The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Speaking of Scott, I think the impression of the vast majority of fans is still in the memory of coaching the Lakers in the past, yes, Scott's two years in Los Angeles are the most sparse in the history of the Lakers, winning a total of 38 games in two seasons, that period of time is really the darkest moment in the history of the Los Angeles team.

However, what really impresses fans is not the bad record, but Scott's bottomless in Los Angeles, loss of principles, unscrupulous, and doing everything possible to kneel and lick Kobe, what one science to fight three tigers, three science to sink aircraft carriers, five science to destroy God, ten science and technology innovation century, its description is exaggerated, the words are numb, the behavior is sympathetic, and the flattery of the appearance makes the hardcore Komi disgusted.

At that time, because of the Lakers' poor record, many Lakers fans were dissatisfied, and they vented all these dissatisfaction on Scott, and even some fans with good things changed Byron Scott's introduction on Wikipedia to - Byron Scott: NBA kneeling and licking head coach.

In fact, Scott's kneeling and licking style has been formed as early as when he played, unlike the playing days of coaches such as D'Antoni, George Carr, and Phil Jackson, Scott's player resume is quite glamorous, and he has a career of 14 years, including 10 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, which was the "SHOW TIME" at that time The core player, the most glorious season, averaged nearly 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals per game, and won a total of 3 championships in his career, which was not a big star in the league at that time.

Scott in his playing days

Jordan in the first comeback, can be called the league's ultimate devil, every player when they meet the Bulls, when facing Jordan, they all want to show themselves in front of the god of basketball, and in the end without exception are all beaten to the ground, such as Mutombo, in the 97 All-Star Game, Mutombo provoked Jordan, saying that Jordan has never dunked on his head, and he really wants to feel the feeling of being dunked by Jordan, but in the first meeting after the All-Star Game, Jordan satisfied Mutombo's wish, and after completing the dunk, he also made the latter's signature finger shaking action at Mutombo。

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

What's even funnier is that after retiring, Mutombo once talked about it, saying that after the game, he was very angry, and immediately bought two posters of his own cap Jordan and pasted them on the wall of his bedroom......

Also provoking Jordan was the league's famous hard-liner head coach George Karl, when Jordan after his first comeback, his style of play changed slightly, and he used a lot of jump shots in the offense to end the battle, and at that time, the head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics George Karl made a big fuss before the game against the Bulls, saying that Jordan's heavy use of mid-range jumpers was a manifestation of a soft egg, and a soft egg could not win the SuperSonic!

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

These words naturally reached Jordan's ears, and as a result, in the game, Jordan almost did not enter the restricted area, but showed the fans his dazzling mid-range shooting skills, 15 seconds before the end, Jordan actually hit a half-court ultra-long whistle three-pointer, and the most important thing is that every time Jordan throws in, he will turn his head and look at George Karl, who is standing on the sidelines with his arms hugging his chest, and the angry seven-hole smoke George Karl can be called murderous, and finally Jordan relied on various fancy jump shots, 28 shots 19 of 45 points, and led the Bulls 91: 84 defeated the supersonics, and after the game, it is said that Carl was fainted by gas and rushed to the hospital for oxygen.

Just a week before this game, the Bulls played against the Knicks, Knicks head coach Van Gundy Jr. also provoked Jordan in an interview with the media, saying that Jordan is a liar, a hypocrite, he always calls his opponent brother and brother before the game, but once he returns to the court, he is cold-blooded and ruthless, Van Gundy Jr. not only said, but also posted in the newspaper, (Jordan and the Knicks players at the time, Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley had a personal relationship, Van Gundy Jr. said this is actually to motivate the Knicks, but Jordan obviously doesn't think so), Jordan is to fight back, I will score 50 points above the Knicks' head!

As a result, Jordan said nothing, scored 51 points on 18-of-30 shooting, and led the Bulls to defeat the Knicks 89-88, which was also ridiculed when Jordan was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Jordan's Hall of Fame speech teased Riley and Van Gundy Jr

The reason why Jordan is so strong has a lot to do with his extreme and perverted competitiveness, how perverted is it? If you mess with him, he will blow you up in the game and embarrass you, and if you don't mess with him, he will make up that you provoke him out of thin air, and then blow you up in the game and embarrass you.

