One of the greatest AFL players of all time turned his hand to coaching. And he single-handedly destroyed the club, ruined his own name and brought the entire code into disrepute. So I hear you.
There's a reason why, Larry Bird aside, the majority of players turned great coaches were role players
Opinion of LeBron specifically aside, most stars make awful coaches. There's a reason why, Larry Bird aside, the majority of players turned great coaches were role players
When LeBron is frustrated, he does dumb things.
I don't pretend to like the guy. I just shared my particular reasons for disliking him. They're not exactly unique to me, either.My question was *somewhat* hypothetical. I don't follow basketball closely enough to really care or respond to his points. I was sorta just spitballing. I'd like to hear from others too, though. Cos whilst I know Headache is hella knowledgable on the sport, he's also biased. You'd have thought Miami Heat were the spawn of Satan the way he talked about them in the 2012 & 13 Finals.
Like I can only compare it to my own sports leagues that I actually follow back here, and there's teams I hate - and there are probably cultural/structural differences that I'm not aware of - but it doesn't blind me, yknow? I haaaaate the team that has won the past three AFL grand finals, but I respect the shit out of them, because they're so good.
Would be yet another side effect of an offense that is largely stationary and isolation based.
Well, those teams sucked.It wasn't like that in the first three rounds, though. There was relatively little iso ball, except when they got in trouble against Toronto. I think Lue is trying to slow the game down, but it's taking them out of their normal rhythm.

I don't see LeBron having the right temperament to be a coach, regardless of how high he tells us his basketball IQ is.
There are a few soccer players... Zinedine Zidane is having good success. Maradona gave it a whirl but wasn't anything to write home about.I think that's the case in most sports. I can't really think, off the top of my head, of a superstar player who later became a good coach.

Patrick Roy is off to a decent start. Gretzky wasn't terrible. Wasn't good, but wasn't bad. Don't think he had tons to work with.
But the measure of success is championships or, at the very least, consistent playoff appearances or deep runs. And by that metric, most superstar players never become good coaches.
I wonder if Peyton will become a coach and how he can translate his high football IQ to that role.
Joe Torre was an above average catcher. I'd hardly call him a great player.Joe Torre was a great player and later a great manager.
Torre played for the Mets.Says the bitter Mets fan.
