes the reasons that make the topic silly in a sarcastic way. But he is a former player and not a hater so he will tend to side with the player over league / media / owners. Which is what gives the show a refreshing tone compared to other pundits.
No one is doubting JJ's knowledge of X's and O's. But that is only a part of the job of coaching a winning team. He has to manage some giant egos in a room with less talent that their peers, plus he has to deal with the media spotlight that comes with being the Lakers coach. He is expected to fill the shoes of Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Jerry West with significantly less talent on this team relative to teams of the past.
JJ Redick is the poor man's Steve Nash. He has basketball knowledge, but zero coaching experience. The only thing going for him is that he's friends with LeBron & LeBron makes the worst GM decisions.
The LA Lebron James's, you too can get bounced in a play-in-game. The entire staff at espn is trying so hard to spin this positive because its JJ. What happened to Journalism? I keep hearing pat say that word
2 years at most. Most likely 1. I didnt think he was good at espn. Now hes an NBA coach lol. I love you pat. I really do. Go be the head coach of the colts. I'll check back in soon. Goodluck Pat
Shams called it...but he was wrong. He always called JJ as the absolute, mic-drop first choice. JJ is not only the second choice, he's the *obvious* second choice. Pat is at his worst when he's re-writing history for the NBA/NFL and their pundits like this.
Now not only is the Cap making it hard for the Lakers. Now the Coach is too. Being a Laker isn't enough anymore. I'm a life long Lakers fan and can't show my disappointment enough.
I mean what do they want from him are they expecting him to milk lebron rhey barley made the playoffs are they gonna acutally improve the team if ,he doesnt do good in 2 years is he gone?
I think JJ will be a great coach only problem is is most likely means LeBron is staying in LA, which therefore LeBron could ruin JJ's coaching reputation and I just believe he can be a damn good coach I don't want to see LeBron ruin it
What are you talking about. 6/10 of LeBrons coaches made conference finals, 5/10 made NBA Finals.. Brown, Spo, Lue, Blatt, Ham & Vogel all had the most success in their career coaching LeBron. Stop listening to the media’s BS. You absolutely want to coach LeBron. 60% chance to make conference finals as LeBrons HC. There’s no other superstar in NBA history like that.
@@jjballers81 including Jordan lol not saying LeBron is better but he's gotten his teams to the dance significantly more consistently than Jordan ever did
I think JJ will be a great coach. Will it be with the Lakers? I don’t know. He knows the X’s and O’s inside and out. He can analyze game film and break down strategy. Hell, he can come off the bench and hit a clutch 3. He’s been successful at everything he’s done (playing, commentating, podcasting, etc). I have no doubt he can do the same here.
It won’t be with the lakers, but I agree he’ll find success. Quite literally every nba player turned coach with 0 experience in between has failed at their first stop (besides bill Russell but that doesn’t count because he started as a player coach. Anytime stuff didn’t work he just subbed in a 5x MVP winner until he got it figure out 😂) Only 2 of them have gone one to have successful careers: Kidd and Rivers. They didn’t have success with their first teams and aren’t exactly held in high regard today lol so history is not on their side.
At this point I compare JJ Redrick to Paul Westphal, the Basketball Hall of Fame guard who played for the Boston Celtics' 1974 N.B.A. champions, became a four-time All-Star with the Phoenix Suns and coached them to the league playoff final in 1993,Redrick an NCAA superstar at Duke University, who was the consensus national college men's player of the year in 2006, Redick played in the NBA for 15 seasons for the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Pelicans and the Mavericks. Paul Westphal was probably the best HS guard CIF Aviation HS in Los Angeles. It's always, good hire to get the next Pat Riley to coach Lakers
Lifelong Magic fan, saw him up close I mean idk he was a good player mostly a 3 point role player. Lakers head coach? To me its weird. He will either be really good or he will be horrific. We will see.
I’m sorry was Phil Jackson a superstar when he played in the nba? Pat Riley? I don’t think athletic ability has anything to do with coaching considering the 2 greatest lakers coaches ever were career role players 😂 Dude is a scrawny white guy with bad hops by nba standards. If he wasn’t a 3pt role player, he wouldn’t be in the league.
The fact that Clutch Sports has come out and said Bronny won’t sign a 2-way deal upsets me. So not only do you have to waste a draft pick on someone who’d go undrafted normally, you have to sign him to a guaranteed deal to sit on the bench rather than developing him in the g-league.