The above nonsense is a bit much, all in all, it is a sentence, the peak Jordan is very strong, and he is invincible all over the league, but our Byron Scott has a unique way of defending Jordan, and is complacent about it, after Scott retired, in an interview with the media, he happily shared this unique defensive method with everyone, that is-kneeling and licking.

Scott said in an interview,

"When you face Jordan, you have to not provoke him, but praise him, like Jordan put a ball in my head, and I'm going to clap Jordan and say, hey, Michael, this is a good shot, you're amazing, I'm going to take it." You have to say this often, repeatedly, so that Jordan will usually let you go because he is embarrassed, and easily get twenty or thirty points. ”

That's how kneeling licking comes about.

In the 2000-2001 season, after retiring, Scott became a head coach for the first time to coach the New Jersey Nets Stephen Marbury, after a season, 26-56, 12th in the East, failed to make the playoffs, this year, Scott did not show any outstanding technical and tactical characteristics, and his on-court performance was also criticized, in fact, these two problems are also the biggest weaknesses in Scott's entire coaching career, but Scott at that time did not show the potential to kneel and lick.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

However, in the second season, Scott's coaching career came back to life because of a trade, the Nets traded Marbury for Jason Kidd, the Nets took off in an instant, 52-30, first in the East, the highest winning percentage in the history of the Nets, in the playoffs, the Nets killed the Pacers 3:2 in the first round, defeated Charlotte 4:1, won the Green Shirts 4:2 in the East Finals, and finally reached the Finals all the way, and finally 0: 4 lost to the pinnacle OK, sent the head, although this season did not complete the championship, but for the Nets, or for Scott, it is a great season!

Next season, the Nets are 49-33, second in the East, reaching the Finals for the second year in a row, losing to the Spurs 2:4, defeating, and leading the team to the Finals for two consecutive seasons, which is also the highlight of Scott's career!

Do you think our Scott is going to kneel and lick Kidd?

NO!

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

In fact, Scott's relationship with Kidd was quite average!

For Scott, in the first three seasons of his coaching career, he led the team to the Finals twice, and he couldn't pull out a few people throughout history, and he was the second person in NBA history to win 25+ playoffs in the first three seasons (the first person was Phil Jackson), but the strange thing is that in the best coach awards in these two seasons, Scott was ignored, losing to Larry Brown of the 76ers for the first time and Rick Carlisle for the Pistons for the second time.

The outside world still believes that it was not Scott who brought the Nets back to life, but Jason Kidd, and Kidd, who has been the MVP favorite candidate for two consecutive years, he also thinks so, he made a lot of nonsense to the media, saying that it was his own credit to lead the team to the finals twice, and the dissatisfaction was also reflected in the words - the reason for the failure of the two championships was because Scott's business ability was not up to standard, and all kinds of words were full of disrespect for Scott.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

The second and most important point is that Kidd has a very strong desire for power, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't listen to Scott's deployment on the field, the key is that Kidd always made a small report to the management, accusing Scott of not being able to play anything, his business ability is too poor, and he even said insulting things like "Scott's coaching is not as good as my son".

Although Scott said that his business ability was indeed poor, he was also a person with a face in the league, and was so humiliated by a junior, of course, Scott was also furious, and finally, in a media interview, Scott inadvertently slipped his mouth, saying "I won't play golf with Kidd in private", completely exposing the bad relationship between the two people.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

In the 2003-2004 season, the 43rd game, the Nets played at home against the Celtics, the Nets actually played well, leading by 17 points at halftime, but the contradiction between Scott and Kidd broke out completely in this game, Scott let Kidd go east, Kidd went west, Scott let Kidd go west, Kidd went north, the two just couldn't pee in a pot, Scott was full of anger and vented on the referee, and finally ate two T and was expelled from the game, no one thought that this was Scott's last game in charge of the Nets, and at the end of the game, Scott received a notice of dismissal, which also means that he played a game with the team boss, which ended in a fiasco.

