LeBron is reportedly embroiled in yet another power struggle.
New allegations have emerged surrounding Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James that he used his power to antagonize as many head coaches in the Lakers organization as possible. (Related: Jalen Brunson suffers devastating injury that could 100% ruin Knicks' dream season)
There's already been some tension between the two this season, with the biggest highlight being James' side-eye shot toward Hamm. After that, fans already had doubts that LeBron's time with Ham as the Lakers' captain was over.

Now, a report from Lakers insider Anthony Irwin has shed new light on the situation. In a Lakers Daily article, Irwin reported that LeBron constantly overrules Ham's plays with his own and tells his teammates to ignore the coach.

“He's sitting in the huddle, resting and hydrating, wide-eyed while Ham talks, waiting for the huddle to break,'' one person close to the situation told Lakers Daily's Anthony Irwin. “If Ham created the play, as soon as the huddle broke, James would tell everyone else on the court, 'Fuck that,' and call his own play.”

LeBron did this same thing in Cleveland, tried (and failed) in Miami, and now he'll do it again in Los Angeles.
