🧠 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. 😬...
