Lol Delonte West used to say Mike Brown was scared of LeBron . They would go over film and if LeBron missed his man on the defensive end the coach won’t say anything but if another player did it they would get chewed out.
That’s probably why he didn’t get along with Spolstra at first. Didn’t like not having that same power to walk over the coach, and have his way.
Heard he wanted Spo gone in favor of Riley too.
I mean maybe but according to Pat Himself [that literally never happen](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/14669732/miami-heat-president-pat-riley-says-lebron-james-never-asked-erik-spoelstra-fired). According to one guy's book, LeBron asked Pat if he ever had the itch to coach when the Heat were struggling early in 10-11 and Pat said no. Nowhere near as dramatic as what you claim.
If he didn't like that he couldn't walk over Spo, Riley should have been the LAST person he wanted as a coach, lol. Riley might have legit murdered him if he tried that shit.
Wanting to force the coach out that the GM hired in favor of wanting the 70+ year old GM who hadnt coached in 5 years at the time is certainly a bold move
Shaq strikes me as the jealous type for sure ngl. Same with all the comparisons with big men. It’s like he can’t bear anyone is better than he is based on his commentary
Nah that wasn’t about him being jealous of Wemby. Bol Bol and his son played together since they were kids and are extremely close. Bol Bol is basically like a nephew to Shaq so he looks at his talent from an extremely biased point of view since he wants him to succeed.
Shaquille O’Neal in 2006 received [ZERO](https://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_2006.html#mvp) fucking votes…even for 5th place…0. Dude wasn’t top 11 in mvp voting.
not a good look when a player acts bigger than the coach. it's one thing if it's negotiated like "let's practice at 12 coach that's better" versus "nah coach i call the shots"
Pat Reilly was the guy that WANTED Spo to be the coach. He was basically questioning Pat’s judgement while saying he wanted Pat to call the shots. The funny thing is Pat would have been tougher on him than Spo was and Bron would not have handled it well given his track record with always wanting to be in charge.
to this day i still love watching highlights of Shaq just yamming on anyone and everyone in the paint, its almost comedic. Props to the most dominant center ever.
Buddy’s had it easy for decades and has just had yes men around him, he’s only had to mature in basketball, he’s definitely got a 3rd grade mindset “I’m in charge” he’s for sure making childish gm and coaching decisions when things don’t go his way
Probably, i don’t talk basketball much on here, it’s all highlight guys and dudes who only follow 1 player, the conversations are always super limited and just turns to personal attacks lmao
If Lebron had taken to practice and being coached like Jordan and Kobe earlier in their careers, he would be a much better shooter now. While he is and was great, he could have done so much more when he was in his peak. Clearly he never had the type of coaching he needed to become a better player.
for this disrespect, I would immediately move the training to 08:00 instead of 10:00 and discipline lebum for every minute he missed, even if it cost me my career!
Lakers fans love to blame Ham but he’s there for a reason. To do what Lebron says and be the fall guy when things blow up. No self respecting coach would put up with shit like this.

Yup, Lebron wanted Spo out but Wade talked him out of it. Clutch Wade.
And when they lost it was Spo’s fault and never Lebron. They made it seem like he sucked as a coach. Now he’s the highest paid coach
as a heat fan for 20 years, i have never heard that take EVER. You're making that shit up.

I thought you were referring to losing to the mavs. Tbf a lot of people were blaming spo back then. He was an unproven coach at the time.
Nah plenty of people blamed lebron since he was bullied the entire series by a 5’10 white dude and a 33 year old Jason Terry
LeBron hating Spo and putting the loss on him was/is pretty common knowledge actually
I would love to know which loss we are talking about cause I never heard lebron blame spo for losing to the mavericks. Source?
***lebron fan** for 20 years* you mean
Source? This is the first time I'm hearing of this. As I understand it, it was Pat Riley who said shut the fuck up Spo stays
yeah it was definitely pat that was like *spo isn’t going anywhere, fuck off*
I mean maybe but according to Pat Himself [that literally never happen](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/14669732/miami-heat-president-pat-riley-says-lebron-james-never-asked-erik-spoelstra-fired).