It is worth mentioning that after Scott was fired, assistant coach Lawrence Frank (the one who later coached Yi Jianlian) officially took the position, Frank was obedient to Kidd, Kidd also expressed great satisfaction, the relationship between the two was very harmonious, they worked together until 2008, and established a very good battlefield friendship, on June 13, 2013, Kidd became the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets after only 9 days of retirement, and the first thing was to lobby the management and sign Frank as his chief assistant coach with a 6-year 6 million contract, focusing on defense。

Yi Jianlian and Lawrence Frank

But only half a year later, in December, because Frank and Kidd had an argument in a game that lost to the Magic - when the team was behind and needed to arrange a defensive tactic, Frank directly picked up the tactical board to draw tactics, which caused Kidd's dissatisfaction, thinking that Frank was overstepping his responsibilities and wanted to control the team.

It is worth mentioning that after Frank resigned, he immediately received an invitation from the Clippers and became the assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, and the head coach of the Clippers at that time was our smart Lao Li, who had to admire our Lao Li's wrist, and the sophistication of the world was so good, whether it was Mike D'Antoni or Frank Lawrence, as long as he was in trouble and went to Lao Li, Lao Li raised his hands to welcome and take them all in, or why is our Lao Li so popular in the league?

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Back to the book, let's move on to Scott.

Obviously, with Scott's resume of two finals in three years, he didn't have to worry about finding a home, and on May 4, 2004, in the first round of the Eastern Conference in the playoffs, the New Orleans Hornets finished with 77The Hornets, who lost to the Miami Heat in 85, had two All-Stars that season, Baron Davis and Jamal Magloyer, obviously couldn't accept such a loss, and the next day, Hornets general manager Bob Buss submitted his resignation and announced his retirement, head coach Tim Floyd stepped down, and then the Hornets announced the signing of Jeff Ball as the team's general manager, and the four-year, 13 million (fourth-year team option) to sign Byron Scott as the team's head coach.

Last season, when Scott was fired by the Nets halfway, the Nets' record was still the first in the Atlantic Division, and it was because of the conflict with the team boss that he was dismissed by the Nets' management.

At that time, the boss of the Hornets was called Baron Davis, a nickname that had been monopolized by Davis until Harden became a "beard".

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Scott's first year at the Hornets, the team can be described as quite miserable, Jeff Ball came up to rebuild, sent the bearded Baron Davis to Golden State, in exchange for two Calami Jr., last season's second All-Star Magloyl only played 23 games and suffered a serious knee injury, the season was reimbursed, and the others were the little Calami in the little Calami, and what was even more tragic was that this season, the last new team in the league, Charlotte Bobcats, joined the NBA, because of geography, the Bobcats were undoubtedly assigned to the Eastern season, which led to 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West, and for the balance of the league, the East had to take a team with a home court in the middle to play in the West, Wasp unfortunately became this unlucky egg.

So the question is, just how unlucky is this unlucky guy?

At that time, the league pattern was strong in the west and weak in the east, and the New Orleans Hornets, who ranked fifth in the East with 41 wins and 41 losses last season, if they were placed in the West last year, ranked outside the top ten, they couldn't get into the playoffs, and this was not the most important, the NBA schedule system was that the teams in the same district and the teams in the opposite district only played 28 games a season, and the remaining 54 games were only played with teams in the same district, what do you mean, the Hornets in the East last season only played 28 games with the strong Western teams in a season, but this season, the Hornets in the West will play 54 games!

What's even more tragic is that when the Hornets were divided into groups, they were unfortunately assigned to the famous "Group of Death" Southeast Division, and the five teams in the group, in addition to the Hornets, the other four were the Spurs, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Mavericks, all of which made the playoffs last season......

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Surrounded by strong opponents, the Hornets were beaten to the point that they didn't even recognize it, and they are 18-64 this season, first in the West and second to last in the league......

But at the end of the season, Scott's position is still as stable as Mount Tai, for no other reason, because of poverty, Hornets owner George Hinn was the poorest owner in the league at the time, with personal assets of "only" (note, I put it in quotation marks) of $100 million, even the Spurs owner, Pete Holt, who sells tractors, is richer than Hinn, and even his total assets are twice as much as Hinn's! Sinn fired head coach Tim Floyd in a fit of rage last season, losing 5 million for 2 years, and it hurts in retrospect, he just signed a contract with Scott for 10 million this season, and this is only the first year, how can he be willing to fire him?

However, the bad record of this season also brought the Hornets the No. 4 pick in the second year's draft, and the Hornets selected super guard, Chris Paul, and the Hornets officially transformed!

