Although he is the leader, James is not the only Lakers player who is not happy with Ham.

 

Anthony Irwin of Lakers Daily claims that superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is allegedly making every effort to discredit head coach Darvin Ham.

While James, 39, is not the only Lakers player who is not happy with Ham, he leads the team and publicly defies the coach, particularly when a play is called during a game, which spreads to the other players.

“He sits in the huddle and gets his rest/water, rolls his eyes as Ham speaks and waits for the huddle to break,” Irwin reported. “If Ham ever does draw up a play, as soon as the huddle breaks, James will tell everyone else on the court with him ‘f–k all that’ and calls a play of his own.”

Owner of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss, is said to have given 50-year-old Ham his complete support—at least for the rest of the season. However, if Ham misses the playoffs, he might lose his job.
