The Los Angeles Lakers made some tough decisions following their early playoff exit against the Denver Nuggets last season. They began by firing their entire coaching staff, including head coach Darvin Ham. After extensive rumors and speculation, the Lakers hired JJ Redick as their new head coach. However, just a few games into the new NBA season, fans are speculating about Redick’s potential exit from the team after a recent viral photo of LeBron James.
Basketball fans saw an intense competition in a recent game between the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. During the second quarter, a photographer captured a candid shot of LeBron James alongside JJ Redick. In the photo, James had his hands on his waist while Redick held his chin with a curious expression. A parody account called Hater Report recently shared that photo and captioned it, “LeBron thinking about firing JJ Redick already.”
Basketball fans began sharing their thoughts in the comment section of Hater Report’s post on X (formerly Twitter). One fan remarked, “Damn we already at the coach firing part of the lebron cycle lmao.”

Redick Reflects On Observing The James Duo In Action
The Lakers selected LeBron James’ son, Bronny, in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. During the season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, King made history as he and Bronny became the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. Many fans, players, and analysts expressed their excitement about this remarkable moment. Additionally, Redick shared his thoughts on watching the James duo on the court.
“I mean, you get to coach your own kids when they’re little. But he’s in the freaking NBA, shooting right over here on this basket with his son. … They were doing 2-on-2 pick-and-roll drills to start practice against the coaches. One of them’s guarding the ball. One of them’s guarding the screener. It’s surreal,” Redick told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
As the regular season kicks off, basketball fans can look forward to witnessing the impressive synergy between the James duo on the court. Their dynamic playing styles and strong chemistry will undoubtedly steal the spotlight in the upcoming games, making for thrilling matchups and memorable moments.
