Make way for Coach LeBron.


Seriously, why hire anybody to fill that position?


Has a coach ever been fired while on track to coach his conference's All-Star game?

Bizarre.

Wow. Lol. That was quick fire by LeBron. Not sure it'ss his fault they have an oddly constructed roster, thugs surrounding LBJ, and a PG injured 98% of his life.   Who now?!

Just saw this on Twitter. The cavs are 30-11 and have played the spurs/warriors 3 times already. Wow, whether this had anything to do with LBJ he certainly won't look good.

I am sure it has happened, but how often has a team won the championship with a coach fired midseason

This is pretty surprising. I would've been prepared for this after last year's Finals loss, or if the Cavs failed to win it all this season. But halfway in between? Weird. But as others have suggested, they may as well just make LeBron the player/coach, since he basically is already.

Wonder if this is LeBron trying to prove a point because Spoelstra remained employed despite his machinations?

Either way the timing is frankly bizarre.

I'm really curious about who will coach the East team now.

If it wasn't for Golden State's coach being ineligible since they coached last year, this could be Kerr vs Cleveland's coach with both having coached like <10 games this year.
