James is afraid of offending all coaches, and believes that young players should be alert to coaches and avoid being exploited.

LeBron James uploaded his June 1 podcast "Follow the Game" to YouTube, and recently partnered with Luca Doncic and Stephen Nash on his own podcast show, talking about why young players shouldn't need coaches too early in their careers. LeBron James' remarks have aroused many controversies among fans and media. After all, the Lakers where LeBron James is located have changed many head coaches in recent years.

LeBron James said "I didn't have a basketball coach until my second, third or fourth year in the NBA. My basketball training was just on the court. Let's go play basketball, and a lot of skill coaches and trainers are involved in the lives of these kids - they actually really want to be more famous than the kids. They think they are more important than the kids they train, their motivations are impure. Like, they want to be on camera, they want to be recognized, they want to communicate with the media."

LeBron James believes that young players, and children, don't need to grow up with "basketball coaches." This remark will definitely arouse controversy among many fans and media. After all, there are many great players and coaches in NBA history, who complement each other and they grow up together.

"Say, I trained Luca for two summers and he had an outbreak season. Now they want to interview some people - like, that's not his M's goal, right? The purpose is to help the kid recover. Help him learn more about the game than before. Not to make you famous. I think that changed a lot of things too - kids don't know the purity, nature and beauty of the sport."

LeBron James was a slum, came into contact with basketball since he was a child, and relied on basketball to counterattack. In fact, his experience makes it reasonable for him to say this. After all, the essence of basketball should be pure. Over the years, NBA gambling has become a bit dirty, and some coaches' operations are also a mystery.

LeBron James believes that young players need to be alert to coaches who cannot help them improve, and do not be with those kind of coaches who draw pie, and do not become a stepping stone for others to advance. You should know that LeBron James has played in the NBA for 22 seasons, has partnered with many coaches, and has also partnered with several coaches in the Lakers. But only Vogel and Ham allowed him to go further in the playoffs, especially Vogel, who led the Lakers to win the championship together.

LeBron James, who enters the 2025 offseason, has a $52 million player option. It is almost unlikely that he will succeed again in the playoffs. The Lakers boss is unwilling to pay a lot of luxury taxes to help the team create a luxurious lineup that can win the championship.
