Will Blatt be Lebrons HOF coach?

[Spaulding]

Majority of great players had a HoF coach, will Blatt be Lebrons first?

[GoSpursGo1984]

Maybe but Blatt would probably have to prove that he can win in the NBA without Lebron before he would make it.

[kennethgriffin]

spo will be a coach of atleast 1 more title team before he's finished. dudes pretty young and riley believes in him. plus he has 2 titles already and coaches a prestigious franchise



so lebron will end up with 2 or more HOF coaches

[Lebron23]

Spoloestra is a future hall of famer because he won 2 NBA titles, and he's 1/2 asian.

Erik Spoelstra will end his career with at least 2 titles and will probably coach for another 20 years given his age. He will most likely end up as a HOFer even if you think he doesn't deserve it.

Either way, Lebron isn't really capable of playing under a Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, or Greg Popovich. He's clearly shown he can't play under a disciplined offense where not one player dominates the ball too much nor does he want to play on a team where the coach has as much power and influence as those guys did and those coaches don't want to coach a team where one player has as much power as Lebron wants. So the point is irrelevant.

People tend to forget that Blatt already has a lot of accolades from his time in Europe. And since it's the Naismith Basketball HOF and not the NBA HOF, I'd say he has a decent chance.

He's never played under a coach that has demanded as much respect as those three. So we really don't know. If he developed under one of those coaches, he'd almost certainly be a different player.

So now ONE Euroleague championship in 22 years of coaching is "a lot of accolades" and that plus a gold at EuroBasket and a bronze at the Olympics is hall of fame worthy for work in international basketball?

If that is the case, then probably 50 coaches in Europe alone should get in right now ahead of Blatt.

You need to learn the difference between bullshit hype marketing for the NBA that NBA game announcers tell you, and from actual reality.

He just said he has a decent chance -- probably dependent on how he does in his tenure with the NBA. With an NBA championship and a decade-long career here, TO GO ALONG WITH the work he's donr overseas, the chances are pretty good.

So calm down, psycho.

No he will not. Lebron is a prima donna.

Is this a joke? Spo has NEVER even won a playoff series without Lebron. Last season couldn't even make the playoffs in an all time weak conference. Spo has no shot at the HOF whatsoever! It's a damn miracle that Lebron was able to get two rings being coached by that bum.

Lebron is all about having power, moreso then maybe any NBA player in history. That's a huge reason he went back to Cleveland. As egotistical as Jordan and Kobe are, they at least weren't always looking for a situation where they had that level of power. Its not a coincidence that the one coach that Lebron didn't just totally walk over was Spoelstra since his job status wasn't determined by Lebron's preference and he had Riley's backing. And its not a coincidence that Lebron wanted out of the situation the first chance he got. And that was with Riley from a distance, not Riley as a coach.

Its one thing to not play for coaches that demand respect. Its another thing to go ahead and actually disrespect them. He clearly doesn't want to play for a coach that would actually demand respect, which is why he had no problem going back to Cleveland even though they just hired a first year coach. Its already been reported that he likes Blatt as coach since he can basically kick him around without any consequence.

He would NOT want to play under Phil, Pop, or Riley. He played a less ball-dominant style under Spoelstra, but still a more ball-dominant style then any offense under Phil or Pop, yet he didn't want to play that style anymore. What does that tell you? He wouldn't want to play in a system that emphasizes ball movement and no ball dominance. And like I said, he wants power but not only over coaching, but over OWNERSHIP. Those three would not coach under those circumstances.

This is why the Lebron not having a HOF coach argument is weak. All signs point to him not wanting to be in a situation that makes sense for a HOF coach.

Are you kidding? The guy has coached 3 seasons without Lebron. ISH logic at its finest. If a guy doesn't do something in x amount of years, he could never and will never do it under any other possible scenario

Spo coaches in the east you fool. Any coach who can't make the playoffs with Wade, Deng, Dragic, and Whiteside in THAT conference is a bum, period. Brad Stevens made the playoffs with D leaguers for crying out loud, so I don't want to hear any excuses about injuries to Bosh and other role players.

All 5 of those guys missed a significant amount of games for the Heat. They had inconsistent lineups all year. It doesn't matter how talented they are. Consistency and time to mesh matters. So it's not really shocking that they didn't make the playoffs. Anyway, it's not like Spo didn't coach worse teams into the playoffs. If you really think Spo is never getting another team to the playoffs and past the 1st round, you're a moron.

Again, ISH logic at its finest