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

I have analyzed it in an article before, Paul's lower limit is very high, just give him a little bit of broken copper, he can play for you, not to mention that Scott also dug out the mid-range prince David West from the bench, Paul and West's blocking tactics are the killer of the Hornets all year round!

After the transformation, the New Orleans Hornets showed good strength, playing a 38-44 record in the West surrounded by strong opponents, one step away from the playoffs, and in the selection of the best rookie, Chris Paul got 99% of the first votes and was successfully elected as the best rookie.

For a hopeful star like Paul, Scott of course began all kinds of fancy praises, what Paul is the best point guard in the league, Paul's competitiveness is comparable to Jordan, Paul is the best point guard I have met in my coaching career, etc.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Of course, Scott's praise for Paul in the first few years of his career was still relatively restrained, after all, Paul was just a rookie, and Paul did deserve such praise, but when Paul was in the late stages of his Hornets career, Scott's style of speech gradually began to be exaggerated, and it developed in the direction of kneeling and licking- Jordan is the greatest player in NBA history, Paul is the greatest point guard in history, Paul is a leader ahead of his time, Stern does not allow Kobe to join forces with Paul because he is unwilling to let NO.1 play with NO.2, some players in the NBA rely on talent, some players rely on strength, and Paul is talent + strength...... Wait, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

In the 2007-2008 season, after two seasons of experience, Paul has become a super guard with an average of 21 points and 11.6 assists per game, and more importantly, this season the Hornets are 56-26, and the record is not only the second highest in the West, but also the best record in the history of the Hornets.

Kobe Bryant's MVP this season is well deserved, but Paul's ability has gone beyond the MVP.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

This season, Scott won the first and only best coach trophy in his career, but this is also Scott's peak in the Hornets, in the 2008-2009 season, the Hornets 49-33, ranked seventh in the West, 1:4 in the first round by the Nuggets, next season, the first nine games, the Hornets 3-6, and then was fired.

The reason for Scott's dismissal is very simple, simply because he has no goods in his stomach, he has coached the Hornets for 5 years, and he has been fighting back and forth, just one move Paul and West or Tyson Chandler's blocking, at most plus Peja's fixed-point three-point, just these three or two flower fists and embroidered legs, have long been studied by the opponent thoroughly, last year's playoff defeat to the Nuggets, Paul, West, Peja's three core efficiency plummeted, and the Nuggets ate the Hornets tactics are not unrelated, and Scott's on-the-spot command ability is also lacking, all signs show that Scott is not a championship-level head coach。

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

However, Scott still has some shining points, such as he still has some experience in digging newcomers, David West, Scott coached the Hornets the year before he came to the team, when he was just a small bench, averaging 3.8 points per game, after Scott coached the Hornets, West only played 30 games due to injury, an average of 6 points per game, as a rookie outside the lotto, he didn't play in the first two years, and he also suffered a major injury, which is basically useless in the hands of other head coaches, but Scott found West's accurate mid-range shot and burly figure, so he decisively promoted him to the starter and played with PaulIn his third year, West averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game, and in the selection of the Most Improved Player award that year, West was second only to Boris Dior.

Another example is Tyson Chandler, who was in the Chicago Bulls for the previous 5 years, averaging 5 points and 7 rebounds per game, standard interior coolie, but after coming to the Hornets, Scott discovered Chandler's talent in rebounding and defense, and was decisively promoted to starter, played blocking and dismantling with Paul, and cultivated into the team's defensive core, contributing 9.5 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks that season, and the shooting percentage soared from 56% last season to 63% this season, and Chandler also ranked fourth among the best improved players that year.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Of course, in the process of Chris Paul gradually becoming a supergiant, Scott also contributed a lot, and it was precisely because Scott still had certain strengths in discovering newcomers that Scott was immediately favored by the Cleveland Cavaliers after being laid off by the Hornets.

