Darvin Ham Criticizes Lakers After Firing

News summary

Darvin Ham, recently victorious as a lead assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup, expressed his disappointment over being fired by the Los Angeles Lakers despite a commendable record of 90-74 and a conference finals appearance. He believes that had he achieved similar success elsewhere, he would have received an extension, emphasizing that his team's remarkable journey from not making the playoffs to winning the in-season tournament deserves recognition. The Lakers, now struggling with a 14-12 record under new head coach JJ Redick, have shown a significant decline defensively, raising questions about their decision to dismiss Ham. Ham highlighted that while the focus remains on their playoff loss to the Denver Nuggets, his team also secured key victories against formidable opponents like the Warriors and Grizzlies. The Lakers' current struggles underscore the debate over whether Ham was indeed the problem or if the team's issues run deeper. Ultimately, Ham's accolades with the Bucks contrast sharply with the turmoil of his exit from Los Angeles, illustrating the complexities of coaching in a high-pressure environment.
