Hey everyone, it’s your boy here, back with another story from my own life. Today, I’m gonna talk about Darvin Ham. Yeah, that guy, the former NBA player and now a coach. Let me tell you, this guy’s career is something else, and I’ve been digging into it, so let’s get started.
So, first off, I started by looking up who this Darvin Ham dude even was. Turns out, he’s been around the block in the NBA, not just as a player but also as a coach. This got me thinking, how does someone even make that jump from playing to calling the shots from the sidelines? I decided to find out more.
Next, I started digging into his history. Turns out, the guy wasn’t just an assistant, he’s been grinding in the coaching world since 2008. First in the D-League with some team called the New Mexico Thunderbirds. Can you believe it? A team named Thunderbirds! Anyway, he was their head coach for a bit. That’s where he really started to learn the ropes, you know?
Then, I moved on to his NBA coaching career. He’s been an assistant coach for over a decade, 11 years to be exact! Now, 11 years just sitting and watching the head coach. He must have seen some things, and learned a lot. This had to help him get better at this whole coaching thing.
Finally, I hit the jackpot. Guess what? He got the top job! On June 3, 2022, Darvin Ham was hired as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers, man! That’s huge! All that time watching and learning finally paid off. That made me think about a new team led by JJ Redick, but it seems like they want to do things differently, and they have some kind of plan. But honestly, I’m not super into talking about the complicated basketball details.
So, there you have it. That’s my deep dive into Darvin Ham’s journey to becoming the head coach of the Lakers. It’s a story of hard work, man. Hope you guys enjoyed this little story. Stay tuned for more!
