TMZ Sports caught up with Master P and guess what he said? He wants to be the next Lakers coach with Shaq as his assistant coach. The Lakers’ 2021-2022 season hasn’t been a good one and I guess it’s the reason why Master P wants to step in with Shaq and positively turn things around. He wants the Lakers owner Jeanie Buss to bring him on board to turn things around for the Lakers.
While speaking to TMZ, Master P went on to say he would like for owner Jeanie Buss to bring him into the fold to help the Lakers get back on point. “Bring me in, I can help get us some W’s,” said the No Limit mogul. Master P then spoke on how he isn’t used to seeing the Lakers in the shape they are, pointing out people like Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant as pillars of success for the team. “They need some alpha males over there,” P said. “Cant get nothing bigger than me. If you want to win, bring me in,” said the mogul.
He concluded by speaking about who he would bring in the help with coaching, saying, “I’ll bring some hell of assistant coaches with me. Shaq, John Lucas. I don’t know if Shaq wants to do that, but if he do, we can take over. I can’t see another team like that.”
Master P if appointed as Lakers coach isn’t bringing only Shaq as his assistant coach, he’s also bringing in John Lucas too.
LeBron is always the de facto head coach of whatever team he is on, so it doesn’t really matter who the Lakers hire, LeBron runs the team. I’d love Master P to get the job, but we know that isn’t going to happen, but it is nice to dream about.
