Do you think Popovich can coach a guy like Lebron?

[Dame Dash's Motor Oil]

Yeah I think he could

Now is another story

" Hey Mike me and RC Buford our GM have decided to bring in a sharpshooter off the bench. Our top 2 was Charlie Ward and Dan Majerle, but Charlie took a lower contract offer so we'll take hi-"

"What I tell you mothafukkas?"

"But listen it's a bargain Mik-"

"NO nikkaS"

 

[Remote]

Didn't Tyronn Lue tell Lebron to shut the fukk up in a game last year?

 

[Draje]

Bron respects basketball genius and guys who can understand the game as well as he can. Pop is one of the few people in the league that could school Lebron on basketball IQ and understanding.

And Lebron developed under Pop and Spurs system would be a GOAT player.

 

[SadimirPutin]

by the way the idea that a player should automatically be subservient to a coach is nonsense

there are tons of bad coaches in sports who deserve to get called out by players.

why should a coach get to slide on perpetual bad decision making?

If Pop made a bad decision and Kawhi lit his ass up on the sideline that would be perfectly justified as well

Look at how he's talking to Kawhi. Not saying what he did was horrible

Popovich has been downright lucky with the superstars he coached
- David Robinson (Ex Military)
- Tim Duncan (reserved type guy)
- Kawhi (Even more reserved borderline-mute type guy)

It got me thinking, could Popovich coach a guy like Lebron's personality? .
Outgoing, life of the party, does what he wants, gives his input on how to coach the team, etc

To be honest I don't think he can . He won't be able to bring the best out of Lebron
Similar to coaching a guy like Wilt, Iverson, Baron Davis, Magic Johnson, or Shaq

Oddly enough, I think Kobe and Popovich would make a great match though

agree with bold name
not kobe either , u gotta read phil jackson book to understand that

 

[bucks3115]

That would be hilarious lmao. Just to troll KD. In a few years it could just be an all star game in the western conference finals:

LeBron, Kawhi, Embiid, Harden, Westbrook for the Spurs

Vs

Durant, Curry, Klay, AD, Giannis for the Warriors

 

[SAINT]

Lebron would have pop fired after the 20th game. We all know how sensitive baby Bron Bron is.

 

[ace416]

Yea he'd be just like Tony Parker who argues back but respectfully.

 

[YourMajesty]

Bron is uncoachable if he don't get his way so nah

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Bron is uncoachable if he don't get his way so nah

He pretty regularly was challenged to play outside his comfort zones by Spo and Mike Brown really got on him about defense when he was young too . I don't see why Popovich couldn't get through to him then.

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Pop has coached LeBron doe in the Olympics and what not

 

[Ice Cold]

Didn't pop coach captain jack?
He's coached bron in the olympics as well?
He's not like pj what's his face who got choked out or something

 

[FIFTY ROUND DRUM]

Referring to Kawhi as "borderline-mute" shyt getting old.

But to answer your question, I think he would be straight.

 

[KillerB88]

No. Lebron's game is too organic. If the Spurs' system can't win them a game, they simply lose. There are no adjustments, no takeovers, nothing. Either they wear your down with steady, precision bball, or they fail. Lebron can turn what looks like an L into a W. I think that's the true mark of a superstar, and while I enjoy Kawhi as a player-- I'm still waiting to see that from him.

 

[Remote]

So this is the new wave?
Slander Lebron as uncoachable and hardheaded?



Or are you guys going to spin this to say Lebron is the GOAT because he coached himself without anybody help or direction?