Whenever PMS talks basketball it genuinely upsets me. They’re casuals but they try to talk about it without looking into it. If you don’t wanna watch basketball, don’t cover it! Because you guys cover it the exact way you complain about the coverage of the NFL. It sounds like they get their takes from talking heads. The issue in LA has never been the coach, only the roster. If Eric Spoelstra was the head coach of the lakers for the last 2 years, they’d have the same outcome. THEIR ROSTER IS BOTTOM 10 AND THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE TO BE CONTENDERS IN THE EYES OF THEIR FANS, PLAYERS, FRONT OFFICE, OWNERSHIP, AND MEDIA. And here’s this show feeding into that be idea by acting like this is a SURE THING! Out of the about 15 players turned coaches hired with no prior experience in the last 50 years of the league, here’s the list of everyone who had success with that team who hired them: (End of list)
The only difference is that youre actually good at talking into a microphone. JJ has never been. He only gets brought up when he inevitability says some really stupid take
You know what.. fair. I'm not the biggest basketball guy. It just seems to me that hiring someone who's never even coached highschool could be problematic. I hope he does very well. It just s3emed odd to me. I know JJ knows everything there is to know about the game and all that.
What a typical McAfee response. His whole stance is anyone that ever played pro should be given any tangential position they want without even going through the process of proving capabilities. Joe Mazzulla has actually worked in coaching positions and gone through the process. Redick has never held a single coaching position, ever. It's not the same as being a player or commentator. I liked Redick as a good piece on the Sixers. But he has no idea what he's about to get himself into. This will not go well.
Yeah that’s what’s confusing to me. Joe got the job in Boston because the front office was in love with what they saw him do as a COACH, not a podcaster. It’s all fun and games until you draw up a play and lebron says no like he’s famous for doing. It’s all fun and games until you’re given a bottom 10 roster and expected to have home court advantage in the playoffs. It’s all fun and games until you’re forced to make tough in game adjustments on one of the biggest stages in sports with everyone waiting to critique it when it fails.
The response feels similar to when the colts gave Saturday the job. Everyone hated how time as a coach was skipped. I’m all for it. Take a risk if you believe in the guy.
How did that one work out? If I were you I’d be looking at the Saturday hire as evidence why you SHOULDNT take stupid risks for clout. Especially when you’re expected to make winning moves, there’s great candidates with experience out there and they instead hired someone where there hasn’t been a single player turned head coach in nba history with no experience who had success with that team.
No the critique of the move is the Lakers are pretending they had a coaching issue when they had a roster construction issue. The lakers will not be good next year and JJ will Be blamed for it. And it’s not even his fault. That’s why people don’t like this move.
Grow some balls..U guys are afraid to speak anything against anyone.Lebron as GM isn't working.. Outside the Bubble he's been outside the 1st round one time and missed the playoffs 3 times..Stop with the Lefraud duck riing
I think a new coach should have paid his dues in being an assistant coach or have some other job with an organization. Get your feet wet on the front office side before getting a HC gig. My feeling is Lakers struggle and LeBron gets him fired.
LeBron is the problem! When he wins it's all/ only because of him and when they lose it's clearly the coaching fault (HC) And has nothing to do with him that's why so many HC have been fired after a losing season Why anyone would want to run a team with LeBron on it just blows my mind! If the media didn't lick LeBron's boots and hold him accountable for throwing the HC under the bus or even get after him for being lazy on defense would they still think he's a GOAT? NOT ONLY NO BUT HELL NO!
The reason the NBA is at an all time low is because 1. The refs 2. The media tries so hard to manufacture the next Michael Jordan! We shouldn't need the media to tell the viewers who's great! They act like we're danm fools and can't pick a good ball player without them and the nonstop hype

JJ is going to be a great coach. I don't get the hate
My man SHAMS. The most trusting name and face in the NBA insider world. Shams....
Jeff Saturday all over again
At this point I compare JJ Redrick to Paul Westphal, the Basketball Hall of Fame guard who played for the Boston Celtics' 1974 N.B.A. champions, became a four-time All-Star with the Phoenix Suns and coached them to the league playoff final in 1993,Redrick an NCAA superstar at Duke University, who was the consensus national college men's player of the year in 2006, Redick played in the NBA for 15 seasons for the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Pelicans and the Mavericks. Paul Westphal was probably the best HS guard CIF Aviation HS in Los Angeles. It's always, good hire to get the next Pat Riley to coach Lakers
So lakers are drafting brony great
Lifelong Magic fan, saw him up close I mean idk he was a good player mostly a 3 point role player. Lakers head coach? To me its weird. He will either be really good or he will be horrific. We will see.
I’m sorry was Phil Jackson a superstar when he played in the nba? Pat Riley? I don’t think athletic ability has anything to do with coaching considering the 2 greatest lakers coaches ever were career role players 😂
Dude is a scrawny white guy with bad hops by nba standards. If he wasn’t a 3pt role player, he wouldn’t be in the league.
Its a lose lose situation for JJ. If he puts Bronny in the game, the team will be weak. If he doesn’t play Bronny, he’ll be fired
The fact that Clutch Sports has come out and said Bronny won’t sign a 2-way deal upsets me. So not only do you have to waste a draft pick on someone who’d go undrafted normally, you have to sign him to a guaranteed deal to sit on the bench rather than developing him in the g-league.
Where is the Wyatt Sick6 attack ??
How long does he last before LeBron gets him fired
Who cares about his age, look at the Celtics coach
Celtics coach actually had years of coaching experience tho lmao
"Ball Lover"
This is due to LBJ. No more. No Less.
