If LeBron and Redick both think the Pacers should have fouled there, immediately fade the Lakers next season if they hire him. – 11:25 PM

As Lakers start coaching meetings (Redick, Borrego, Cassell), LeBron reportedly hands-off in search
While LeBron is not hands-on in this search, to suggest he has no influence on the choice and that the Lakers aren’t trying to please him is a lot.

More on this storyline
Iverson, who is a member of the NBA’s 75 Greatest Players, recalled the moment when Michael Jordan came to the ceremony and entered the room full of NBA legends and how everybody reacted. “I just remember the reaction from everybody else, all the other 74 you know what I mean, and I remember the reaction from them, like I was looking at it like, ‘yo this man is the man for real’,” Iverson said. “I hear all the comparisons and all that you know what I mean and I have to be biased. I have to be because he made me want to be me.” -via BasketNews / May 22, 2024
