LeBron James is not playing in this year’s NBA playoffs, but he is still making his voice heard.
After the Western Conference play-in game, where the Pelicans beat the Clippers 105–101, James had praise for one particular coach, and it wasn’t the winning one. LeBron seemed to call Clippers coach Tyronn Lue “the best coach in the game.”
The Clippers were down 10 at halftime, but Los Angeles came out strong in the third quarter and outscored New Orleans by 20, which caused many people to praise Lue. However, the Clippers ran out of gas in the end as the Pelicans out-played them in the fourth quarter.
