🧢 you know for damn certain Stephen A felt threatened by the mind the game pod bc he knew he lack of basketball knowledge would get exposed. SAS always had an inferiority complex and that was shown when the first episode of MTG pod was dropped. Instant criticism

[moosetalkshoops]

Stephen A u know u was hating or else u wouldn’t feel the need to address it 😂😂😂😂😂

JJ has the best ‘raw talent’ for a coach I can ever imagine. Great communicator, strong personality, open minded, well spoken, great basketball mind, workaholic, fearless competitor. The only thing he lacks is experience. I have no doubt he will eventually morph into a brilliant coach. But first year will be a big question mark no doubt. The idea that this hire is to please lebron in the short term is an easy take that cannot be further from the truth.

So LeBron the coach and JJ the assistant

[CJM]

Let's just ignore Monty was a horrible coach. He had less wins than the previous year with more talent. He led a 28 game losing streak, that's on the coach. He benched our young talent for a guy thats not even in the NBA anymore. He was trash.

[twiss]

I hope JJ does well. It will likely end in drama, but I hope it’s in a way where he holds his own and is a good coach. We need more of them. In any case he is great at what he does now. So if he goes back to broadcasting, we will either way

[hoodiepen]

As the great Jaylen Brown once said to Stephen A Smith, “State your source”

[wmcuccia]

JJ will make a great assistant coach to head coach LeBron James. "Yes sir, no sir"

[NOTATEMORY.]

Why Tf is 70 million for 4 years looked at as an under offer. Insane. These nba and sports employees are pampered to the core. Stephen a is crying about his 18 million dollar a year offer by espn. How could they possibly ever survive on those numbers. Poor them.

Darvin ham lost a playoff series to the defending champions. And you expect a guy with no coaching experience to do better 😂

[sapien]

Plus JJ Reddick has been coached by great coaches and there's no denying that

[markdelacruz]

Optimistic with this decision. Best of luck to JJ .

[jamesstinedurf]

i don't see JJ finishing that 4 years. he'll probably get scapegoated in a couple years like Ham

[leechrec]

Wait till plumber Reddick and LeBalco begin to clash. It will be glorious.

[YvngGoat_]

Everyone saying he has no coaching experience. Steve Kerr had no coaching experience prior to Golden State and look how he turned out

[bootitup]

Yeah, we said this about Steve Nash too. Look what happened there.

[lastoneleft]

Jj would lock his car door on lebron if wasnt famous. Guaranteed

[spurs_]

He'll be doing podcasts again by January.

[pedrouson]

I think SA should sign as LA Clippers coach

[KevinHernandez-qzsb]

How the Lakers have fallen. They went from Phil Jackson and Kobe to hiring Bron's podcast buddy and his raggedy son!
