    Jordan got Doug Collins fired.

    They were the 4th or 5th seed when he was playing. They are 5-10 without him which puts them on the suns level.

    Anyone who likely wouldn't get a shot at teams they'd like to coach. It would be a looong list. It just wouldn't contain any of the top handful of coaches in it.

    Wouldn't you want to coach the Lakers and get millions of dollars a year? Tens of millions of candidates out there....

    Recall what he told his dad when he got offered the job. "I've got some good news, and some bad news. The good news is I was offered a job as head coach.! The bad news is its the Lakers."

    Not good for Lebron's legacy at all. Dude is probably the most prolific coach killer in NBA history and somehow we gloss over it.

    Man I was a big Lebron fan and thought he could replace MJ/Kareem as the Goat but **** like this and his move to the Lakers destroyed his legacy. Dude's acting like a megalomaniac and interfering with roster and GM moves wtf he is a player not part of the FO.

    4rth or 5th seed not enough if he is gonna tamper with the coach and bring his own players he should make the Lakers the best.

    Going 5-10 without him is normal he is the guy they paid max dollars for in fact Lebron is letting the Lakers down cuz he is injured and missed so many games.

    Are you seriously comparing Jordan getting one coach fired to Lebron ‘s career full of whining to get whatever he wants? Lol

    No kidding. If LeBron's ego was any larger, his head would explode. Cute to put out this message while out with an injury.

    I would honestly respect LeBron more if he just said upfront who he wanted to "coach" his team.

    This repeated underhanded nonsense makes an already bad trait look even worse.

    Are you going to compare LeBron's coaches to Phil Jackson?
    Without Jordan, Phil Jackson took the bulls to 50+ wins. How many of LeBron's coaches have had a 50 win season without him?

    If Lebron is winning, which he pretty much always has been, why is it wrong for him to get shoddy coaches fired?

    I wish James Harden's camp would have got McHale fired quicker. Sheesh.

    They have one of the tougher remaining schedules. He's going to have to turn on that playoff Lebron earlier than expected this year.

    LeBron James is the GOAT in Disasters
    • The Decision on live broadcast, leaving Cleveland for Miami, Cleveland Fans burn his jersey
    • Started the whole Superteam with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh
    • With Miami, LeBron was a sidekick to Dwyane Wade
    • LeBron Flopped the whole year and in to the Finals
    • LeBron and Dwyane made fun of Dirk when Dirk was sick, with media , they were fake coughing making fun of Dirk, Dirk destroyed LeBron and Dwyane and Dirk won the Championship
    • Kawhi Leonard destroyed LeBron in the Finals, and won the Finals MVP, won the Championship
    • Won 2 Championships with the Heat, people put a asterisk
    • LeBron James was identified for Steroids use, Drug Clinic identified his orders
    • Left Miami for Cleveland, Pat Riley shocked LeBron left
    • Andre Iguodala destroys the LeBron, Cavaliers in the Finals
    • Got David Blatt fired, Tyronn Lue promoted and Won a Title because Draymond was suspended, LeBron delusional that he is the Greatest
    • Kyrie Irving hates LeBron because Kyrie never got any credit, especially his game winning shot for the Championship
    • Went to the Finals, punched a whiteboard, never wore a wrap the whole series, after being swept, media time after the ending LeBron with a mic in hand shows off his wrapped hand looking for sympathy, he did it on purpose, not get tarnished by the media, feel sorry for him
    • LeBron leaves the Cavaliers again for the Lakers, wanting more media attention, during the offseason he looked very skinny, I guess not using steroids.
    • LeBron wants Luke Walton fired

    I actually think Luke hasn't been doing all that badly. Just look at who isn't injured on their roster right now.

    Would love for Walton to take over for MDA after he’s done coaching.

    I mean people say this, but Jordan and Magic manipulated coaching changes and teammate trades just like Lebron. Lebron is just way more passive aggressive about it all and has a more willing accomplice in the media.
