LeBron James eyeing JJ Redick's Job: Is his courtside pullover a fashion statement or a job application?


Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James warming up before a preseason game in Las VegasLAPRESSE

Every basketball player has their unique pre-game ritual, and LeBron James is no exception.

From his early morning routines to his famous chalk toss, James has shared much about his preparation. However, a new ritual has surfaced, thanks to NBA Reddit, that may have some larger implications-especially for Lakers head coach JJ Redick.

LeBron James shows off epic moves shaking off criticism

LeBron James seen in Lakers coach's gear

LeBron's recent courtside behavior has raised eyebrows, not because of what he's doing on the court, but what he's wearing off it.

According to a Reddit thread, fans have noticed that James has been consistently sporting a coach's pullover instead of the traditional Lakers warm-up gear.

This subtle but notable shift has sparked questions: Is LeBron James positioning himself for a future in coaching, even while still actively playing?

It might sound trivial at first-after all, it's just a shirt.

But LeBron's switch to the coach's pullover over his player gear is raising intrigue about his intentions.

Could James be signaling his desire to take on a coaching role, either after he retires or even during his final playing years?

Redick still working on team leadership

Redick has brought a new sense of structure and calm to the Lakers, guiding them through a promising preseason despite a few setbacks.

While Redick has worked hard to establish his presence as the leader of the team, LeBron's words during Media Day hinted that his voice, too, holds significant weight on and off the court.

"I'll be an extension of the coaching staff on the floor,"James said, referring to his leadership role.

It's clear that James sees himself not just as a player, but as a strategic mind in the game.

His choice to wear the coach's attire only reinforces this idea, perhaps suggesting that he's ready to step into a more formal role at any moment.

As Lakers fans speculate over James' possible future in coaching, Redick's position as head coach could face scrutiny if the team is off to a slow start in the beginning of the season.

For now, the coaching pullover remains a symbol of the unknown-one that JJ Redick might want to keep an eye on.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels.

Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
