For the 10th time in his illustrious 21-season NBA career, LeBron James is getting accustomed to a new head coach. The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly hired former NBA player and current podcast co-host, JJ Redick, on a four-year contract. This bold move brings a coaching rookie into the spotlight, tasked with managing a team that has struggled to meet its championship aspirations since their 2020 title.

With LeBron comes immense expectations and pressure, which has historically led to a revolving door of head coaches. From his early days in Cleveland to his championship runs in Miami and back to his current stint with the Lakers, LeBron has experienced a diverse array of coaching styles and philosophies. Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit all the coaches LeBron has played under:

  1. Paul Silas (2003-2005): LeBron's first NBA coach, known for his old-school approach and mentoring style, helped LeBron win the 2004 NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
  2. Mike Brown (2005-2010): Led the Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2007 and secured multiple 60+ win seasons but was eventually let go in hopes of retaining LeBron.
  3. Erik Spoelstra (2010-2014): Despite initial friction, Spoelstra guided LeBron and the Miami Heat to four straight NBA Finals and two championships, solidifying his reputation as one of the league's top coaches.
  4. David Blatt (2014-2016): Hired before LeBron’s return to Cleveland, Blatt’s European coaching style never quite meshed with the team, leading to his mid-season dismissal despite a 53-29 record and a Finals appearance.
  5. Tyronn Lue (2016-2018): Promoted from assistant coach, Lue led the Cavaliers to their historic 2016 NBA Championship, though the team struggled to maintain that success, leading to LeBron’s departure to LA.
  6. Luke Walton (2018-2019): Struggled to integrate LeBron with the Lakers’ young core, resulting in a disappointing season and Walton’s eventual dismissal.
  7. Frank Vogel (2019-2022): Brought a defensive-minded approach that led the Lakers to their 2020 NBA Championship in the bubble, but later struggled with team dynamics and the ill-fated Russell Westbrook trade.
  8. Darvin Ham (2022-2024): Managed to bench Westbrook and lead the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals, but consistent underperformance led to his firing after two seasons.
  9. J.J. Redick (2024-?): The newest addition, and LeBron’s podcast co-host, now faces the challenge of bringing the Lakers back to championship contention in a high-stakes environment.

From seasoned veterans to fresh faces, each coach has brought something unique to the table. With Redick now at the helm, the Lakers are betting on a new dynamic that leverages his close relationship with LeBron.