At that time, the Cavaliers were in the midst of the bone-chilling pain of James leaving Miami, with a 61-21 record last season, the first record in the league, accompanied by James's "decision one" And fell apart, the Cavaliers that Scott took over, except for James and the aging O'Neal, are basically the original team, such as Antoine Jamison, JJ Hickson, Daniel Gibson, Morris Williams, Anderson Vallejo, Anthony Parker, Alonzo Key, Samado Samueels, etc., Scott relied on these goods, and his record changed from 61-21 last season, first in the East and first in the league, to 19-63 this season, first in the East and second to last in the league。

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

It's not so much that James brought this Cavaliers to heights that don't belong to him, but that Jason Kidd and Chris Paul brought Scott to heights that don't belong to him, and in Cleveland, without the blessing of star guards, Scott's coaching is simply a human tragedy, with no system on offense, disorganized defense, disheartened players, and chaotic management.

In the game, Scott, who stood on the sidelines, always held his arms to his chest, not impatient, with an elegant face, and played a small climax on the opposite side, he did not call a timeout, his lead was overtaken by the opponent, and he did not call a timeout, this is not as good as Lao Li, although our Lao Li is also more pulled, but he will pour chicken soup and stimulate the fighting spirit of the players, but Scott, no one knows what tactics he wants to play, perhaps, even he doesn't know.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

But Scott was lucky, in the 2011 draft, Scott, who attended on behalf of the Cavaliers, used a 2.7% probability to draw the top pick, thus bringing super guard Kelly Irving into the account, this scene is similar to the 2005 Hornets selected Paul, they are also super guards, the team is also in ruins, and the head coach is also Byron Scott.

But Irving is not Paul, in the second season, 21-45, although the winning rate has improved a lot, but the ranking, from the second-to-last in the league last season, has become the fourth-to-last in this season, and in the third season, 24-58, the third-to-last in the league, it seems, it seems, it seems, there is no difference in these three years.

For Irving, Scott's heart is conflicted, you say don't lick it, Irving is the boss of this team, the absolute core, you say lick it, Irving is obviously not qualified, and he feels disgusting if he licks hard...... It was under such ambivalence that Scott stepped down, and in his three-year Cavaliers career, he had a total of 64 wins and 166 losses, with a winning rate of 27.8%, and was named the head coach with the lowest winning percentage in the history of the Cavaliers.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

In 2014, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni played a magic block, within three meters, five meters away, people and animals did not score, all with three-point shots to smash people, the Lakers had to cut him, and then Kobe Bryant supported Byron Scott to become the new coach of the Lakers, Scott got a super contract worth a total of $17 million (the last year of the team option) for 4 years, becoming the 17th head coach in Lakers history.

Why does Kobe support Byron Scott, this matter is also very simple, the first season of Kobe's career is the last season of Scott's career, that is to say, the two have been teammates, and Kobe and Scott were both substitutes at the time, Kobe played only 15 minutes per game, Scott played 18 minutes per game, and spent more time on the bench together than on the court, so the two became good friends.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

At that time, Kobe Bryant was just a hairy boy, a little angry, and Scott was a Lakers celebrity, and he signed in Los Angeles in the last year of his career just thinking about returning to his roots, in terms of team status, Scott is undoubtedly Kobe's big brother, but after 30 years of feng shui turns, offense and defense have changed, and now Kobe is the team's boss, and Scott has become Kobe's vassal, in other words, whether Scott's position can sit firmly, that is, Kobe's words.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

On the first day of Scott's tenure, he announced a jaw-dropping appointment, Scott appointed Kobe as an assistant coach, note, he is a serious assistant coach, and he has a salary to be paid, and it is also announced that Kobe has the right to replace himself in the game as the head coach, and when Kobe is on the court, it is as if he is giving orders.

Of course, Kobe Bryant was still recovering from injury at this time, he only played 35 games this season because of his Achilles tendon rupture at the end of last season, although he could still score 22+5+5 data, but his efficiency plummeted, and his shooting rate was only 37%, Kobe Bryant also suffered a lot of criticism because of this, but Scott will always be the one who most defends Kobe.

Scott in the Lakers, changed his elegant temperament in the past, and became Kobe's strongest bodyguard, as long as someone dared to say no word to Kobe, Scott immediately killed him with a big knife, some people said that Kobe's playing time should be limited, and Randle, Russell, and Clarkson should be given some opportunities, Scott immediately retorted, the time these two played together was not half as long as Kobe, Kobe knew when he was going to get off the court.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

Some people also said that Kobe Bryant's efficiency on the offensive end is too low, so it is better to give up part of the shooting power and distribute it to other young players to help them grow as soon as possible.

