literally no one here cares about Lebron. Last year we had one poster who defended him, but haven't seen him around here. Pretty much everyone else thinks he's a massive douche.
Naturally gifted athletes rarely make the best coaches. I was listening to a podcast that had a pitcher on that said it’s because the natural guys don’t know how to teach guys to do what they naturally can do. The guys who weren’t naturally as gifted, but figured out how to make it work or work around it, are often better at coaching others to do it.LeBron would be an awesome coach, he has a brilliant basketball IQ. I doubt he would though, as I could see him in a management or ownership role.
I’m just talking merely from an x&o’s stand point/ knowledge of the game and being able to legit see plays before they happen. Not to mention he knows practically every teams switches. His direction on switches against GS last series was mind blowing.Naturally gifted athletes rarely make the best coaches.

I don’t know if that translates to all sports but the way he described it made sense to me.
Fair. I do think that the seeing plays before they happen and being able to adjust to it is part of what makes him great on the court but isn’t always as transferable. He’s athletic and talented enough to do something when it’s happening in front of him. But I think most coaching at that level is more planning ahead of time and making adjustments during dead balls. As good as he is in real time it’s hard to know if he’s great at that.I’m just talking merely from an x&o’s stand point/ knowledge of the game and being able to legit see plays before they happen.

Yeah, that’s what’s I’m thinking too. Could see him eventually being a President of a team somewhere or GM initially.Fair.

But who knows? I doubt he’d want to be on the sidelines. I would imagine he’d go the ownership route.
I think he fits the mold of the management owner.LeBron would be an awesome coach, he has a brilliant basketball IQ. I doubt he would though, as I could see him in a management or ownership role.
