He has the tactics but it’s very rare for a HOF player to succeed as a coach.

Larry Bird is the only one I know of



Boston made it a tradition and won NBA championships to boot.

No he already put together a group to get a team in Vegas. He is going into ownership and Bronny will play for them.

I actually think I’d stop supporting the Pels. Call me whatever you like, I’m not supporting Lebron.

He’s going to frick over an organization into drafting his son and then hold them hostage by demanding a coaching spot there when he retires.

He will 100 percent get some ownership in a team.

Nah. Jordan, Magic, Bird. They couldn’t either. You can’t hold other people to your standards.

Can’t make someone freakish and insane like Jordan.

Can’t make someone clutch like bird.

He’ll go into the hate crime manufacturing industry

He’ll also publish a series of books for athletes on racial justice topics that are actually all blank pages

A decent player does not transcend into good coaching or good ownership.

Who is the greatest player who became a great coach? Any sport?

Steve Kerr is a great coach but was a role player.

Same for Phil Jackson.

Baseball is probably the sport with the winner? Just can’t think of who it would be. And you may have to go WAY back

It’s pretty much already lined up he will be a partial owner in a new NBA team in Vegas

No, Lebron is maybe at best a couple IQ points above Forrest Gump.

God I hope so. He would probably do about as well as Patrick Ewing


I think he wants badly to be Ali, but he has nowhere near the personality or charisma to pull that off.

Lebron can’t afford an NBA team. Maybe he can get a WNBA team.

I can’t imagine becoming rich enough to be a partial owner in an NBA team and choosing to be the third wheel to the Lebron circus.

An NBA team in Vegas on the low end will have 500 million in revenue after the new deal. Most teams are going to have a 4Billion + valuation. It's almost a guaranteed way to print money.

I remember when Balmer bought the clippers for over 2Billion and people though he overpaid, but the team will be worth 6 Billion by the end of next year.
