🧠 Are Coaches Even That Important in Today’s NBA?
Bro… let’s keep it real for a second.
You really think most NBA coaches are that important?
I’m not talking about Popovich or Spo — they’re different beasts.
I’m talking about the other 25 guys standing on the sideline in a tailored suit, clapping, yelling “GOOD JOB!”
🏀 Superstars Run the Show Anyway
KD, Luka, LeBron, Shai…
they’re basically their own offensive coordinators.
They call for screens, they ISO, they read doubles.
You think Jason Kidd is telling Luka exactly how to dissect a defense?
Nah bro — Luka’s cooking up the reads himself.
Same with LeBron.
Half the time he’s literally pointing dudes where to stand.
The coach is just hoping he doesn’t mess up the rotations.
🤯 What About “System Coaches”?
Sure, some guys matter.
-
Spoelstra’s heat culture & insane adjustments.
-
Pop’s old motion offense.
-
Steve Kerr unlocked Curry’s off-ball chaos.
But for every Kerr, there’s like 10 dudes just surviving because their superstar bails them out.
😬 Modern NBA is More Player-Driven Than Ever
Analytics, spacing, player empowerment…
Now guys team up, pick their destinations, basically build rosters in banana boat group chats.
So do you really think the coach is in control?
Bro half the time it’s just:
“Get out the way, give the ball to the star, pray he drops 40.”
🤔 My Take?
Look — coaching still matters for culture, defense, rotations.
But in the modern NBA?
Superstars run the show.
A coach’s real job might just be managing egos and keeping the locker room from exploding.
💬 What do YOU think?
Do coaches still matter that much?
Or are we in a full-blown player-run league now?
