Former Laker Attacks Darvin Ham in Stunning Comments

The NBA season is in full swing and Lakers fans are feeling good about their team with new head coach JJ Redick. One team that isn't feeling as much hope and optimism, however, is the Milwaukee Bucks.

After hiring former Lakers head coach Darvin Ham as assistant under Doc Rivers, the Bucks started the season extremely poorly. After losing their fourth straight game on Thursday night to fall to 1-4, the Bucks' future looks bleaker than ever.

On the other end of the Bucks' loss was a former Laker who is currently blossoming with the Memphis Grizzlies. After delivering a strong 16-point performance, Scotty Pippen Jr. targeted Ham in his post-game remarks.

Talking about the Bucks assistant, the talented guard said that Ham didn't believe in him when they were both with the Lakers. So, he had to show him what he could do, especially on the defensive end. And he did exactly that.

Pippen Jr. has been one of the more impressive developmental stories in the NBA over the last year. After not getting much of a chance in Los Angeles as an undrafted rookie, Pippen Jr. found his footing with the Grizzlies last year, averaging 12.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game in 21 games. This year, he has picked up where he left off, becoming a key contributor off the bench for Memphis.

The 23-year-old guard joined the long list of current and former Lakers who have thrown shade at Ham after his departure. With how things are going in Milwaukee for Ham, that list will likely only get longer over time.
