The friction between LeBron James and Lakers coach Darvin Ham continues to play out in front of fans.
Earlier this season, LeBron openly admitted to overruling his coach’s playcalls to run his own plays.
“In the Clipper game, we had switching built in versus Kawhi and versus James (Harden), and I vetoed it in the second half.”

Fans are convinced that Ham will be fired after this season despite the fact that he has gotten the full backing of Lakers owner Jeanie Buss.
