Los Angeles Lakers fans are having a field day on social media, mocking JJ Redick after Kenny Atkinson was crowned the 2024-25 NBA Coach of the Year. Atkinson’s impressive season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he led the team to a 64-18 record, has made him a standout in the league.
Lakers fans are likely feeling frustrated after the team parted ways with Darvin Ham and hired Redick, who lacks head coaching experience in the NBA. Atkinson’s success has highlighted the challenges Redick may face in his new role.
The contrast between Atkinson’s achievements and Redick’s inexperience has sparked lively discussions among fans and analysts. Atkinson’s ability to maximize his players’ potential and lead his team to a top seed in the Eastern Conference has set a high bar for Redick.
As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Redick to see how he navigates his first year as a head coach. Will he be able to replicate Atkinson’s success.
