Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, that hasn’t stopped from a reputation as a “coach killer” forming, due to the fact that he’s had eight coaches in 17 seasons, despite only playing on only three teams.
Fair or not, James has garnered a label of someone who can uncoachable. That’s despite the likes of Erik Spoelstra, Tyronn Lue, Luke Walton and now Frank Vogel among those who speak highly of their time coaching James.
The rumors of James butting heads with coaches became extremely prevalent when David Blatt was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers despite helping the team get to the NBA Finals the year before.
