LOS ANGELES — Lakers coach Darvin Ham is a two-time NBA champion. He says nothing has ever been handed to him throughout his life or his career.
So when Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr publicly accused Lakers players of flopping during the teams' Western Conference semifinals series this spring, Ham took it personally.
During an appearance on the "#thisleague UNCUT" podcast earlier this week, Ham compared Kerr's words to "playing chess, playing poker, whatever you want to call it, guys trying to give themselves any and every chance in every possible way to come out on top of a situation and be victorious."