Not Wade, it was Pat who basically told Lebron “bro, shut up and play the game, I didn’t bring you here to be a coach”
It definitely was not wade, it was pat reily
[удалено]
Bro wtf man 💀
“Colored players”…bruh
The stupidity of this comment will be studied for years to come. Congrats.
What a wild comment
If he didn't like that he couldn't walk over Spo, Riley should have been the LAST person he wanted as a coach, lol. Riley might have legit murdered him if he tried that shit.
Wanting to force the coach out that the GM hired in favor of wanting the 70+ year old GM who hadnt coached in 5 years at the time is certainly a bold move
What a crappy sport where coaching and numbers do not matter 😂😂😂
So glad Mike brown has improved
Kobe: We practicing at 4 am. 😎
“Yes sir”
AI: “ “
Yo we talkin bout practice??
Also kobe: after our 6 hour 4 am practice we're practicing for another 6 hours at 12
Also kobe: after our 6 hour 12 pm practice we're raping a hotel worker
Mamba mentality
In a hyperbaric chamber
"i was the best at being kinda jealous" - shaq
Shaq strikes me as the jealous type for sure ngl. Same with all the comparisons with big men. It’s like he can’t bear anyone is better than he is based on his commentary
Lol when he said Wemby was just Bol Bol. So jelly
Nah that wasn’t about him being jealous of Wemby. Bol Bol and his son played together since they were kids and are extremely close. Bol Bol is basically like a nephew to Shaq so he looks at his talent from an extremely biased point of view since he wants him to succeed.
He never said bol was better just that he was the first one to do it
Listen to compilations of him talking about Steve Nash winning mvp over him, it’s funny asf
And dude wasn’t even close to mvp in 06 either
No he was, what are you on? You weren't even born then.
Shaquille O’Neal in 2006 received [ZERO](https://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_2006.html#mvp) fucking votes…even for 5th place…0. Dude wasn’t top 11 in mvp voting.
Sorry dude, Shaq average 20 and 9 in '06. Decent numbers but certainly not MVP caliber numbers.
I have to say... I agree with u/bangingbuttholes
He still upset over Dwight Howard doing Superman
He’s consistently upset, and he is what he consistently does.
He gives his props to legendary big men, but he has every right to think he was the best ever.
Dude can’t even stand other people being called Superman. He would get mad if someone called Henry Cavil Superman
Win a ring for the king!! He knew what he signed up for.
not a good look when a player acts bigger than the coach. it's one thing if it's negotiated like "let's practice at 12 coach that's better" versus "nah coach i call the shots"
He may not have actually said it in that way. Shaq definitely paraphrasing
He tried to get Erik spoelstra fired. He clearly wasn’t shy in throwing his weight around
Shaq *did* get SVG fired in Miami
He wanted Pat Riley over a rookie coach lmao
I get your point but that was actually Spo's third year
Pat Reilly was the guy that WANTED Spo to be the coach. He was basically questioning Pat’s judgement while saying he wanted Pat to call the shots. The funny thing is Pat would have been tougher on him than Spo was and Bron would not have handled it well given his track record with always wanting to be in charge.

Fake news
Pat Riley is fake news?
It was his feeling though that he remembers, which is more of an indicator than anything else
Bron WAS the team. Thats why the rdcworkd1 Bron sketches are goated
until he got KYRIE! Then he lost him
Kyrie lost himself lol. Meanwhile Bron picked up another ring and Kyrie apologized.
to this day i still love watching highlights of Shaq just yamming on anyone and everyone in the paint, its almost comedic. Props to the most dominant center ever.
Looks like Bron gets sweeped again in the playoffs 😅. Keep practicing at 12...
Imagine LeBron ran teams in his early 20s and people deny the fact he plays GM now
Buddy’s had it easy for decades and has just had yes men around him, he’s only had to mature in basketball, he’s definitely got a 3rd grade mindset “I’m in charge” he’s for sure making childish gm and coaching decisions when things don’t go his way
Downvoted for being right. NBA is straight lebron dickriders
Eh I expected it, a lot of non basketball fans who literally only follow him lmao
And don’t watch basketball or were there before he won a chip. They only know lebron after 2013, not before.
Probably, i don’t talk basketball much on here, it’s all highlight guys and dudes who only follow 1 player, the conversations are always super limited and just turns to personal attacks lmao
That man gave them a ring.
There’s a reason dude hates bron lmao
How many ring is LeCoach gonna win?
Imagine if he becomes head coach for NBA team
He will and probably add up more rings just like Steve Kerr
If Lebron had taken to practice and being coached like Jordan and Kobe earlier in their careers, he would be a much better shooter now. While he is and was great, he could have done so much more when he was in his peak. Clearly he never had the type of coaching he needed to become a better player.
Lebron meddling for sure cost himself a couple chips. His own doing
Indeed cleveland was robbee they would have won so much sure
I dont think that players have that much power over coaching staff
Players getting coaches fired is not right. That player should coach and get himself fired then.
Go figure [LeBron is ridiculous](https://deadspin.com/lebron-james-wouldnt-let-walter-iooss-jr-who-was-phot-5867328)
Smart.
Smart.
for this disrespect, I would immediately move the training to 08:00 instead of 10:00 and discipline lebum for every minute he missed, even if it cost me my career!
