Related: About this forumHi, I'm Deron Williams from the Brooklyn Nets
In my NBA career, I've gotten TWO coaches fired, HOF Jerry Sloan and Avery Johnson. I just lost a Game 7 at home to the Chicago Bulls, and they didn't have their best player at all in the series, Derrick Rose. Also, the Bulls had several other key players hurt, and yet, I played soft. I couldn't push my team to a win.
But it's all good. My team can't fire me like they did my coaches.

(165 posts)1. Minor quibble...
Jerry Sloan retired...but that doesn't affect your main point that Deron is still a coach killer

He got him fired, and then showed up small against a depleted Bulls team at home for Game 7.
That's some weak sauce there.

I would have done better.
In fact, those coaches should have been fired for the simple fact they didn't put me on the court instead of him.
