Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham understands full well how much pressure comes with coaching the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ham was hired as the Lakers’ head coach following Frank Vogel’s dismissal and did well in his first season, leading them to the Western Conference Finals.
However, things spiraled quickly during the 2023-24 season where Ham seemingly lost the locker room and Los Angeles was subsequently bounced out of the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Ham was relieved of his duties but wound up back in Milwaukee under Bucks head coach Doc Rivers.
Ham previously spoke about his dismissal and kept things positive.
