I think its one side of a story. As all media stories are.
Is there another side to openly disrespecting your coach?
If I only take that interpretation as the correct interpretation of all the events that went down. I can imagine another article talking with different people with a different interpretation. So to answer in a generic way. Yes.
I think its a window into the conflict between the two which is more how I read the article versus a 100% gospel version of the how things are going down and who is in the wrong and who is in the right 100%
There is one piece of "evidence" in that article which is Lebron disagreed with a play being drawn up and apparently shook his head which Stein observed. The rest is I think Lebron should support his coach more judgments from an outsider looking into a situation.
Reading that article what is the concrete tangible evil thing that Lebron has done? Huddle with Lue?
I'm not saying there isn't conflict between the two. But I'm not sure the correct answer, especially from an outsider looking in is to say that the coach is always right and you always blindly support the coach. Maybe the coach/boss is wrong. Just like potentially at any other profession.
