Star Player Reacts to Appointment of New Basketball Coach
### LeBron James expresses excitement and optimism after the appointment of Darvin Ham as new Lakers head coach
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has shared his thoughts on the appointment of Darvin Ham as the team's new head coach. Taking to social media, James expressed his excitement and optimism about the future of the franchise under Ham's leadership.
"Welcome to the Lakers Nation Coach Ham! Super excited! Let's get to work!" James tweeted.
Ham, a former Lakers assistant coach, was appointed as the team's new head coach on June 9th, 2022. He brings with him a wealth of experience in the NBA, having worked as an assistant coach for the Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks.
James' enthusiasm for Ham's appointment is a positive sign for the Lakers, who have struggled in recent seasons. The team finished with a disappointing 33-49 record in the 2021-22 season, missing out on the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
With Ham at the helm, James and the Lakers will be hoping to turn things around in the upcoming season. Ham is known for his defensive prowess, and he will be tasked with improving the Lakers' defense, which was one of the worst in the league last season.
James is not the only Lakers player who is excited about Ham's appointment. Anthony Davis, another star player on the team, also took to social media to express his support for the new coach.
"Excited to work with Darvin Ham! Let's go Lakers!" Davis tweeted.
The Lakers are hoping that Ham can help them get back to their winning ways. The team has a rich history, having won 17 NBA championships, but they have not won a title since 2010.
With James and Davis leading the way, and Ham as their coach, the Lakers will be hoping to make a deep run in the playoffs next season and bring another championship to Los Angeles.
