Amidst this, a video of LeBron James staring down at the head coach has gone viral. Fans have been massively reacting and didn’t give a clean sheet to King James. The video in question is from a recent game between the LA Lakers and the Houston Rockets. Everyone was hooked on the game till the very end, and the Lakers ended up getting defeated by a 135-119 score.
Furthermore, the now-viral video has shown a glimpse of the alleged beef between James and Ham. Fans have targeted the Lakers star and discussed his reaction toward coaches since he left Miami. One took to their ‘X’ account to say, “Tbh he does with this every coach since he’s left Miami.” Along somewhat similar lines, another fan said, “Lebron just thinks he knows more basketball than everybody,” while talking about all that the coaches do.
Additionally, fans spoke about how Ham will likely get fired now. One of the fans took a screenshot from the video at the right moment when LeBron was staring and said, “Darvin Ham is definitely getting fired.” On the other hand, another added a touch of humor as they said, “He’s definitely getting fired … but what coach should they hire tho?” Fans undeniably had a field day trolling James as well as Ham over this video.
Darvin Ham once called LeBron James the best quarterback in the NBA
LeBron James debuted in the league in 2003 after being picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers. James is currently the oldest active player, yet he plays with the same energy he showed during his debut game. From his debut to now, he has won countless awards and recognitions. Some of these include reaching the top of the NBA’s All-Time scoring list, winning four championships, and so on.
His achievements have drawn compliments from across the sports world. Amidst this, Darvin Ham’s bold statement about James shines bright. Back in 2023, the head coach said, “No disrespect to anyone but he’s the best quarterback in the league.” This comment was after the Los Angeles Lakers’ 106-103 win over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA in-season tournament quarterfinals.
Fans strongly believe that the alleged beef between James and Ham can be resolved easily shortly. James has also highlighted that last season’s lineup which included him, Jarred Vanderbilt, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell worked well together. Even though the LA Laker’s performance hasn’t been as remarkable as they are known for, they truly hold an undeniable legacy.
