LeBron James meets the media for the last time after the end of a disappointing season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

When he met with the press, James was already well aware of the dismissal of coach Frank Vogel, with whom he won a championship in the bubble, in 2020.

“I respect Frank as a coach, as a person,” said James. Our cooperation here in recent years has been full of good discussions. He is a man who gives everything to basketball λικά Finally, I do not know what will happen to Frank, but I have nothing but respect for him. »

Vogel found himself in an embarrassing situation at the end of the Lakers’ victory over the Nuggets on Sunday, when ESPN’s Adrian Voinarowski announced that the head coach would be fired.

When a reporter briefed Vogel on the news that Voinarovski had reported after the match, Vogel simply said, “They told me absolutely nothing.” (I was not told s ***)

The Lakers will therefore begin a recruitment process to find a coach who can work with James.

When asked about the nature of the line failures he completes with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, James blamed the injuries.

“The reason we were not very good is that we were not on the pitch at the same time. “That’s the number one reason,” said James.

The trio played only 21 games at a time, setting a disappointing 11-10 record. The Lakers finished the season with a record of 33-49 to be excluded from the NBA playoffs.
