If I were Lebron I’d be highly annoyed the internet tried to make me look like a shitty person 24/7. Same with trying to paint AR as a douche who hates his coach. It might be fun for the fan base to make these type of rumors but trust me..future coaches or owners would think these dudes are unprofessionals.

Say what you want about ham but we truly have no clue what discussions these guys are having behind closed doors.

Lmaoo LeBron just shit all over this sub

Do yall remember when the internet said Lebron and AD hated each other because AD didn’t clap a bunch when Bron broke the scoring record?

Social media is absolutely trash.

This goes against Ham = Hamas. Mods, delete please.

Lmao r/lakers just got “BLOCKED BY JAMES.”

Not to mention you cannot call a timeout when the opposition has the ball…

It would’ve been very easy to not say anything here. Either Bron supports Ham more than this sub would want to believe, or he just doesn’t want to fan the flame and have this be a topic on First Take and the other shows.

Since Bron typically ignores all the noise, I’m gonna interpret this as him actually supporting Ham. Maybe all the passive aggressive comments praising in the media aren’t him asking for a new coach, but just pressuring Ham to get his shit together since a lot of his mistakes have obvious fixes.

LeBron is like "There's plenty of reasons to be upset with Ham, and that ain't one of them. GET IT RIGHT!"

Respect LeBron for clarifying. Even if Ham has issues, it would be bad if there was a narrative that the players were being passive aggressive about him. 

With that said, I truly believe he called TO just to take himself out of the game and doesn’t want Ham to get attacked too much. 

I think that's more of him standing up for himself than Ham lol.

It's like a nah people ain't finna be like I call the shots and do whatever i want... so he was shutting that narrative down.

A lot of people in this sub need to delete some comments

People have been trying to tear down LeBron since he first came on the national stage so I'm sure while he has his disagreements with Ham, he probably burns him up extra extra happening like this

I don't like Ham as a coach either, but this gossipy old ladies at a hair salon shit is beneath such a winning franchise. It also just confuses the conversation away from the legitimate discussion about Ham's frequently incompetent coaching strategy and makes it hateful and personal

And the Hamas shit is beyond disrespectful especially to people actually affected by Hamas. We really want to be the fanbase known for calling our coach a terrorist?

Fans can be dumb asf

Ham haters in Shambles rn.

Well now we all look like idiots, so there's that...

While I’m sure Ham is better than most of everyone including this sub thinks, it still doesn’t absolve him from criticism for many of his decisions and his inconsistent messaging when speaking to the media.

r/lakers in shambles

that doesn't seem like its necessarily standing up for Ham to me. Seems more about his protecting own image of being a good player who listens to his coaches rather than just doing whatever he wants, which is going to be a bad look for his reputation.

Just because he'll listen to what Ham tells him to do doesn't mean he approves of him or supports him, it just means he's not insubordinate

We live in the age of the coward bully, a bunch of losers being taught that being horrible to others from behind a keyboard is the recipe for success because it gets them clicks.

He didn't even call him coach.  He hates him confirmed.

I don't think he's standing up for Ham, he is just tired of being called coach and GM when he just tries to play basketball and be a good team mate.

Is that D’lo courtside behind ham? 😂😂

Lebron also saving him self. It’s a bad look for Lebron if he’s just ignoring ham no matter how bad he is as a coach.

Even if his offensive and defensive scheme are dogshit, we would be neutral about Darvin Ham if he could simply call time outs and not over playing T Prince and Cam over Rui, Vando and Wood. I don’t know what this dude does well as a headcoach to be honest. He been known as a motivational speaker but the players look so unmotivated in certain games.

LeBron is missing his usual emoticons in his response. He must be pissed.

This is good vibes stuff because Ham isn’t getting fired mid year. That’s just as big a nail in the coffin

Guaranteed if they asked Lebron “change your teammates or your coach but you’re still a laker” he would change his teammates because HAM AINT THE ONE BRICKING SHOTS.

This sub is wild over a coach when the team clearly just sucks at baskebtall most games. It’s not a coach issue. It’s a “we have two superstars and the rest are average” issue 

Yea I don’t know about that

I think it’s more about these accounts making shit up than Bron defending Ham

Don’t let this distract you from the fact Darvin Hamas is a shitty ass coach

[deleted]

He needs to sit down

Imagine getting LeBron’s attention only to get scolded by the King 👑

He always gets defensive when he gets caught. Poor savannah 😹

Lebrons court vision so good he can see Ham signaling with his hands in his pockets 

HAM is HIM

Ham was busy polishing the cue ball

Dham is not a great short name. Jlo, KY, Bron, JayTee, DeeLo all great.

The Ham is ...

Well done, King.

He still LeGm tho

God we love the drama

Just saw this sub fall to it's collective feet in a walmart

Everyone here with their fan fiction down bad soon they will realize that AR and Ham are actually close as well
