On May 19, it was reported that a few days ago, McHale, a former NBA player and Celtics celebrity, talked about James and Durant in the podcast "SiriusXM NBA Radio", and he said that although he likes James and Durant, the life span of coaching them will not be too high.
This season, both the Suns and Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, with Durant's Suns swept out 4-0 by the Timberwolves and the Lakers swept out 4-1 by the Nuggets.
At the end of the season, the Lakers and Suns fired coaches Ham and Vogel, respectively, and are about to have a new head coach.
Speaking about the impact of James and Durant on head coaches, McHale said on the podcast SiriusXM NBA Radio: "From a player perspective, I like both of them, James and Durant. But, man, I have to tell you, if you're coaching these top players, you don't usually have a very long lifespan, and when you get the job, you're going to have to live on it. ”
McHale also said that Jandu likes to blame the coach for the team's failures, but in fact, many of the problems are of their own making, "It seems that it is easier to blame others without speaking out." ”
It is worth mentioning that the 68-year-old McHale, who played for the Celtics in his 13-year career, played in 971 regular season games, averaged 17.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, was selected as an NBA All-Star 7 times, won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year 2 times, won the championship 3 times, his No. 32 jersey has long been retired by the Green Army, and he has also been inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, the 50 NBA all-time 50 stars, and the NBA all-time 75 stars.
After retiring, McHale served as a coach, coaching the Timberwolves and Rockets.
Regarding the criticism of celebrities, netizens said, "After all, the purpose of having superstars is to win the championship, and you can't use them, the coach is the best way to deal with them"
"The Lakers scolded Cephalosporin, the Warriors scolded Kerr, the Suns scolded Vogel, and the Clippers scolded Tyronn Lue. Don't say anyone, is there a good coach in the NBA?"
"The Suns don't pay much attention to it, for the Lakers to see more, let's just say two points, one is when Lao Zhan is anxious to challenge, and the other is when he is caught up by 20 points, he doesn't dare to say that he is afraid of being sprayed, but at least it can be said that his on-the-spot adaptability is very bad, right?"
"If I don't change the coach, I'll leave, what will the boss do?"
"Although, however, Lao Zhan is gone, Spo is still there"
"The refrigerator was not sprayed when he was the coach of the Rockets, there are only a few coaches with two brushes, how can it be so easy to coach a good team."
