Byron Scott: Make LeBron James the head coach
Byron Scott, a former Lakers player himself from 1983-1993 and from 1996-97, gave the bold and unorthodox statement as he believes that since LeBron James has so much input on the team’s strategy and decisions, he might as well take control of the game plans as well as player-coach (skip to the 0:18 mark). “My recommendation [for] the next Lakers coach, and out of the eight or nine names that I’ve heard, his name wasn’t on there, is make LeBron [James] the [head] coach. Make him the coach,” Scott said on Undisputed. “Listen, I got nothing but love and respect for LeBron, I love him, I think he’s one of the greatest players that ever played this game, but it’s obvious to me at least, that he’s making a lot of decisions that’s going on in this organization from a coaching standpoint to a player standpoint. So if you’re going to allow him to make those decisions, alright, sit on the bench and make those decisions as well as be head coach.”

If Taco Bell invested into food quality as much as they do into paying spokesmen like LBJ and Jason Sudekis I might actually eat Taco Bell – 9:58 PM

Was the story about LeBron trying and failing to trademark “Taco Tuesday” just an elaborate five-year plan to eventually roll out a Taco Bell commercial with Jason Sudekis? Who can say – 9:54 PM

It’s crazy that Joker has 3 MVPs and Kobe has one. Joker has one fewer MVPs than LeBron. Joker has one ring. Kobe and LeBron have 9 combined. – 8:13 PM

How do you evaluate Cavs president Koby Altman? – Terry Pluto
“My stance is the front office led by Altman has done a good job. Rebuilding a team after LeBron James departs is a major challenge,” Terry Pluto writes.

More on this storyline
LeBron James: “Over the last four to five years, after the season, I’ve tried to give my body at least two months of no basketball. I’m still doing yoga, Pilates, and stretching, but I want to be off the court to let my body rest.” -via YouTube / May 8, 2024
LeBron James: “You know emotionally I feel like we were like right there obviously in every game to be able to steal a game but also at the same time, you know, we were and that’s why we lost the series and it hurts obviously… but I feel like a couple plays here and a couple plays there, you know, we could have won the series but the better team won, for sure. Give credit where credit is due.” -via YouTube / May 8, 2024
LeBron James: “Michael Porter is the one who kicked our ass. Remember we talking about like having luck to win a championship? Denver is a is a case for that. There’s no way coming out of high school before the back surgery that Michael Porter would even be in Denver. This guy was a projected No. 1 pick in the draft, you know, and because of the back teams get alarmed and whatever the case. Because of that and he slid in the draft and he slid right to the perfect position.” -via YouTube / May 8, 2024
