LeBron James had a great Saturday night, he achieved a historic feat by scoring 40,000 career points as the league’s top scorer. However, it was recently revealed by a Lakers insider that Bron went against the instructions of his head coach to impose his own plays.
Darwin Ham has been the head coach of the Lakers for some time now but his relationship with the players has recently been questioned. The recent revelation of Bron going against his orders further fuels the narrative of him not having a good relationship with his players.
LeBron James goes against Darwin Ham
It has been reported that Lakers superstar Lebron James often goes against the decisions of his head coach Darwin Ham. It is alleged that Bron abuses his power within the organization to override the instructions given by Darwin Ham during matches and impose his own plays in the game. It was also revealed that LeBron James instructs his teammates to ignore the coach.
Sources close to Lakers insider Anthony Irvin reportedly told him, “He (LeBron James) sits during the huddle and gets his rest and water. He rolls his eyes as Ham speaks, and waits until the huddle breaks. If Ham draws up a play, as soon as the huddle breaks, James tells everyone else on the court with him to ‘f*** all that’ and calls a play of his own.” These are very serious allegations against the “Chosen One” as denying and disrespecting the coach is not at all sportsmanlike and will tarnish his reputation among the players and the fans. He can also face some punishment from the franchise if these allegations are proven to be true.
Are Lebron and the Lakers fed up with Darwin Ham?
The recent revelation by the Lakers insider leaves the fans to speculate if things are all right between Ham and the Lakers. The answer to that question is not clear right now. As things stand, there have been rumors of Ham not having the greatest relationship with his players. It was rumored that there was a rift between Ham and Austin Reaves and even D’Lo (D’Angelo Russell) was not very happy with him.
However, there is no proof behind these rumors. As for Ham’s relationship with Lakers ace LeBron James, things didn’t look to be good between them when Bron gave him the side-eye. The recent revelations of him going against Ham’s instructions push that narrative even more.

However, Ham has the support of the franchise’s owner Jeanie Buss for now. She trusts in him for now, unlike the last head coach, who was blamed for the failed Russell Westbrook integration. It would be interesting to see whether he can stay with his opponent if things go south in the playoffs for the Lakers.
