LeBron James, the star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, is widely considered one of the greatest players in NBA history and his decision-making skills on the court often overshadow those of his teammates and opponents. However, in a recent revelation, James shared that his decision-making sometimes even trumps that of his own head coach.
During a podcast appearance, James discussed a game against the Los Angeles Clippers where he overruled a gameplan put in place by coach Darvin Ham. He explained, “We had switching built in versus Kawhi and versus James [Harden] and whatever the case may be, and I vetoed it in the second half.”

James further elaborated, “I know T-Lue more than any other player that’s been with T-Lue, and I know he plays target ball too. It got to a point where I knew, in order for us to get back into the game, switching anybody onto Kawhi is not favorable for us. So I might as well get ready for the Wizards. So, I vetoed it.”
It’s not entirely surprising that James would make such a decision. After all, there have been murmurs for months about his open disapproval of Ham’s coaching decisions. In fact, there are reports suggesting that James has been undermining Ham for quite some time. This recent incident seems to be just another example of their discord.
Can they overcome their differences?
It’s clear that there is some tension between James and Ham. The coach’s decision-making abilities have come under scrutiny, and it’s evident that James doesn’t always see eye to eye with him. This raises questions about whether they will be able to reconcile their differences as they head into the 2024 NBA playoffs.
As the playoffs approach, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on James and Ham. Will they find a way to work together and align their strategies for the benefit of the team? Only time will tell, but based on their history, it seems unlikely that they will easily find common ground. The smart money suggests that their conflicting decision-making styles may continue to create friction as they navigate through the high-stakes playoffs.
