Ham coached “The Greek Freak” last season as an assistant under Mike Budenholzer and will be the Lakers’ shot-caller next season. Jeanie Buss’ hacked Twitter account, which sold PS5s, resulted in a successful scam. The Lakers’ team governor gladly refunded the victim. Kendrick Perkins sees significant upside in the LA Lakers’ backcourt featuring Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley. The long-time antagonists could form a defensive pairing that could do wonders for LA’s season. New LA Lakers coach Darvin Ham puts Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James on the same level The LA Lakers were excited to hire Darvin Ham, one of Mike Budenholzer’s assistant coaches in Milwaukee. Ham is known for his confidence, attention to detail, management and no-nonsense coaching. It also helped that he worked closely with Giannis Antetokounmpo, considered by many the league's best player. In an interview with Clutchpoints, the first-time head coach revealed what he thought of “The Greek Freak” and LeBron James: “There is no difference. They’re both hungry, they’re both great, and they’re both generational type players.” Legion Hoops@LegionHoopsDarvin Ham compares LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo: “They’re both hungry, they’re both great, and they’re both generational type players.”(via @FadeawayWorld)fadeawayworld.net/nba-media/darv…23923Darvin Ham compares LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo: “They’re both hungry, they’re both great, and they’re both generational type players.”(via @FadeawayWorld)fadeawayworld.net/nba-media/darv… The difference may be more discernible at this stage than the coach is willing to admit. “King James” is at the tail end of his career and may not be as dominant, despite averaging 30.3 points per game last season. Ham decided to run the offense through Anthony Davis next season, a move that LeBron James agreed on.

He makes the Bucks one of the best teams in the loaded Eastern Conference. Jeanie Buss pays one of her followers who fell victim to a PS5 sale from her hacked Twitter account Despite security measures, Jeanie Buss’ Twitter account was hacked a few weeks ago. Her account stunned almost everyone when it posted information about PS5s for sale. A day later, she desperately tried to warn everyone not to fall for the scam, but apparently, at least one fell for the trick. The LA Lakers team governor graciously refunded the victim even though she wasn’t responsible for the incident.

The acquisition of Beverley could spell the end for Russell Westbrook. According to Kendrick Perkins, the LA Lakers could have something brewing if they keep Westbrook: “Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook actually could be the most dangerous defensive backcourt in the NBA.” Kendrick Perkins@KendrickPerkinsRussell Westbrook is arguably the most athletic guard to ever play the game of basketball… and his goal this season should be to make an All-Defensive team for the 1st time in his career!

Carry the hell on… twitter.com/firsttake/stat… The former NBA player’s assessment could be a stretch, considering Westbrook and Beverley's long-running and public beef. It could be difficult for either to shove under the rug what has been transpiring since 2013. Several Minnesota Timberwolves players openly and arrogantly mocked Russell Westbrook last season. Patrick Beverley, who repeatedly called Westbrook " trash, " was one of the loudest and most animated to troll the former MVP. Sportskeeda Basketball@Basketball_SKPat Beverley - Russell Westbrook beef runs deep! From calling each other in the media to on-court trash-talk and scuffles! Now they are TEAMMATES on Lakers! Does the PatBev - Russ Beef ends here? ?#russellwestbrook #patbeverly #lakers #nba1Pat Beverley - Russell Westbrook beef runs deep!

Does the PatBev - Russ Beef ends here? ?#russellwestbrook #patbeverly #lakers #nba https://t.co/1Ho6wc6v8V Turning the LA Lakers’ Beverley and Westbrook backcourt into a defensive juggernaut may be more complicated than projected. Westbrook has never been that player in his entire NBA career. Asking him to change positions at this stage in his career may be asking for too much.
