Forgotten Los Angeles Lakers coach who was fired despite NBA Cup win with LeBron James does it again on Bucks staff

Darvin Ham, the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, created history by winning another NBA Cup.

The Bucks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 on Tuesday at the T-Mobile Arena, and head coach Doc Rivers’ top assistant watched his team win the championship.

The 51-year-old Ham is now the only NBACup winner to win the title twice.

While leading the Los Angeles Lakers in 2023, the Michigan strategist won his first cup.

Lebron James and company defeated the Indiana Pacers 123-109 under his direction.

Backstage, Haman enjoyed a hero’s reception as the Bucks players celebrated their victory in the locker room.

The coach hailed his players for an incredible effort in the final after Giannis Antetokounmpo and company doused him with water.

“This is what we call a team effort, baby,” said Ham. Well done in carrying out that strategy.

“Everyone took action, both offensively and defensively. Man, you guys are f*****g incredible. Thank to everybody.

A year after winning the NBA Cup, Ham was fired by the Lakers.

Days after the Denver Nuggets defeated Los Angeles for the second consecutive postseason, the news was released.

With two years left on his contract, Ham has been the Lakers’ head coach for two of those years.

Before leaving in 2022, he returned to the Bucks and served as an assistant coach for four years.
