Darvin Ham’s journey in the NBA has taken an interesting turn over the past two seasons. After parting ways with the Los Angeles Lakers last season, the former Lakers head coach continues to make his mark in the league, particularly in the NBA Cup.
During his tenure with the Lakers, Ham played a crucial role in securing the team’s success in the NBA Cup. Under his leadership, the Lakers dominated the in-season tournament, finishing with a flawless 7-0 record.
They cruised through group play with a 4-0 record and remained unbeaten in the knockout stage, ultimately winning the NBA Cup. It was a crowning achievement for Ham, even though his stint with the Lakers ended shortly after.
This season, both Ham and the Lakers are charting new paths. While the Lakers brought in JJ Redick as their new head coach, Ham found a new opportunity as a top assistant on the coaching staff with Doc Rivers’ Milwaukee Bucks. Despite the transition, Ham’s NBA Cup dominance has carried over.

The Bucks, under Rivers and Ham’s guidance, replicated Ham’s past success by going undefeated in group play. They continued their strong performance with a 114-109 victory over the Orlando Magic in the quarterfinals. With the Bucks’ quarterfinal win, Ham’s NBA Cup record now stands at a perfect 12-0. The feat is unmatched by any other coach in the league.
