‘He’s Always Taken a Distance’: Brian Windhorst Clarifies LeBron James Role in Lakers Coaching Hires
Brian Windhorst clarifies how LeBron James preferably stays away from the coaching decisions for the Los Angeles Lakers. Ahead of all the rumor, will Lakers prioritize Bron to secure his return?
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst recently shared his insights on LeBron James' involvement in the Los Angeles Lakers coaching search.
Windhorst dismissed the notion that LeBron actively partakes in coaching hires and clarified that James typically maintains a distance from such decisions.
On his appearance on the Dan Patrick Show on YouTube, Windhorst said, "LeBron doesn't get involved in coaching hires; for years, for many coaches, he's always taken a distance.”
Contrary to the widespread belief that LeBron has a significant influence in choosing and dismissing coaches, Windhorst emphasized that James prefers not to engage with potential coaching candidates.
He explained that while James may have conversations with the coach after their hiring, he generally refrains from being involved in the selection process.
However, the Lakers are eagerly anticipating the potential return of LeBron James, an endeavor deemed of paramount importance according to reports from The Athletic's Shams Charania, Jovan Buha, and Sam Amick, especially as James contemplates his $51.42 million player option for the 2024–25 season.