On January 7, 2015, the Lakers lost to the Clippers 89:114, this defeat brought the Lakers' record to 11-25, and the hope of the playoffs was extremely slim.

The first thing Scott saw was Blake Griffin's game-high score on 9-of-13 shooting, scoring 27 points, plus 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals on 9-of-13 shooting, while Jordan Hill, who was opposite the Lakers, had 13 points and 3 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

"Hill! Your defenses are as soft as toilet paper in the toilet!"

The next man had his turn to start center Ed Davis, who had only 4 points and 3 rebounds, and Scott was furious!

"Ed, you let Jordan Jr. grab 13 rebounds, including 5 frontcourt rebounds! Hill is toilet paper, you are straw paper!"

The next man was Wayne Harington, who played the longest time in the game, reaching 40 minutes and finishing with 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-10 shooting.

"Wayne, your shot is like!

Next, it was Jeremy Lin, who shot 5 of 9 from the field and scored 12 points, 3 assists and 3 turnovers-

"Jamie, you've made too many mistakes, are you sleepwalking this ball!"

Next, Jordan Clarkson, who played only 20 minutes and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 6-of-10 shooting-

"Clarkson, you're a ball black hole, a cancer, you can't pass the ball!"

Finally, there was Robert Thackeray, who played only 10 minutes and grabbed 4 rebounds, including 2 frontcourt rebounds-

"Thackeray, is your towel rusty?

Finally, Scott's eyes fell on the technical stats of the last man on the team, Kobe Bryant, who played 28 minutes and shot 2-of-12 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range, 4 points and 6 turnovers.

Scott looked up at Kobe Bryant with an extremely serious expression, then looked around at everyone, and then spoke,

"You have to learn Xi Kobe's never-say-die spirit, as a superstar, even if you don't feel good, you must have the courage to shoot and take responsibility! This is the spirit of the game that a good player should have! Okay, this meeting is here, except for Kobe, everyone has to write a review, bring it over tomorrow, and end the meeting!"

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

There's one person in this who we want to focus on, Jeremy Lin.

Kobe doesn't like Jeremy Lin, everyone can see it, but to this day, Fireworks doesn't know why, but Scott is like Kobe's pawn, as long as Kobe doesn't like it, of course he doesn't like it, so in the game, he targeted, sarcastic, and sarcastic Jeremy Lin, such as Jeremy Lin's return from injury, but he couldn't pass Scott's application to play, in a media interview, a reporter asked why Jeremy Lin couldn't play after recovery, Scott replied like this,

"As long as I can score and give assists, my mom is 70 years old, and I'm going to send him on the court. ”

Scott's implication is that even if Jeremy Lin returns from injury, it will be useless for the team, but it is clear that Scott's sarcastic words are biased, this season Jeremy Lin has been under the pressure, averaging only 25 minutes of playing time per game, scoring more than 11 points, 4.6 assists, and 1.1 steals, and his three-point shooting rate is a career-high 37%, his performance is obviously contrary to Scott's mouth of "no points, no assists".

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

In the two seasons that Scott coached the Lakers, there was really nothing to say except for kneeling and licking Kobe, 21-61 in the first year, second to last in the West, fourth from the bottom in the league, 17-61 in the second year, first from the bottom in the West, second to last in the league, and won a total of 38 games in two years.

Throughout Scott's 15-year coaching career, a total of 454 wins, 647 losses, a winning rate of 41.2%, not only the winning rate is low, but Scott's business ability and on-the-spot command performance are difficult to be qualified for the position of head coach, every time in the selection of the NBA's top ten worst coaches, Scott is not allowed to occupy a place.

The most licking head coach in NBA history – Byron Scott

But as an aside, Scott has only earned a total of $11 million in 14 years of playing, and in the past 15 years of coaching, don't just laugh at Scott's knees and licks, people have earned a total of more than $30 million, almost three times as much as when he played, and when he counted the money in the bed at night, he couldn't hide his teeth, and Scott, who was in his sixties, found a little wife who was nearly 30 years younger than him, a proper winner in life.

Well, what do you think of Byron Scott, let's discuss it in the comment area, if you like Fireworks Jun's articles, please click Follow + Like, Fireworks will continue to output high-quality original content to everyone.