Whenever PMS talks basketball it genuinely upsets me. They’re casuals but they try to talk about it without looking into it. If you don’t wanna watch basketball, don’t cover it! Because you guys cover it the exact way you complain about the coverage of the NFL.
It sounds like they get their takes from talking heads.
The issue in LA has never been the coach, only the roster. If Eric Spoelstra was the head coach of the lakers for the last 2 years, they’d have the same outcome. THEIR ROSTER IS BOTTOM 10 AND THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE TO BE CONTENDERS IN THE EYES OF THEIR FANS, PLAYERS, FRONT OFFICE, OWNERSHIP, AND MEDIA.
And here’s this show feeding into that be idea by acting like this is a SURE THING!
Out of the about 15 players turned coaches hired with no prior experience in the last 50 years of the league, here’s the list of everyone who had success with that team who hired them:
(End of list)
So I wonder who Shams source is...could be anyJJRedickbody
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I am sure this will lead to something. What I don't know.
JJ has a great basketball mind. I hope he surprises people and I think he can. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Like what kind of surprise, like when you walk in the office hanging all out to shock the gals
Lol Shams always misinforms though
The only difference is that youre actually good at talking into a microphone. JJ has never been. He only gets brought up when he inevitability says some really stupid take
wtf are you yapping about?? Name one stupid take 😂
Nah. JJ isn’t for everyone, but he’s good.
You know what.. fair. I'm not the biggest basketball guy. It just seems to me that hiring someone who's never even coached highschool could be problematic. I hope he does very well. It just s3emed odd to me. I know JJ knows everything there is to know about the game and all that.
What a typical McAfee response. His whole stance is anyone that ever played pro should be given any tangential position they want without even going through the process of proving capabilities. Joe Mazzulla has actually worked in coaching positions and gone through the process. Redick has never held a single coaching position, ever. It's not the same as being a player or commentator. I liked Redick as a good piece on the Sixers. But he has no idea what he's about to get himself into. This will not go well.
You suck
Yeah that’s what’s confusing to me. Joe got the job in Boston because the front office was in love with what they saw him do as a COACH, not a podcaster.
It’s all fun and games until you draw up a play and lebron says no like he’s famous for doing.
It’s all fun and games until you’re given a bottom 10 roster and expected to have home court advantage in the playoffs.
It’s all fun and games until you’re forced to make tough in game adjustments on one of the biggest stages in sports with everyone waiting to critique it when it fails.
These dudes are talking pure bs... Everyone thats a basketball fan know where this is going and how he got the job. No one is falling for this
Maybe it’s just duke, but JJ is just unlikeable, a duke white
The response feels similar to when the colts gave Saturday the job. Everyone hated how time as a coach was skipped. I’m all for it. Take a risk if you believe in the guy.
How did that one work out? If I were you I’d be looking at the Saturday hire as evidence why you SHOULDNT take stupid risks for clout. Especially when you’re expected to make winning moves, there’s great candidates with experience out there and they instead hired someone where there hasn’t been a single player turned head coach in nba history with no experience who had success with that team.
@@eliyarrows2456 he coached a team he had no hand in acquiring anyone with a backup qb. This is drastically different for JJ.
Sucks for JJ that his coaching career is going to get destroyed my lebron
These analysts critiquing this move are sooooo clearly jealous
No the critique of the move is the Lakers are pretending they had a coaching issue when they had a roster construction issue. The lakers will not be good next year and JJ will
Be blamed for it. And it’s not even his fault. That’s why people don’t like this move.
This is why I hate Lebron
JJ Rhetoric
3's again yay
Grow some balls..U guys are afraid to speak anything against anyone.Lebron as GM isn't working.. Outside the Bubble he's been outside the 1st round one time and missed the playoffs 3 times..Stop with the Lefraud duck riing
If you make the playoffs over 90% of seasons you played, YOU are the trend. Congrats to JJ, hoping the best for him.
Worst nba insider of them all.
Lebron is really becoming Arron Rodgers
Bad take
So funny if he was black, no one would be saying anything.
I think a new coach should have paid his dues in being an assistant coach or have some other job with an organization. Get your feet wet on the front office side before getting a HC gig. My feeling is Lakers struggle and LeBron gets him fired.
LeBron is the problem! When he wins it's all/ only because of him and when they lose it's clearly the coaching fault (HC)
And has nothing to do with him that's why so many HC have been fired after a losing season
Why anyone would want to run a team with LeBron on it just blows my mind!
If the media didn't lick LeBron's boots and hold him accountable for throwing the HC under the bus or even get after him for being lazy on defense would they still think he's a GOAT? NOT ONLY NO BUT HELL NO!
The reason the NBA is at an all time low is because
1. The refs
2. The media tries so hard to manufacture the next Michael Jordan!
We shouldn't need the media to tell the viewers who's great! They act like we're danm fools and can't pick a good ball player without them and the nonstop hype
