The Lue Loop

Does this really look like someone who knows what’s going on? He has the look that most comedians remember their fathers looking like after any question. Tyronn Lue look lost all the time, but…

  What it must be like to be Tyronn Lue, I mean this guy has the kind of luck people only dream about. Really think about it he really wasn’t a good player, Lue left  the University of Nebraska early for the NBA, he was drafted 23rd overall to the Denver Nuggets who immediately traded him to the L.A.Lakers. There he got almost no playing time until the 2001 post season. where he was known for defending  Allen Iverson He received two championship rings with the Lakers. Although we all know that the true players were Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Derek Fisher. Lue’s  his highest PPG is 13.5 with Atlanta back in 2005.  He retires as a players a two-time champion?!! REALLY? o.k. it happens right.  Then lightning struck again for Lue, he was hired as director of basketball by the Boston Celtics in 2009 where he claimed one Eastern Conference Title but lost the championship to the Lakers in his first season. L.A. Clippers gave a chance in July of 2013  and were defeated in the semi finals by Houston and in the first round by by Portland the next season.  Now enter 2014 Tyronn is hired as Cleveland’s highest paid associate coach ( he scored 8.5 PPG).  Well, what could make this any better, Lue is the highest paid assistant coach in the NBA and Lebron James is on the team. David  Blatt the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers is fired mid-season and who is there to step up to he plate… You got it, Tyronn Lue. This turn of events makes for so many firsts, Cleveland not only win the title, but they do it being down 3-1, and just like that history  is made.  Lue became the third person to win a championship as a mid-season replacement putting him in the ranks as Pat Riley.  Because of the contract extension with the Cavaliers he now able to enjoy life for the next two years. Must be nice he doesn’t need a wishing well he is THE LUE LOOP..!!
