Yesterday, the Los Angeles Lakers officially introduced former Milwaukee assistant and NBA player Darvin Ham as their next head coach — an always illustrious and pressure-filled job. Ham’s been handed a particularly tall task, considering the pivotal crossroads the team is at with championship aspirations but a seemingly fragmented roster.
This was Ham’s first media availability since becoming head coach and he answered a litany of questions on a variety of topics — ranging from his own approach, to how he views the team, to his vision for their path to success.
There were reports that Coach Ham’s personality, command of a room and approach were key reasons why the Lakers’ front office were enamored with him.
