Mark Jackson was the coach of the Golden State Warriors before Steve Kerr took the helm. While he doesn’t often get credit for the rise of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, some claim that he was crucial to the development of stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Recently, Kenny Smith has claimed that Mark Jackson would be able to coach the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship. Many believe that the Lakers have the pieces to be a championship team, and are only missing a coach that will get the best out of their talent.
I don’t know if anyone can save the day… Mark Jackson, he knows how to handle that kind of environment. He put the Warriors in contention of what they are. The way they play, their style of play. Steph Curry owes a lot to his career, because before Mark got there, Steph Curry wouldn’t even play in 4th quarters. We wouldn’t think he was a great player, a great defender.
Mark Jackson could coach the Lakers to a championship, for sure… That would be a good pick. Mark Jackson, Lakers’ next coach.
Mark Jackson is reportedly someone that LeBron James would welcome as the Lakers’ next head coach. However, it is unclear if the Los Angeles Lakers have any plans to hire Jackson in the future.
And here’s a tidbit to monitor as the Lakers conduct their latest coaching search: Sources say James would be very enthused by the prospect of Mark Jackson landing the job. But as history tells us, that doesn’t mean it will actually happen.
It remains to be seen if the Los Angeles Lakers figure things out and become a championship-caliber team next season. They missed the play-in tournament entirely this season, so it seems like a difficult task.
With that being said, a team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis shouldn’t be counted out. They have a star duo that has already won a championship and perhaps they can do it again in the future.
