The first-year head coach’s introductory news conference includes glowing praise for polarizing guard Russell Westbrook and talk of “sacrifice” for all.
If the talk comes to fruition, and Darvin Ham’s first impression as the Lakers head coach turns out to be a lasting one, his team not only will be successful again but more fun to watch.
“Oh, man, it was great,” Ham said. “And God rest his soul, man, we spent a lot of time together on the practice floor, individual workouts, watching film and watching clips. And if I can go back and forth with him and have him disagree with me and then double back and tell me how I was right, we all know how stubborn he was, man. It just gave me a wealth of confidence in myself as a coach, just … him sharing with me the different ways he saw the game.
“… , they’re not great by mistake and they want to be able to do something. I know all of them feel this way. They want to be able to do something collectively that’s great. Put another banner in this building. And it starts right now.”
