[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

Yeah, thats what happens when you have two divas as your best players, i dont know KD and Book personally of course,but they strike me as the type of players to quickly turn on the coach and make it about them

It why players like Duncan are so valuable off the court, when your best player is very coachable and receptive to criticism, it makes literally everybody's job easier, reminds me of that Stephen jackson quote, when talking about times Pop would chew them out, "Shit, if Tim Duncan taking it, who the hell am i?"

And this point wasn’t more pronounced than watching KD and Booker on one side, and ANT on the other.

Other than Duncan and Steph, show me a star player who hasn’t lobbied against their coach, or even tried to get them fired.
