‘Don’t This Dummy Coach Bryce?’: X User Livid At LeBron James Refusing To See Losses Through JJ Redick’s Perspective

LeBron James comments after the Los Angeles Lakers disappointing loss to the Orland Magic seem to have riled up one particular X user.

When James was asked for his response to JJ Redicks comment about having sleepless nights analyzing a loss, the four-time NBA champion said he had no way of knowing what a coach goes through because he was just a player.

@ApexJones22 clearly took offense to what James said.

He posted a video of the interview in the locker room, where Rachel Nicolls asked James if Redicks style of working, poring over hours of game film after a loss, could be sustained over an 82-game season.

James replied: The user then added his own edit to the video, saying that Nicholls was asking LeBron his thoughts because he personally hired JJ Redick.

His logic was that since James did a podcast with Redick, he should know what the coachs thought process was like.

He attacked James further, questioning his self-awareness, while reminding everyone that LeBron had coached his son Bryce in the summer.

Dont this dummy coach Bryce in the summer? Actin like he cant relate to a coachs perspective..., read the last of his vitriol-filled posts.

The Lakers are currently on a two-game losing streak.

But that doesnt change the fact that Redick, in his rookie season as head coach, has made significant progress, while revamping their style of play too.

Redicks impact on the Lakers is clear Redick was under a lot of scrutiny before the start of the season.

Many people were of the view that the coach got the job because of his podcast with LeBron.

However, the Lakers 10-6 start to the season has shown that there is serious merit in JJs coaching.

Not only has he won over a locker room that has been branded difficult by the media, hes also introduced set plays and runs that are way beyond anything the Lakers have implemented for a while.

Redicks first move was to make Anthony Davis the hub of offense.

Getting the ball to Davis in the high post is one of the Lakers favorite plays this season.

In most cases, Davis would back himself down into the paint to get a chance to score.

Redick has, however, utilized Davis as a playmaker too, while the opposition players are bent on responding to the threat of a basket he poses.

Davis can make great reads on backdoor cuts and his contribution as a passer often goes unnoticed.

The modern NBA is perfect for JJ.

His offensive plays are unpredictable and give the team several chances to score on a single possession.

This unpredictability will come in handy during the playoffs.

Redick has also understood the value of consistently pressing the defense and has made use of rotations early on in his coaching tenure.

The fact remains that the Purple and Gold are displaying great signs despite their two losses.

Although it is too soon to tell, there is a good chance that the Lakers will be a formidable team in April and may even contend for banner #18..
