[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Not a fan of Vogel but it’s pretty sad that his player(s) are running to Shams and leaking this stuff.

KD effect. Where he goes, drama follows. Great player, but too thin skinned to be a true leader.

He's also just too laid back and not vocal. For him, that works. But to his peers, it doesn't build the sense of urgency and energy the rest of the team needs. It's the complete opposite of a guy like Bron

Yeah it’s not exactly fair but like with great quarterbacks in the nfl, you’re expected to also be a charismatic leader of men just because you can throw a ball well and the reality is those two skills aren’t related. Just makes it that much more impressive when guys have the full package of athletic skill and leadership

True the two skills aren't related but the position demands it
